    Cool - I may actually start posting on the forums again if this group doesn't represent the nonsensical headache that is the main forum.

    Haha, I hope so. And you don't have to worry about the nonsensical headache around here. The mods on the main forum are too concerned about curse words and spam. I'd like this place to be more concerned about meaningful and factual conversation and support.

    Well if you want to discuss any specifics, just fire up a new thread and let's do some investigating.

    Hmmm... I'm not really sure. I'm not that computer savvy. I suppose you could save the homepage of the group as one of your favorites in your web browser. But I doubt there's a way to get to it easily within the MFP platform. When you select community, you can go to either the message board or groups. Click groups and all the groups you're subscribed to, including this one, will show up.

    I'm sending out a lot of invitations on my friends list. Please say hello when you get here and offer some thoughts or ideas about what you'd like to see in this community.

    Hi there Stroutman,

    I am not on your friends list and didn't receive an invitation to the group. I just happened to come across it this morning. I have seen some of your posts and liked your no nonsense approach and your wealth of knowledge that you are kind enough to share on here.

    I hope to learn a lot here as i'm a relative newbie and haven't really settled on a calorie count that works for me yet. I need to learn a lot about health and fitness and incorporate it in my daily life more than I ever have before. I'm 62 now but it's never too late!

    Thanks for the invite Steve! I think this group has got the potential to help and inform a LOT of people. :drinker:

    With that being said I'm hoping that you start an informative thread or sticky on plateaus and people battling an inability to lose weight due to thyroid issues.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely consider doing that. Are you medicated for your thyroid issues?
