calcium and iron
I've noticed that I'm not getting enough calcium and iron. Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't eat meat and I have to watch my dairy intake because it can really upset my tummy. I realize that I can take supplements, but I'd like to get more of my nutrition from real food. Thanks, Holly

Weight watchers points
Has anyone tried weight watchers? I went to the website, but unless you join, they don't give you much info on how it works. I'd like to know how they determine your point range. I tried to figure it out for myself and it seems like I would be required to eat 1000 cals and 20 g. fat. As a survivor of an eating disorder, I…

SoI have started taking it and I have to say, I feel an extra kick…

Being overweight is very new to me and its not easy to diet because I have to be careful that I don't fall back into old habits. 10 years ago I could have dropped 10 pounds in less than a week, but there was always that risk of death.
