Volusia County support
Looks like it's been a while since any Volusia County peeps shouted out. I live in Holly Hill, work in DeLand. Add me if you live in the VC area even if just for diet/healthy eating support. I need all the help I can get! I have a YMCA membership and would love to find a workout pal for either the Ormond Beach or DeLand…

Bathing Suit Shopping! UGH!
Bathing Suit Shopping When I was a child in the 1950s, the bathing suit for the mature figure was-boned, trussed and reinforced, not so much sewn as engineered.

Looking for friends that lift
I'm trying to shed 80 lbs that I gained over the last 3 years (thyroid tumor and removal last year), and about 20 that I put on slowly over the 20 years before that.

New to MFP in St. Augustine, FL
I'm a 39 yo mom with about 100 lbs to lose after a year with a non-functioning thyroid. I was eating like a bird but gaining as much as 1-2 lb a week because I had NO metabolism and was too weak and tired to go out much. I had the thyroid totally removed last April and thought the weight would come back off naturally, but…
