    I live right in central Illinois! I am right with you. I lost my job a couple of months ago and gained about 10lbs back that I had lost. Its hard. I am more than willing to help with anything you need help with.. even if you just need to scream! :)

    Hey there, I know you said Midwest, but I'd like to reach out to you all the way over from New York! If it helps, I do plan on moving to Chicago in the near future, so I guess I'd be a soon-to-be Midwesterner? Haha feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    I'm from Nebraska, and I always find it interesting to see who all considers themselves part of the Midwest... One of those fluid definitions ;)

    Omaha! I like my circuit training vids and being generally annoying on my own page but I'm always look for friends in for the long haul. Especially since I like to suddenly drop off the face of the Earth every so often. *cough* Sorry about that... I do always come back though. :)

    I'm 37 and in Joplin, MO so nowhere near Indiana really...but still Midwestern!

    I just wanna echo others who have been unemployed and losing weight. I was unemployed last March when I first joined MFP and for me the nervousness of not knowing how long my savings would need to last really helped me stay out of restaurants and keep me on the straight-and-narrow when it came to grocery shopping. Lots of Aldi trips with produce and bare minimum basics actually helped me kick this whole thing off :-)
