    I reside in Eyota, Mn - squint those eyes when your on google maps....It does exist! haha, it's near Rochester "Home of the Mayo Clinic" - Anyone local that knows a great place to Kayak or try Stand up Paddle boarding??
    Have you tried Chester Woods Park? I've heard of people going there to paddle board. I see people on the Mississippi (Lake Pepin) @ Lake City kayaking when the winds are calm all the time.

    I will check out Chester woods, I know they have kayaks for rental, I'll see if they have anything with paddle boards! Thanks!

    Hey, I was born in St. Cloud, we moved a lot but now I'm back in St. Cloud. I visit Minneapolis a lot because I have loads of friends down there from school and when I lived there I met a lot of great friends.

    I'm 24 and I'd like some friends around my age in St. Cloud! I definitely like to go out and have a good time, not sure of the night life here though. I can imagine it's lacking, compared to the cities. :ohwell: But just hanging out is cool too.

    I'm from Woodbury but now live in Bozeman, Montana. If you like hiking, I would recommend taking a trip out to Montana. It's a great workout and you see some beautiful places.

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Laura, I am originally from Rochester but I currently reside in St. Paul. I am a student at St. Catherine's University for Physical Therapy. Today is a gorgeous day, so I'll be heading over to Lake Calhoun for a good run around the lake! I could definitely use some encouragement to stay motivated. I start programs and then within a couple weeks lose interested and motivation. I'm getting married in a year so I need to stay on track this time and get my butt in shape!!

    Hey Laura- I'm in the nursing program at the St. kates mpls site... keep it up, look HOT for your wedding - and forever afterwards!

    Love that there is a Minnesota Group; can't believe I didn't find it sooner!

    Hi - My name is Marianne and live in White Bear Lake, Mn. I've been working on changing my lifestyle since Oct 2010; joined MFP 6 months later. Have learned a great deal from MFP and love the site. My highest weight loss was 78lbs and then I fell off the wagon for a few months. I'm back on track...woohoo!

    Feel free to friend me.

    Hola :) I'm originally from Great Falls, MT but I'm in Maple Grove right now.

    I'm recently single and looking to build a body/lifestyle so at some point I'll be ready to mingle.

    Hopefully I'll find some of my inspiration and motivation through all of you, and, eventually, I hope to help others be inspired to get fit too!

    Hello, my name is Mariel (30). I am from Minneapolis, MN. I am 300 plus lbs and am looking into gastoric bypass surgery. I have a husband and a son who is 6. I want to be a good role model for my son but thats hard when he asks why I am fat. That was a reality check. I have a dietician that I go to once a month and soon will be seeing a bariatric doctor. I am just exhausted all of the time. I get headaches from stressing over it and im on the brink of diabetes. I need as much support as possible.
