    Rochester represent!

    I just found out that Rochester is the only place left in the state with a Cici's Pizza. :sad:

    We have a CiCi's pizza in West St Paul.

    Hi, Minnesota.

    I live close to Lakeville and Prior Lake. Formerly Burnsville. Born and raised in southwest Minnesota on a dairy farm. Though I have lived in a bunch of other states, I just couldn't stay away from Minnesota!

    Anybody in Minnesota, I could use some MFP friends to exchange thoughts and support. My wife is a member, too, but hasn't been actively participating recently, mostly because of being busy with four children, two born in the last 15 months. :smile:

    Minnesota friends, feel free to add me if you want. Good luck!

    Hello,

    I am in Maplewood now (suburb of Saint Paul), but will be in White Bear Lake soon. Not originally from here, but marriage will do that to you. Looking forward to losing the weight and keeping it down.

    Hi from another Iron Ranger. Born in Eveleth, raised in Virginia. Moved to Waukegan IL and Newport RI for a little bit. My beautiful daughter "katsten" on the previous page, was born in Newport. Moved back to the Range, then did an obligatory 5 1/2 year stint in the Cities - New Hope. Moved back up here and am here to stay. Why would I move? I am the middle of 5 living generations who only live within 2 miles of each other! My daughter and her beautiful twin sons live 5 blocks away! I AM SO LUCKY / BLESSED!!!! Glad to see there are so many other Minnesotans who want to get healthy!

    Take care everyone and be well!

    Hello! I live in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis and work out almost daily at the Midtown YWCA. My favorite exercise is step aerobics and I'd love to have some new friends to see at the Y.

    Grew up basically the Lake Nokomis area of South Minneapolis. Now live in Eagan. Trying to get into a regular workout routine and don't really have any favorite exercise. Sometimes it is difficult enough just to muster the "want" to exercise. Kind of dumb that it is so difficult to get my motivation up to take this step when I know I will feel GREAT afterwards.

    Hi, I'm from Brooklyn Park. Thanks for starting this group! There isn't much out there for MN.

    I'm just looking for local support and encouragement. FYI - I absolutely HATE exercise and can always find an excuse to not do it. However, if it's fun and we don't call it "exercise", I have more of an open mind :wink:

    Hello Minnesotans! I was born and raised in MN, but I moved to Nebraska a year ago. I grew up on the Iron Range and then moved to St Cloud after high school and lived there for about 15 years. I miss Minnesota so much, it's nice to find this group!
