I'm also looking for more friends. I have an open diary, moderate calorie goals and am working on getting a solid exercise habit going. Please feel free to add me. :smile:

That's frustrating. I've been there. I hope this is something that you are openly discussing and managing with your doctor. Thyroid conditions are nothing to mess around with. The first step is to work with your doctor to get your thyroid hormones into a normal range. Until that's under control, this will be more…

Thanks ninerbuff, that's a relief to hear from a trainer. I'm also planning on giving him a heads-up on it so he knows what I'm up to.

It can be so frustrating to see your weight stay the same when you are putting in work. You mentioned you are eating healthy. That's a great start, but are you weighing and measuring everything you consume? I'm always shocked at how bad I am at estimating or "eyeballing" portions without weight and measuring. Even if the…

Hi there, Please feel free to add me. I lost 100+, regained some, and am back losing those last 30 pounds again. I really struggled with knee pain (felt like broken glass in there when I went up stairs) and ankle pain when I was at my heaviest. It's awesome you're working on getting healthier and losing some weight. That…

Feel free to add me. I eat around 1500 net calories a day.

There has already been a lot of good advice in this thread. Your question also really resonated with me as someone who has lost weight, then regained in a really stressful time in my life. What has been helping me is to care for myself ahead of stress, too, so I'm not stacking the deck against myself. I make sure I get…

I like your new attitude of focusing on the strength of your calves. I'd like to add another voice to the "get wide-calf boots" suggestion. It stakes the stress out of shopping.

As a suggestion for a first get-together, there is a free Zumba class next Monday night at 7 PM at Dance Fit Oregon inside of the Cedar Hills Mall in Beaverton, Oregon. Anyone interested in having an accountability check-in there?

I'm in Oregon, and would also like to meet some folks who are working on becoming healthier.

I was first introduced to my new team member at the work gym... while I was mostly naked. I'm all for a warm welcome, but I wish the person making the introduction had waited 5 minutes.

Thanks for the help, everyone. There were a lot of things I didn't think of, like eggs, sandwiches and PB2. I'm feeling much more prepared now. :)

Thanks for the suggestions. Yep, we've already requested a room with a fridge. It's a small one, though, and I am sharing with 4 people so I have to be conservative with space. ShibaEars, great suggestions. The instant oatmeal tip is a new one for me. I love oatmeal, too, so that's a total win. :)

I second PDS. If you want to get a little faster because you would find that motivating, then you can always look into integrating some speed work every few runs. But, if you're enjoying your runs and are interested in getting faster mostly because you're feeling like you "should" be doing something different, give…

Thanks for the encouragement! "And never say 'the heck with it'" <--- This is especially good advice. :)

It sounds like you do a lot during the day. It sounds like you have already used My Fitness Pal's calorie estimator. There are web tools and apps all over if you search for them. I also like the Mayo Clinic's calculator because I've found it to be more conservative than many others:…
