Topic: RE: How would you react?
monica
Im thinking hes probably pretty proud of you and thats why he told him. If it bothers you though let him know you would rather he not tell people. I would take it as a positive though he probably just doesnt realize. I do tell people but its nice to see heads turn when you walk in a room isnt it? Most people who didnt know me before always say they cant imagine me being 300 + .
Im self concious about my pooch but i must notice it more than others we are our own worst critics.
You are a gorgeous lady. Take the compliments and roll with them.

Topic: RE: Iron and Calcium
This is what I found on the Brown University page:
Iron
You may learn from having your blood tested by a medical provider that your iron levels are low. It is often recommended that you take iron supplements for awhile. Absorption of this iron will be increased if you take the iron along with an acidic food or juice (e.g., orange juice, tomato sauce, strawberries). Taking iron without food may upset the stomach. Don't take a calcium supplement at the same time, since calcium can interfere with the body's ability to absorb iron.

Just don't take the two together..space them apart

I fell years ago going out to the mailbox, landed on my tush in the rain and sat there as the mailman passed me by,,but oh the pain!!! I cried!! That was 30 years ago, and I still have trouble sitting, especailly now that I have lost 135 pounds!!
Be careful, take care,,and no,,Im really not laughing,,,well,,maybe a ,little,,,,,,,

Topic: RE: Check in and weigh in..
This week weighed in at 192,,thats an all time low. I had the flu for a few days a couple of weeks ago, and that knocked me into losing again. Several friends have asked me if I have lost more weight,,so I guess it must be showing. My size 14s are all loose. I can handle that!!

Topic: RE: What have I been missing?
Glad you found something that worked! There is nothing worse than not being able to sleep, I did that for months before I started taking Melatonin. I was afraid to take the prescripotion stuff, and this works great as well. No morning hangover, wake feeling rested etc.
Now that we have all this energy,,we NEVER have a messy house,,,right????? NOT!! Too many FUN things to do, now that we can do em!!!

Don't you just love it. That's funny. Let him eat crow. Makes you feel good he looks terrible.
It amazes me how people react to me now. Where was I 19 months ago? I'm the same person. Oh well, it's their loss.
keep enjoying those experiences.
