Good morning -- Weigh-in this morning is 259.8 (a gain, but we are using a new scale now and everyone says it is 2lbs heavier than the last, so not sure how much of a true gain, but it is a new starting point none-the-less) I can't respond to much as I'm at the office, but... I had a horrible eating weekend. In fact, last…

Hey all... I'm still getting the hang of this, but I'm trying to jump in and keep with the conversations... :happy: Just wanted to say thanks for all the hellos and welcomes. This week has been a bit of a bummer for me.... I haven't been able to keep up with my normal work out routine. It sucks when you get out of wack...…

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa and I am 40 years old. I am married to my very best friend and have 3 girls (18, 17 & 10). I’ve been on MFP for a while, but have not been really active in the communities. I long to have friendships with people that are on the same fitness path that I am – to become healthy. If it’s not too…

I've not done a group challenge before, but I would love to join. I would like to loose12-15 lbs by Thanksgiving. Looking forward to new motivation... Thanks,

Wow.. thank you for sharing your story. I REALLY needed to read this today. Congratulations on your success.

Wow! That's awesome! You look GREAT!

So amazingly inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

sorry to just drop in... but is this a closed group? New and clueless (still)...

Bump.. :)

Yes, my was very swollen... looked like I swollowed a golfball. I'm not sure what T3 is, but mine shrunk by taking synthroid and then the surgery was the best. Have they mentioned surgery at all?

Simiply amazing and very encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hello there! Wow, I'm so sorry you are going through this. When I was about 12 they located a goiter on my thyroid and prescribed me synthroid to help reduce the size of the goiter. It worked for many years and then when I was about 18 the goiter began to swell again. Within a year from that time, I had surgery and had my…

Just catching up... this weekend was tough for me with my friends 40th bday party, but ready to get back to reality. ;) Here's my answers: QOTD #1: What is your favorite kind of exercise and why? Right now I’m loving Zumba! QOTD #2: How did you find MFP, and how do you like it compared to other programs/sites/diets/etc…
