    Hey everyone. I'm another region rat! I have lost 25 pounds on weightwatchers online. I still have 20 to go, but got tired of paying for results. Hopefully we can get through this journey together. I have 3 children and I don't want them to go through the weight struggles I have gone through.

    Hi I'm Chris!
    I live in the Northern part of the state in the tiny town of Millersburg which is east of S.Bend and north of Ft.Wayne. I have lost my last 15 pounds here in the last few months, I have lost a total of 74 pounds since I started this in journey January of 2009. I'm currently maintaining & working on toning but thinking I might want to lose a few more pounds. I have 2 teenagers who keep my husband & I very busy with all their activities. All 4 of us are runners & I'm trying to decide which marathon I want to run next year, I have ran a few 5k's & 2 half-marathons.
    Looking forward to getting to know some more Hoosiers!!

    Hello fellow Hoosiers!

    I'm originally from Illinois, went to Ball State and now I teach northeast of Indianapolis. I've lost a total of 57 pounds, 37 of those with MFP. I've done it through Zumba, KettleWorx and currently TurboFire. I also had to learn to eat enough food. I learned through logging on MFP that I wasn't eating enough - very eye opening.

    I'm married to a National Guardsman who is also an Iraq War veteran and we have a 9 y/o daughter.

    I'm happy to be a part of this group!

    Hello!

    I am Jennifer...30 year old mother of 2 boys. I live south of Indy. I am a college instructor and am also working on my doctorate degree.

    I have lost the weight twice on my own...120 lbs the first time using a nutritionist....had a DVT and PE and started to regain. Second time I lost 130 lbs on weight watchers...then I had more discs go out in my back. I have 10 herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and severe fibromyalgia. In August I had the lapband surgery to help me finally take the weight off and keep it off. So far, so good! It is still a lot of work and tracking and making good choices etc. I have lost 50 lbs in the past 3 months. I use MFP to track. Just checking out the groups!

    Hi everyone my name is Jason or Jay whatever you prefer to recognize me as. I live in NW Indiana about 40 minutes of so from Chicago. I don't have any children (that I know of), I know bad joke right lol. I have a new addiction and it is working out, I like the feeling when I have completed my exercise for the day and look forward to it each day and not like it's something I just have to get out of the way like washing clothes or chores. Please feel free to add me here and if you're in NW Indiana and workout at charter fitness maybe we will run into each other.

    Hi,my name is Brekke. I've been living in Indiana my whole life and I have struggling with weight-loss for my entire life. I'm 21yrs old and I got up to 296lbs last winter. I have lost 66lbs since then and am struggling to get lower than 230. I was sitting around a couple days ago and my friend told me about this website so I thought I'd give it a try and I'm hoping to meet a lot of people to support me, as well as them, in there journey of dropping the lbs.

    Hi everyone! My name is Heather and I am 28 years old. I am married and have a 4 year old son. I am originally from Mishawaka, IN but moved to Carmel, IN 3 years ago and this past June we built a home in Noblesville.

    I lost over 70lbs on WW last year and hit my goal weight on December 10, 2010. Over the past year I have gained about 7lbs back and have gotten off track with my running. I joined MFP to get back to my goal weight and stick with it. I have completed 1 half marathon and 3 5Ks this year. I am hoping to do 2 half marathons in 2012 so I need to get back into the training.

    What do you know? I didn't even know there was such a group until today.

    Anyway, I'm originally from the south side of Indy, lived away for several years while in the Navy but came back. Now I live on the west side of Indy.

    I'm 40 lbs down from my starting point and just reached my first goal after 4 months. Twenty-five more to go.

    Hi,
    I'm Angie- born and raised in Indianapolis. I'm 39, married with 3 kids. I started MFP about a year ago, but only recently started using the community message boards and groups. I'm about 3 pounds from my goal weight. I didn't start regularly exercising until June of this year when I bought a Groupon for Indy Boot camps. I did 2 rounds of that, then I completed P90X, and now I'm doing ChaLean Extreme.

    Hi, I'm Debbie...

    Originally from Ohio, but got married and ended up in Fort Wayne.

    I'm 48, no kids (unless you count the spoiled fuzzy kid aka dog). I'm currently unemployed due to work moving to Texas in 2009. I'm sort of looking for a job and sort of not looking for a job.

    I started MFP a couple weeks ago and I'm currently doing my exercises with my Wii Fit Plus, but when spring gets here going to start training for a 4 mile walk/run in the fall.

    :happy:
