Just bought a treadmill-pls help
So I weigh about 280, I have just invested a tread mill. For the life of me I can’t get my head into eating properly so I thought I’ll try exercise and hopefully it’ll fall into place.

Has anyone lost weight not cutting down on carbs?

Do you get enough iron?
I've noticed since logging more that I never hit my iron target 100% I'd find it quite hard to, is this common? I've just bought a multivitamin with iron but if I could get it from food I'd feel happier. But the thought of loading up on red meat doesn't do it for me much. Any hints on how I can up my iron intake?
