Dadgum, I'm hungry today. - I can't blame it on hormones since I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. (Unless it has to do with weight loss triggering hormones, but my weight is pretty steady right now.)

Fitbits erratic? - My fitbit rarely updates wirelessly. I usually have to plug it in via USB to update, and even then it doesn't always work.

Iron per day? - Just wondering how much iron you consider your daily minimum--if you've been told to track it, or track it on your own.
