ScottishRedHeather

Hi group,

My name is Heather, and I'm a military brat, so I moved all over. Have lived most of my life in Washington, though, so it's home. Used to be up in Seattle, then Lakewood, now Enumclaw (near Auburn). Nice to meet you all!

Helloooo... Pam here. Decided I need to go outside of my friends for fitness motivation and eating right... Seattlites Unite! I've got the tools to do what I need, it'd just be nice to have people that have the same fitness/eating habit goals

Hello fellow Pacific Northwest neighbors!
I just signed up onto this site to get back into a healthier lifestyle. I take my family hiking as much as I can in metro areas and primarily Columbia Gorge trails along the historic highway. I love that area! It's nice to meet everyone.
Sincerely, Jessy

MiqGallegos

Hey. I live in Atlanta now but born in West Seattle, raised in Carnation, WA, HS in Mountlake Terrace, and then lived in Seattle (Lake City and on The Hill) after HS. Moved out in 2004 but it will ALWAYS be home and where my happiest memories come from. When I'm happy I eat less so I figured I would join the group!

Add me if you like.

I live in Battle Ground, WA with my family and an assortment of pets, computers and underutilized exercise equipment.

I've been on MFP for almost two months and have learned a lot from the message boards and especially the people on my friends list. I can't believe how helpful people have been here. Nice to meet you all.

Sie_Con

Hello everyone!

I'm Sierra, I'm 22, raised in Portland and moving back in a few weeks. I'm trying to lose about 100lbs and I've just started about 6 weeks ago. My short term goal is 20 lbs before I move, then my next goal will be 214 (no longer obese), which will be about 60 more pounds away. I'd love local friends or support. :happy:

julistehr

Hi all,

I live in Spokane and am back at MFP once again. Looking for any support out there, maybe here in my backyard. I want to lose 60 pounds, which completely overwhelms me. Hoping to find some inspiration here:)

Hi Everyone!

I'm from Tri-Cities! It's so dry here and not as green as the other parts of PNW that I love so much...trying to get out and enjoy the river more though. Look forward to being in this group!

Hello group! I live in Spokane. I love the winters and the fact we get 4 seasons. Back to MFP after being gone for a year. I know I do better when I hold myself accountable for what I allow to enter my trap and MFP helps me do that. :happy: So back to it. I need to take care of me so I can run and play with my family. Hope you all are having a great day!

VKanam

Hi PNWers!

I'm a 34yr old living in Kirkland, WA. I moved here from India a few years back, and I totally love the PNW.

I've been dealing with weight all my life, and I've gone through weight loss once earlier and held it off. I started putting on weight again when I moved to the US, and finally decided to do something about it.

I started recently on MFP, and I absolutely LOVE it! I also love making new friends. Feel free to add me - I login daily, and my dairy is open. And I'm also open to meet-ups.

I am 31 y/o - born and raised WA! Grew up in the MLT/Lynnwood area (Graduated from Meadowdale - last of the Chiefs, 2001!)

Living in Arlington with two beautiful babies and a loving husband (who graduated from Edmonds Woodway).

I hope to connect with some neighboring MFP's to help support me as I begin my Gastric Bypass journey :-)

kcalabama

Hey!
I'm Kelley and live in Kirkland. I was a member of MFP back in Virginia and sort of fell off the bandwagon when I moved here from keeping everything written down. Luckily I didn't add a bunch of weight but I didn't lose either.

Now I'm back on track and going down in weight again.
