    I'm Faith. i have lived in Logansport for the past (gasp) Ten years. Before that i am originally from central florida.

    I have always floated around the 140-150 weight (but definately not an athletic shape, all flab here) When i was 22 i ballooned up to 185 pounds and panic set in one day. so, i spent the next year doing a low carb ( 20 a day) diet, and exercising at Curves along with rollerblading an hour after Curves. I managed to work my way down to 135.

    Flash forward 5 years and i quit smoking. eat eat eat eat eat. I think i used it as my excuse to be a slobbo and not move. Of course this type of lifestyle is depressing, so, genious idea of going on anti-depressants. I believe that taking anti depressants added to my weight gain, because it made me not give a crap what i looked like, plus i was hungry constantly. I stayed on the Anti-depressants for a year and a half, until i realised that i do not need the pills and they were doing more damage than good. So I stopped taking the anti depressants, hoping that my motivation would return. It didnt happen.

    Now a year later i get on the scale and i weigh 200 pounds. I believe i have finally gotten to the point that i am completely disgusted with myself and realise that if i dont do something now then i will be 250,300,350 before i know it. So, now the diet has begun again, i started about 20 days ago and have been doing the jillian michaels 30 day shred. I have stayed pretty consistant in doing the exercises, but i skip sat and sun.

    I do not have children, so i have no excuse for not exercising, it's not like my schedule is busy by any means. it's just hard to keep the motivation up sometimes, which you ALL know :)

    Okay i know that was long sorry :)

    Awesome to have the groups now!

    Hello Everyone! Another Region Rat here! : ) My name is Monica and I live in Hobart (Northwest Indiana). Can't wait to chat with you all and see what we can do together!!

    I gained 60 pounds in the last 5 years... let's just say I was eating my way out of my personal life. I've lost 30 pounds since January 4th. Had a 10ish pound set back but am on my way to my goal again!

    Glad to meet all of you. Best Wishes to Everyone! Monica ; )

    Hello fellow Hoosiers! I'm Amy, single mom of a 9 yr-old girl and a 6 yr-old boy. We live in Southern Indiana, east of Evansville, in a tiny town called Chrisney. I was on MFP for a bit last year but fell away, but I re-joined with my friend Jamie, she's truly an inspiration. Going slow so far, 21 lbs down, but slow and steady wins the race, right? Hope so!

    I'm Matt. I grew up in Muncie and currently reside in Fishers. I'm married with 4 kids.

    I joined MFP in March of 2010. I hit my goal weight in November of 2010 and have been maintaining ever since.

    I completed 3 half marathons over the past year or so and am now working toward a full marathon in April and a half - ironman triatholon in September. At this point I am a certified fitness freak having come a LONG way from the fat guy I had let myself become. I'm a happier and healthier person for it.
