Will do.

LOL! I haven't had a pair of jeans since before DD was born (15 years ago--which is when the trouble with hypertension and hypothyroidism got started, although not treated until just a few years ago).


Even without weight *loss* you may be losing *volume* (inches).

It does appear that I probably am losing some inches, although I've only lost about three pounds in the past two months.

And the regular walking has got to be good for
your general systems.

I knoew you're right about that. I do have more energy than I did a couple of months ago. (But that's not saying a whole lot, since I barely had the energy to get up out of my chair and go to the bathroom.) I don't know whether to attribute that to the bump up in my Synthroid or not, but I'm sure the exercise has something to do with it too.

I got carried away with my walking routine & started
running -- now I do quite a few road races each year, up to 10 miles a couple of times -- I did a 1/2marathon, but it takes me forever, not sure I'll do it again but.....)

Can't imagine running, much less a marathon. I'm having trouble getting faster than an 18-minute mile!
