Health - 27 December 2006

I've been reading stories on how people who knew that they were healthy but specified themselves as "Healthy but not thin." and actually lost weight just because they weren't thin yet healthy. Why can't people realize that healthy is more important than Thin??? Am I the only one that notices this.

I am 5'11 and I weigh 250 lbs. I want to lose 50 lbs. What should my caloric intake be? And do I need to watch my fat gram intake as well? Whats the best way for someone who is a very picky eater and doesnt like salads, most vegetables, and hardly any red meat, to go about losing weight? I need some major help and can't afford a personal trainer or a nutritionist.

I could scrape them off so I took a tooth pick and scraped one off. It looked like a piece of oatmeal and smelled really bad. I had have a fold of tissue in front of each tonsil so I moved one on the bad tonsil and found all these round things like the one I scraped off my tonsil only they were not attached, just laying in there and if I pushed they all popped out. They stunk really bad and tasted funky. What do you think it is? Yuk!!!!
