I read it in the books of N.  Worm, a German nutrition scientist. It was something about the long-chained fatty acids and the brain development, and that vegetarian had babies slightly retarded, because the lack of those special fatty acids affected the fetus's brain development. 

It doesn't mean vegetarian can't have healthy babies, sorry, that was misleading. Usually vegetarians take great care for their health and their family and are knowledgeable about their compensational needs, so no problem here. I guess not every vegetarian is that knowledgeable though.

 Yes.  When you look up a food, find the "Report Bad Grade" link right under the large letter grade.  Click on that and make your comments. 

Wow, how could I not see that. Thanks a lot, Clairelaine! I reported it.

Is there a link to report mistakes in the database? There is just no way an apple can have the same amount of iron as red meat. Where does the data come from, anyway?

Lose it is only available in the US. There are others, like ShapeUp, unfortunately not free. But its good enough for me. I haven't tested any other similar apps.

thanks for sharing your story. I was surprised myself, I wasn't sure whether the deadlifts were such a good thing for my back. But boy, I had so much sore muscles from the lunges! I am looking forward to how I feel in the next week. Hopefully stronger.

ok, I jogged/walked again, but not more than 10 minutes. My hip likes that much better. I have to break off the c25k plan and do my own revised plan. *scratching my head.

We already have a thread discussing it here:http://caloriecount.about.com/beginning-couch -k-ft144860-4

Welcome!

Crap I've just realised that 35" only gets you out of the high risk group, to be in the low risk group you have to be under 31". I really hope I was measuring in the wrong place, I didn't really want to lose that much more.

it's frustrating, isn't it.

I got a bit confused by the text: that below 35 could be low risk, if waist circ. is low. I see this table:

 http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/ obesity/lose_wt/bmi_dis.htm

and I see BMI<30 and Waist circ. <35'' equals very high risk. :-(

well, I manage only one set as well. So you are not alone. 

I thought maybe after a while I can do more, it's wait and see.

ok, I have done week 5 day 1 without modification, albeit a bit slowlier. No stupid belly aches this time! I feel much better.

oops, my app is called Trails not iTrails. So iTrails is better than Trail?

For Hiking is Trails good enough, just not for jogging.

Yeah, I find that exercising aggravates my cramps. Don't push yourself if you're in too much pain! that's your body's way of telling you to STOP.

I second that!

hmm. I have to read more info on this. thanks for the article.

At the gym I was put on those machines, and after a while, I could do a little bit of free 2 weight training with max 6lbs barbell. Was that all wrong? The article is saying the machine is not for women, why?

hypothyroidism? That what I thought I had too. But my tiredness was connected with iron deficiency. Good luck at the doctor's!

Well, there could be other causes than exercise for your tiredness, for example iron deficiency and such. But to check this you have to go to your doctor and have your blood tested.
