    I've put on 30-ish pounds due to a variety of factors (desk job, new thyroid medication, general malaise) and I'd really like to un-do that.

    I take Synthroid (Hashimoto's). There's an MFP thyroid group at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/770-hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism

    undue influence on mefi. I am pretty sure I had an account here before this, under another email account that has probably now been colonised by spam. I'm starting again, and feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi all!

    Here, I'm the awful nickname: tbot2fat (as in 'tbot is too fat'). On MeFi, I'm LOLAttorney2009.

    After I moved from Newark, NJ, where I had a fourth floor walkup apartment and about a one mile walking commute in NYC, to Nashville, TN, I gained about 45#. Not surprising, really, good southern food, more travel by car than by foot. Yeah....

    Last year (2013), I walked a half marathon and a few 5ks plus did the Couch to 5k program. At the end of the year, I had foot surgery, so I'm just now getting back to walking. I'll do a 5k in April and, hopefully, a half-marathon in November.

    Nice to see a MeFite group on here!

    Oh hey! Somehow I never added to this thread when I joined the group. I'm ocherdraco in both places. Feel free to friend me--I'm always up for more friends on MFP.

    Hey there, everyone! I'm homelystar on MeFi also. tBot, I recently moved to Nashville (or technically, Franklin, 16 miles south) and am sorry to hear there aren't more walking opportunities. It's definitely car-centric out here in the suburbs. There are quite a few cyclists, but they have to ride on the shoulder super-close to passing vehicles.

    I hope spring is bringing good health results to everyone here.

    Hi everyone. I'm synecdoche on MeFi. I've had a MFP account for a long time but have used it only sporadically. I'm looking to make some changes, though. I'm going to see a dietician at the end of next week to get some professional support but it'll be nice to have some friendly people on here, too.

    Hi! I'm travellingcari here & there (mostly green). FOund some of the old MFP posts including one in which this was linked & meandered over. I've used various sites on my 6+ year (mostly successful) WLJ and MFP & WW Online are my two favorites. Look forward to cheering you all on

    Hi! Apparently I am already a member but have never posted? I'm chesty_a_arthur (Abigail IRL) and I'm in perpetual active weight maintenance. I powerlift (not competitively) and run; struggle with adult ADHD and anxiety, which mean that I am even more prone to mindless eating and/or comfort eating than I would be otherwise (I guess). I would love not to have to think about food.
