Michelle, I'm sorry to hear about your MIL's health - that has to be very stressful to deal with, and having your mom in surgery as well. Hang in there and take care of yourself.
andrew, sorry to hear of your college mate as well, but that's good it's spurred you on to some positive changes. I'm really impressed with your BF%! I've used the Navy calc as well and think I measure up about 25%.
As others have said, upping your calories is pretty easy, just add some nuts and avocado in when you need to - good fats there as well. And grats on the good fitting jeans!
Shannon, hope your pup is feeling more comfortable these days at least. How old is he?

Zumba! I think you've done great at staying right around 150 through all the stresses you've had in the past several months - you're doing all right!
MrsTryingAgain, no yelling is coming at you from this corner - I too went for way too long without doctor care due to the same reasons and got really, really run down - dangerously so. I'm sure you'll be feeling WAY better once you get your issues dealt with.
And thanks for the support. I am trying to be watchful of myself; I just keep thinking how many years I was in denial about my health and watched myself gaining and gaining. I do not ever want to fall into that pit again!
