I have some days where I only net around 800 calories, but there is usually a good reason why. I have an american bulldog that needs walking three times a day, plus a 7 month old baby to run around after, walk everywhere and sometimes its difficult to prepare the best foods, and end up eating soemthing heavy and stodgy…

I agree. She is gorgeous, I'd love a body like hers. Maybe a bit more muscle definition, but hell if I looked like her i'd be damn happy!

I've gone for soy milk in coffee, I have to admit It is sweet, but it means I'm not having my usual two sugars. I haven't used it in cooking yet, I normally substitute with coconut milk. But can't stand coconut milk on its own or in cereal lol IV has been postponed, again. Waiting on a hospital appointment, but it seems to…

I'm already on over 800mg a day,and as said before, its made no difference over the last three months. My body is just not absorbing iron at all, no matter how much meat I eat or if I increase my Vit C intake. I've tried both of those paths before, so thought I'd try the plant route. It might not work, but at least I can…

Thank you :) I'm attempting make everything from scratch, I have bought some veggie burgers but these are a treat food lol. The only thing im not sure on is milk. As in what do I put in my coffee instead of cows milk? Does soya taste okay?

A link to what sorry? I'm not saying i'm going to 100% be able to absorb more iron this way, but im willing to try it. With my energy levels as low as they are, it makes it very hard to get anything done. Even going back upto an 8 would be nice, at least I could stay awake for the day then!

I have to admit my Doctor is useless. I have been severely anemic for years, but after the birth of my daughter it got a lot worse. My Iron level is normally sat around 6, sometimes if I'm lucky 7.His suggestion for loosing weight, is to excercise more, which is great, but as I work 6 hour shifts as a care worker 6 days a…

I take over 800mg of iron a day, and it never budges, infact it just keeps going down =[ I'm also being tested for celiac diesease, but also have an overactive thyroid which could be affecting it too apparently.

It was actually really satisfying - next time might add a bit more spice. Filled me up a lot faster than my normal meals, and half the calories and probably double the iron. I took a picture I was so proud lol

Thank you for all your suggestions! Definitely will have to do a bit more research. For dinner tonight I'm cooking Lentils, courgettes, leeks, carrots, celery, cumin seeds, tomatoes, spinach and coconut milk, in a sort of casserole. I'm not sure if its the best vegan recipe, or if its lacking in a major food group, but it…

Mainly English, but as i've lived in wales for the past few years its slowly starting to creep in and merge.

Yes definitely a difference! Your stomach is flatter, and your back has more of a curved definition now!

Around 4-6 at the moment, I keep going to bed late, and baby keeps getting up early. I really need to go to sleep earlier lol

Every drawer, cupboard and wardrobe door has to be closed for me to go to sleep. no idea why, but I hate having them open, makes me feel really uneasy, I go around the house every night and close everything.

Some one who is strong, don't have to be overly muscly, but if you could pick me up and throw me, I'd be happy. Tattoos are a bonus too.

My brother was always my harshest critic, but it did help in some weird way, he'd always challenge me, and I did lose weight when I was living at home. As soon as I moved in with my fiance and had a baby I got too "comfortable" around him and gained weight like mad. He isn't the best support, as hes always eating snacks…

I nearly always have the same breakfast, which is toast because I don't have time to do much else. Lunch and dinner normally change, but i'll have the same dinner 2-3 times a week, because I like it, or fancy it and its quick and easy.

I prefer to sleep when its silent, but my OH likes to watch a movie to fall asleep to, so most of the time I go to bed earlier, fall asleep and get woken up by loud gunfire or music. I don't mind as I can roll over and go back to sleep, but it always make me jump. My daughter is the same, she can sleep through anything as…

I was lucky in the fact that the gym I went to was quite open, and a lot of the machines were mixed, so there weren't really any sides. Although I have to admit, if guy were doing weights, the women would wait until they had completely finished and then head over.

I have an american bulldog, huge thing, but he is the softest thing ever.

Barry - south wales here :)

As far away from me as possible. I'm really not a picky eater but i'm not fond of eggs. Once every few months i might have an omelet or when i get the flu i have scrambled eggs on toast, but thats about once every two years lol

I'm about to do day 3 today, but really struggling with motivation this morning, I know I just need to get off my *kitten* (and preferably before the baby wakes up again) but I just can't get myself going.

I'd reckon 30? You have a lovely smile.

Me in my pj's with abby sat on my lap, both looking tired lol

I think tattoos in the work place depend on each individual tattoo. I have several, all of which are not offensive, and easily covered up. I work as a care assistant and residents I work with (elderly) are actually fascinated by my tattoos and like to me show them off as they enjoy talking about them - I dont think it…

I'm actually waiting for blood test results at the moment, one of them being for gluten intolerance. I love beets and didn't know they were high in iron, so thats a bonus! Definitely will take note of improving my vit C, its not amazing at the moment, and I make an effort not to drink coffee when I take my tablets, but I…

Worked for 8 hours, came home played with baby, opened presents and got an early night to prepare for work the next day. Maybe next year hey?

Thank you, I'm pretty much getting to this point, and had to have an infusion about 5 months ago, and will be due another one soon. I've always been told I have trouble absorbing iron, but its starting to affect my work life, and I'm fed up of all these pills so want to try and adjust my diet. I never really eat spinach,…

I looked at my suggested BMI range, then googled people the same height as me and the top end of the normal BMI range, decided to go for that, then see how i feel.
