Injured Runner, Worried about Weight Gain
Just looking for some general support or hopefully shared experiences here. Hopefully this is the right sub-forum for this. I’m in full-on pity party mode…I know it’s not the end of the world, but I’m worried and I guess I’m in need of a little advice. I’ve maintained a 100-lb weight loss for two years. Still have about 15…

How does diet influence possible rheumatoid arthritis/inflammation?
Hi, I'm hoping to get some feedback to this question from others who either have RA or have dealt with some of the issues I'm about to describe. First of all, I have been tested for RA and have been told I do not have it, which is great, but I still seem to have the symptoms of it. I'm talking about randomly swollen,…

Getting Restarted
Hi there, Getting restarted here. I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary on MFP, but have been sidetracked and inactive (both on here and in real life) for the last few months. Life with my new baby has been very challenging...she was born in November, and (silly me) I thought I had the whole new Mom thing "in the…

Body Comp Analysis--Where/how to have it done?
In a few months I'd like to have an accurate body composition analysis done, and then go back again at some future point (maybe 6 months?) to have it re-tested to measure my progress. (The reason I'm waiting is that I'm currently pregnant, so I figure I should give some time for my body to get back to "normal" before…

Thyroid Med Question
This is for all of you hypothyroid folks out there. :) Just wondering if, after I've lost a significant amount of weight thru my current diet/exercise regimen, I might be able to "reverse" my hypothyroidism. When I was diagnosed ~2 years ago, I was told I'd be on Synthroid for the rest of my life, but didn't get any…

Getting Over Stress Fractures
Hello there, Any other injury-prone runners out there? I'm curious about anyone else's experience with dealing with not only preventing this type of injury, but also (and I know this sounds weird) psychologically getting over the fact that it happened. A little background: I am a former runner, and I loved mid-distance…

Former runner here, looking to return to fitness!
Hi there! I just joined MFP to help me get my health back on track, and I want very much to make "friends" with some like-minded folks! I used to run 8 miles a day, 4 or 5 days a week, only a few years ago, and being able to run like that was something I very much took for granted. Then, injuries and other issues (like…
