Beware Kroger Frozen Vegetables!
Specifically, the serving/content sizes. One bag of Brussels sprouts stated in the nutrition information, that there were four servings per container and a serving size was ten sprouts. That means 40 sprouts per container, right? My husband cooked two bags. That would equal 80 sprouts. When he served them, there were only…

On Tuesday, October 13th, I fell and broke my shoulder.
Technically, it was the head of my left humerus. My left knee had been giving me trouble for the previous seven days, causing me to fall three times before then. The EMTs had to take me in an ambulance to the hospital. I am in an abductor splint and a leg brace. I got home yesterday after six days of hospital food, with no…

The Biggest Loser
I saw the first episode of Season Eight last night to get a little motivation, I thought. I was so shocked! Why does Jill have to scream and cuss at people? That's not motivation, that's abuse! Don't heavy people have enough low self-esteem already?

I just got out of the hospital...
I went in with chest pain and I had to have a cardiac catheter. It is time for me to get serious! I had two 25% blockages. The doctor says that is not too bad, but I certainly don't want it to get any worse! I am now on a low-cholesterol, low-fat, low-sodium diet. I lost my mother in law two months ago to a sudden heart…

I'm in a knee brace!
And it HURTS! My nurse practitioner thinks it's water on the knee. and I am in a $60.00 knee brace and using a cane. I have to keep it elevated. and take steroids. Exercise is totally out of the question. And yes, my weight is an issue! This sucks!

When I was in college.... for you, zenmama!
Back in the early nineties I was working on my social work degree. I went back to school when my fourth child was two weeks old, and it was rough. The worst spot was during finals in my third year. We had "dyads" where we each counselled another student for a certain number of hours a week. I had three classes on Monday,…

Why do I crave sweets and fat when I have a headache?
I woke up with a doozy, and I know where all the candy is hidden! Well, except for a charity candy bar I bought to help the cub scouts. I know it's around here somewhere. Why do I want it now? I've been so good!

Ok, what is a bump and what is a sticky?
I keep seeing them mentioned and I don't know what they are.

I can't get on here at work anymore!
Everytime I do, I get to reading and posting, and I keep going over my break times! They are very strict here, and the computer keeps track down to a tenth second! I hope I get my home computer back soon! Love you all! Patti :flowerforyou:

At least I got some exercise... and adventure!
Well, a few folks posted comments when I said i didn't want to exercise... One even gave me a crybaby face! So, last week the car had a flat. I live almost exactly a mile from my job as the crow flies, but more like a mile and a half by the road. I had to take a cab to work, because time was of the essence, but decided to…

I've got GERD!
I called my doc from work Friday because everytime I swallow the first bite of anything at all, my chest feels like I've been munching lit charcoal briquettes. He sent me straight to the ER, where I had an EKG, X-rays, the works. Of course, he was thinking heart attack, and I was thinking I waited too long to try and get…

I'm baaaack!
Did anybody miss me? Our computer is still in the shop but my son rigged up his laptop and I opened a trial dial-up account, so at least I can stay in touch! I've lost a full ten pounds since I started on January 2nd, but the leftover Chistmas chocolate, cookies, and candy canes were making me crazy! Soooo, I made the…

Computer down
Sorry, everyone, but I will have to put my computer in the shop for awhile. I won't be able to post or read your comments unless I can get to the library. Welcome to all the newbies and thanks to everyone else for their support and advice. Gotta go before it crashes again!:sad: :cry: :brokenheart:

Is exercise worth it?
When I exercise, the calories burnt are so little! What is the point? I don't get a rush, I feel worse than before, and it takes time away from my family. Watching what I eat is stressful, but adding exercise just doesn't feel right!

Hi, everyone!
I started January 2nd, and today is the 5th. I have lost 2.4 pounds so far. I'm hoping I can keep going this time, but it is harder after 50! I'm so glad we have the support here at myfitnesspal. It does everything the high-priced sites do for free!
