Hi! I grew up in New Orleans, although really in Terrytown on the Westbank. My family still lives there so I visit when I can. My husband is from NO too. His family lived on North Rampart Street, then moved to Wagaman/Luling and then to Terrytown. We have been married for 34 years and now we live in Spring, Texas, a suburb of Houston. We go to our local Methodist church. You can make me a friend if you wish. MFP is a great weight loss tool. I think you'll like it. Also, we have a nephew in the military whose family just got transferred from NO to Virginia. They've been stationed there before and they really like it there. So maybe you will too!

Hi! Just thought I'd pop in with my first forum post to say I'm from Louisiana too. Been on a MFP for a little while, but only actively using for the last couple of weeks. Good luck!
