My other posts were lost somehow so anyway here is my brief story.
Always a larger stocky kid but was healthy and active
Undiagnosed thyroid condition for 20+ years
Surgery removed my 1.5lb baby goiter
Synthroid caused severe muscle wasting to the point I couldn't walk and was housebound for over a year
Medical concerns started to mount
Weight over 534lbs
Specialist has heart to heart saying he doesn't think I'll be around in 5 years
Decide to stop making excuses
Gets put on testosterone injections to rebuild muscle
Long slow road
MFP clicks for me counting calories is logical and makes sense.
Lost weight - now 386lbs
Happier
More active
Determined to keep going!
Goal is 250

You have a great support around you, from what it looks like in the photo. I hope you keep this up. You look immensely happier. So many obstacles. Glad your physician had a heart to heart talk and you listened.0

It's made from wood that was reclaimed from a Chinese junk fishing trawler that sank in a river in China about 100 years ago. They salvaged it and made tables out of the wood
