Yeah, I feel pretty good. My thyroid is OK. My ribs don't stick out or anything so I guess that's good. I've had mono, and the flu a while back though and I seem to lose weight easily when stressed out and don't eat much.

I can try! I'll buy 1% milk instead of skim next time....ugh, processed foods. All those chemicals and artificial preservatives and hormones....
