    Hello! I live on the east side of Columbus! I'm originally from northern Ontario, Canada, but I've lived in Columbus about 13 years. Great city we have here! :)

    I like to get people together for MFP meetups now and then. It's great to get some like-minded people together to share triumphs and trials. Msg me for info about the next meeting if you think you'd like to join us. The more the merrier!

    Hi all, I'm Kirsten. I'm born & raised inColumbus. Currently living on the North side of town. I "escaped" for a few years for high school (Exeter, NH) & college (Santa Barbara, CA), but I'm here to stay, at least until the hubby gets a job somewhere warm;)

    I'm all in to support/get support. Weight issues are so much more than just food, so I hope we can help each other out.

    I dated someone in Amelia. I know how you feel. I moved out of ohio for a year and a half and all I wanted to do was go back. I couldnt wait to leave, but then couldnt wait to get back.

    I'm Azelle (pronounced A-Zelle)...Born and raised in Cincinnati...Married to a man who loves to cook but wants everything to be fried and cooked in butter...We have two very spoiled dogs. I have a 70 lb. Pit Bull who thinks he's a lap dog. My husband has a tiny little long haired dachshund (ha-ha) A few years ago I lost 61 pounds on Weight Watchers. I even worked for WW for a while...Hurt my knee and had to stop working out and quit my karate class so I gained some (not all) of the weight back...Besides wanting to lose the weight to be healthier, I have a whole wardrobe of cute smaller clothes that I need to get back into!!

    Howdy! I'm Bob and I live in Miamisburg, OH...just south of Dayton. I work or have worked all over over Ohio and am currently on an assignment at the Ford F-150 plant in Dearborn, MI. I have worked in West Chester, Defiance, Toledo, Lordstown, Mansfield, Parma, Columbus, and Moraine for various assignments at different GM plants in a regional capacity so I've gotten all around this great state. I also used to have a plant in Pittsburgh so I would drive right through the Zanesville area into Wheeling, WV.

    I am essentially at my goal weight and am doing a combination of P90X, Insanity, and riding my bike to get in shape...I am still in search of the elusive six pack, but I am getting there.

    Hi, I'm Kyo and I live in Bowling Green, OH. I moved here from Ocala, FL to live with my now ex-fiance. I don't know anyone out here and haven't really gotten out much since my ex always wanted to stay at home. It would be nice to meet some people or get some advice on places to check out and things to do around here. :)

    Hello all! Born and bred in Ohio. I grew up at Indian Lake, and have lived the last 17 years in Columbus. I love this state but hate the gloom (especially this time of year). I live with my hubby, 2 dogs and a kitty who thinks he's a dog. Go Bucks!

    Hi! I'm Nicole, but a lot of people call me Nika (pronounced Nee-kuh). I'll answer to either one. I'm turning 23 on the 9th of December, and I've lived all around southwestern Ohio. I was born and raised in Cincinnati, moved to Dayton after graduation, and now I live in Hillsboro, but I drive through Wilmington and Batavia all the time. I'm a student majoring in chemistry at University of Cincinnati Clermont. I'm a Bengals and Reds fan, regardless of how awesome or poorly they do. I work at a records retrieval company and go to school full-time, so my life is hectic right now, but I'm working on getting up earlier for work to make sure I get a workout in. I've been an MFP-er for a while, but now I'm committed to losing the weight even more than before. I've always been heavy, and now its time to shed it all.

    Hello, I'm Tyson. I am originally from NW Ohio (If you know where the Etch-a-Sketch or Spangler Candy Cane is made, you pegged my hometown). I have lived quite a few place when I was in school, I started at Toledo OH, Ada OH, Pittsburgh PA (McKee's Rocks), Beaver PA, and now Blacklick OH (east of Gahanna). Currently, I am splitting my time with getting healthier, and my career. I also play on a local Soccer League on Fridays (recreational). I have some family in the area but the majority is back home. I love to run in any weather and especially when its snowing (I know, it sounds crazy, but I am from NW OH).

    I have been off and on with my healthy living this yr so I thought this would keep me on target.
