Oh purplemem! You poor thing. You could put a little oil of oregano on the scab on your knee. It is a wonderful healer, and of course, totally natural. I am so proud of you that you are not giving up. Did you slip on ice? I don't think I've ever seen such big bruises.

But, their electronic scale registered 5 lbs less than my old dial scale. So now I don't know what I weigh. Think I should get a new scale?? I'd sure like to go with their numbers!

You don't need a new scale just deduct the 5 lbs from your old scale when you weigh yourself. Why waste the money on a new one???

I hope you aren't paying for your medical care and that the store is. They were at fault. I hope you feel better soon. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Keep it up, you are all doing great, even when you think you are not. We are all doing better than we were several weeks ago, right?

I am going to visit my cousin today and she told me she had home made pecan pie when I get there if I want, as she knows I'm dieting. So I looked up the calories and for 1/8 of the pie it was 503 calories!! I will be passing on this offer for sure. Before I started dieting I would have had 2 or 3 pieces of pie in a day and I am amazed to think of the calories I was consuming in one day. No wonder I am here with 30 lbs more to go. Today for me it's about making right choices! Have a nice day girls.
