i'm stacy, 34 and in winston salem. i grew up in matthews (southeast of charlotte) until i went to the nc school of the arts for college. prior to that i flunked out of ecu twice - but i love greenville territory! while i was at ncsa, i was also lucky to play in the summer festival orchestra in manteo for 3 summers running - i *love* the outer banks. i'm also a boone junkie. my husband went to asu, and my family and some close friends have been going up there every year to get our christmas trees for the last 25 years or so - in fact, christmas tree day is right around the corner - december 3 this year!

can't wait to meet ya'll! :flowerforyou:

I live across the street from UNCP.

No, My Mom died back in 2007. At the time I was taking care of her in the daytime-- and in the evening, helping out with my roommate. My roommate was a post-polio and paralyzed as a result. I lived there rent free in exchange for helping her out, putting her into bed, helping her use the bathroom and wipe, things like that. But she called me evil for my religious choice (I'm Wiccan) and the daytime helper actually was hitting me and such. It was a bad situation.

I got the call from Dexter's Mom asking me to move up here. Dexter (I'll explain about him in a minute) was living with his Mom in Maxton and she was in poor health, so I moved up here since I was living in a bad situation.

Dexter is my best friend. He is also my ex-boyfriend, but we get along better than most married couples do. We moved to Pembroke (his cousin took over caring for his Mom) from Maxton in 2010.

lme0627

Good mornng! My name is Leslie and I just started MFP a few months ago but just got serious last week about my health. I have done WW in past and had a lot of success about 11 years ago but have always had food addictions all my life. Last few years I have been battling things and food is my comfort.

I live in Raleigh and have for the past 21 years. However I grew up on the NC coast in a little town called Oriental- which is a bit of paradise especially after all the hustle in Raleigh/Triangle area. I still go home often to visit family. Staci- I went to ECU also (many moons ago) and barely graduated-ha!

I hope everyone is ready for a great Thanksgiving in NC! We are actually staying at home this year. I think we are going to a local cafeteria and I gotta say I think it will be great- I will not overeat and nibble all day on snacks!

Lexington, NC here. Been using the MFP app to count calories for about 3 weeks and lost 7 pounds. Started a C25K program today. Hopefully will stick to that I usually do good at dieting or working out not both at the same time. Here's to the grind.
