Hey gang, several of my local friends here are looking to plan a local get together so we can spend some time with all the great locals from our area and share successes, setbacks and stories with each other. How many MA/RI members here would be interested in joining if we were able to get it going?

    Let me know what you decide, I'd be happy to help out, offer some classes (I'm a personal trainer), but these could be gratis for my wonderful MFP peeps, or if you like I could hold some kind of a round table discussion. As a trainer, I have some great resources and contacts in the industry. PM me if you want to discuss.

    keep bumping the thread though, or many Massachusetts members won't even see it. If you REALLY want good interest, do a member search for people in MA, then email them and copy the link.

    So, here's what I'm thinking. I can try to find a restaurant that specializes in healthy foods and see if they have some type of a large room or area that we can reserve for a given evening. Then we can meet up there and have a healthy meal, maybe a cocktail or two (for those who are so inclined..me included) and perhaps introduce ourselves, tell a little bit of our stories to help inspire each other and maybe learn a few things. Thoughts on this idea?

    sounds great i'm excited..
    i'm thinking this could really be a great thing for all of us.. idk if others agree but if anyone has before pictures to bring that would be great to see.. and maybe we can take a group before picture and meet again periodically to be with others who hold us "accountable" we can have a progess photo and have a great network of local support filled with people who understand..
    its also a way for us to maybe find workout buddies! thanks for getting this going, im excited can you tell? lol

    That sounds great! Erin- great idea with the group before picture! I think that'll give us some great motivation!

    I think one of the biggest challenges is going to find a place that is fairly centrally located. There's folks from all over RI & MA and now some from other New England states, too. Whew, that's gonna tough to figure out.

    not only will location be a tough one but when will be a tough one too.. anyone have ideas to help our leader out? worst case scenario we can plan a huge pot luck picnic, then we have to worry about weather but thats an idea as well..
