I've since read the labels more carefully and realized that the extra stuff aimed at women in the women's multivitamins (iron, folic acid, vitamin D, calcium) don't get into the weight loss ones.<BR/><BR/>I'm a luddite. No PDA here. I actually WRITE in a little calendar book thing! With a pencil or pen! (not a stylus!) But the 8 week thing is absolutly true, and I should be able to do that with my paper calendar just fine!

Go figure. I finally had to ask them to stop calling me, though, after about the 4th time I went in and got my finger stuck and couldn't give blood. I'd like to try pheresis some time, too, after I have eaten lots of iron pills.<BR/><BR/>56 days is of course 8 weeks. Just stick it in the PDA while you're waiting with your cookies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1158256740637621832006-09-14T10:59:00.000-07:002006-09-14T10:59:00.000-07:00Aaagh...I hate it when you get a phone word/phrase...Aaagh...I hate it when you get a phone word/phrase instead of a phone number.wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916774745613441512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-1158248312146830082006-09-14T08:38:00.000-07:002006-09-14T08:38:00.000-07:00I'm sad that I can't give blood anymore.
