    Hello everyone! My name is Deborah and I live in NW Indiana - work in Chicago. I have reached middle age :) and am feeling the spread a bit - need to lose a few pounds, but just as important, I need to become active and fit. Was hoping to meet folks from the area and others who are working toward a goal too. Nice to meet you!

    Hi all,

    I am Tami, born and raised in NW Indiana ( Laporte ). I am 46, married, have 3 sons; 27, 25, & 21 and 2 granddaughters, 22 months and 3 months. I just joined MFP a few days ago. I really like this site and plan on using it along with WW, (not sure if I'll go to meetings or just do it on my own.)

    3 years ago I lost 80 lbs in 10 months, on my own, but by following the WW plan and working out everyday. I needed to lose about 115-120 lbs total. I mostly did walking aerobics, Leslie Sansone, shes awesome! But i did other things too.

    Well I have since gained it all back. After going to my doctor in october, my labs were elevated for triglycerides and blood sugar. Doctor says I have pre diabetes.

    Well that, along with not feeling healthy, and none of my clothes fitting anymore. (I gave all my big girl clothes away when I lost all that weight) I am ready to do what I need to do to feel better!

    I hope to make some new friends here. Glad to Meet so many fellow Hoosiers!

    Hi all I'm Laura. Im originally from Michigan but moved here to Indiana about a year ago. Needless to say its been a bit lonely and frustrating down here in Martinsville and that motivation has wavered since fall. I have one daughter who just turned 8 and a wonderfully supportive fience who I am marrying this September.

    Hi, my name is Donna, born and raised in Crown Point, and currently live in Munster. Married, mother of 4 teenagers. Finally realizing that I need to take better care of myself. Had high blood pressure, overweight, and just feeling tired all the time. Recently joined Charter Fitness and absolutely love going to the gym every day after work to de-stress. Tracking my food thru Loseit and recently bought a Fitbit to track my activity and realized that I needed the Premium version of Lose It to sync with FItbit. I did some research and found that Fitbit syncs with MFP, so here I am back after a few months and ready to be 46 and Fabulous ! Would love some friends to help me on my journey.

    Hi, I'm Brenda. I grew up on farms and was always active doing things outside with the animals. I used to live around the Lebanon, IN area, but recently have moved SW of Indy to Mooresville area. I don't know anyone around here so I stay home and don't get out much. I have my BF and my kids that live with me. Kids are 17 and 19. My BF and I usually work opposite shifts, so it isn't that great for us doing anything. I haven't started any kind of diet or exercise yet. Thought about trying the Atkins again. I had lost 10 #'s in 2 weeks probably 10 years ago. But not sure yet what all is out there. Will see....
