That's a good sign. That really sounds like you are losing fat and gaining muscle. The same weight of muscle doesn't have as much volume as fat.My pants are getting baggy, otherwise about the same.
I think we are sort of at the same place. I had new blood work done and I am still anaemic. I am taking an iron supplement, eating as many iron rich foods as I can, and craving everything I shouldn't have like ice cream, bacon, etc. I am really hoping my sciatica will let up and I can go to the pool in the morning.I'm going through a spat of wanting to eat everything. Not sure what I am searching for, but....
I do know I am having a problem with anemia right now, but I have an iron supplement and have been eating iron rich foods. Maybe my new lipid medications are working to well and I am searching for fat...
Don't remind me!It really doesn't help that most of my favorite candies are in the stores now for Easter...
I feel like I have been low on iron myself lately. I bought some iron supplements at the store & it has helped some w my energy levels. You mentioned you were eating iron rich foods. What kinds of foods? I know beef 7 egg yolks are high in iron but I cannot tolerate either very well. I have been trying to eat more spinach, fresh broccoli & beans. I would be very interested to hear any other options.I'm going through a spat of wanting to eat everything. Not sure what I am searching for, but....

Thank you very much for the support, I very much appreciate it!That's a good sign. That really sounds like you are losing fat and gaining muscle. The same weight of muscle doesn't have as much volume as fat.
I spendt another 2 hours in the gym today. I have been exercising 5-6 days a week four the past 2.5 weeks. I feel like my eating hasn't been real bad. I have lost NO weight! It's getting frustrating!!!

The PA who works for my GI doctor said we only absorb 4% of the iron in supplements, which is why I get infusions.
