So I think the best way for me to lose weight is on my own. I can't stick to set diets and this way I can weasel in some fav foods. I did it before but ... Then slacked for years I guess lol I'll add in some fun exercise and off I go (good thing I have almost 2yrs haha)
Anyway any nutritional advice out there? Typically I fall short on iron (nothing has a lot and it doesn't add up!) any other ideas for easy to pack, easy to make foods?
TIA (funny story I have a bm named tia and for a while I thought one person was putting this on her posts bc it was her name... Too many to remember!)

Definitely this!! I was using it (although I totally went off track) and lost a lot of weight and it was easy. I have to start it back up again!

Re: Diets?
It's basically a way to keep track of your intake of fats, protein and calories (if I remember correctly). You type in any food or recipe and it calculates what you have consumed in a day. Depending on how much weight you want to lose/your desired intake, it will tell you if you are on target, under, or over your intake for the day. It also incorporates exercise so you can see how much you are burning. You usually weigh in once a week and it tracks your progress.
