Hi fellow PNWers! I'm in Oregon just outside of Eugene. I've lived in the PNW all my life...my husband and I grew up near the base of White Pass Ski Resort. I've been enjoying some Spring Sunshine this week. Even had a picnic with my kiddos for lunch this afternoon. Light sweatshirts were needed, of course, but we sure enjoyed ourselves0

Just found this this little thread
) I'm Starla- from Kirkland. Nice to see so many from the area together in one thread! I've been on MFP for about two months and LOVE IT! Slightly addicted actually. I must log on like 10-15 times a day while at my desk at work. haha. My loss journey's been SLOWWWWW but steady. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change dang it! I hate when folks i know ask how my "diet" is going. Anyways, I got 40 pound overweight from too many years since high school being lazy and eating bad! I'm ready to get healthy and fit before I get to my 30's (i'm 27). In march I started out exercising every other day, sticking to the MFP food settings for the most part and now I exercise 5 days a week about 45 mins a day and net around 1200-1400 cals depending on the day. Working slowly but surely!! MFP has helped A TOOONNNN! So much support.
Oh, and of course as a PNW-erner I can't help but mention the weather. It's freakin gorgeous!!! Too bad I'm at work during the day and missing most of it (work at UWMC so I don't even have windows to enjoy looking out at it!( ) but let's all cross our fingers that it'll hold out to the weekend!
You don't by chance work on/with Epic do you? I almost took a job there.
Yuo're talking about the program Epic, right? Yeah I use it everyday all day- it's a nice little program but within the next year or so I hear we're transitioning to Epicare- much better.0 -
I have lived in the vancouver~camas~washougal aera for the last 30 years,and livin the long haul trucker life we don't come home from Dec- March or when we can get through the passes with out baving to chain up. I have found the sun does shine through winter in other places....lol it does !0

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm an application analyst and that's the software I worked with and that I'm certified in.0 -

Hi everybody! I'm in Seattle, feel free to add me. I'm trying to make some workout friends!0

Bothell/Kenmore/Finn Hill soon to be annexed into Kirkland. LOL
I train with Z-Health maneuvers, Russian Kettlebells, sprinting, as well as recreational hiking/swimming. Would love to gather a bunch of MFP folk up for a healthy potluck and some walks/hikes.
Also I am a mom to a future triathlete who won't turn 6 till September. Could use some playdates for kid athletes.0 -
Hi everyone! I work in Seattle and live west of Seattle. I am a born and bred PNW girl, went to WSU in Pullman (GO COUGS!) and spent nine months in Boise before returning to the Seattle area. I
the Pacific Northwest (but wish the sun would show up for summer already...)

ResilientWoman, I was just drooling over the coconut candy recipe you posted over in the coconut oil thread! I grew up in Kirkland (Jr. High on Finn Hill, graduated Juanita). Now I'm more north but I had to comment.
I'm sure hoping the weatherman is right and this weekend is nice! Rain was not what I wanted to see today!0 -

I've been doing it often, even when the weather isn't exactly optimal, but today was beautiful and made me relish the experience.

Hey everyone another Pacific Northwestern-er here
I am just west of Salem Oregon, about 30 minutes from Lincoln City.0 -
Just moved from Graham/Eatonville to Renton a few months ago. I already miss the country! Fireworks banned in Renton. WAAAAAA!! What's a fourth without them. Fourth of Julivars is so much fun but I just can't stay up that late and drive home. I used to go every year. So...still trying to decide what to do for the 4th : ) and I had best get to bed! Long day at costco and Home Depot. The flowers are out! Hoooray!0

I'd come and I'd spread the word. You might want to talk to Belton and Rommel, co-owners of Element 5 Fitness in Kirkland. They're crew is an awesome bunch and maybe you could post something there since it's a fundraiser.0 -

I might do something like that. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month-- might be a good time to do it and you could possibly get a lot of people to come. Where would the money go to?0 -
Also from the PNW - Auburn, WA.
Rain or shine, I don't workout outside too much, sans long walks and bike rides. And the occasional hike. I like the gym (well, like/hate). I recently took up Zumba, even though it's a slow start. I have an amazing personal trainer so if you're in the area and need one, I know where to send you!
Oh, I'm a Coug, too!0 -

I will totally check. Zumba is working with the Susan G. Komen foundation - 30% of the clothing (Party in Pink) goes to Susan G. Komen and a minimum of 75% of the ticket sales to the Zumbathon. the other 25% to be used for expenses or it can all be donated but that is up to the instructor doing the Zumbathon.
I need to pick a date - was checking into the YMCA facility in Woodinville but maybe I can give the Element 5 a buzz too. Thanks! I'll let you know!0
