cause stomach ulcer.

Just today I learned that I have a growing nodule on the place where
half of my thyroid was removed due to adenoma 10 years ago. The nodule
is hypoechoic and is about 1x1x1 cm.
My grandpa had thyroid cancer in 1969, so it must be hereditary. He

I'd like to lose about 30 pounds. I'm 6'3". I was rail thin as a
child. I have gradually gained over the years. I weighted about 170 at
30, about 180 at 40, about 200 at 45, about 210 at 50, and now, at 60,
I hover around 235. It doesn't seem to matter much what I eat. If I

weight loss - not spam
I am in a little bit of shock.  I just weighted myself and I have lost
20 pounds of a 40 pound objective.   I have never lost weight in my life

going to try remembering it all. But the friends were ...

How can I stay "on the wagon?"  Any advice?  I've worked so hard this
summer.  Last year was all about going out with friends for pitchers of beer
and 10 cent wings EVERY THURSDAY night.  I so don't want to succumb to that
