  • My name is Sarah, and I'm 31 years old, in Columbus, Ohio. I'm originally from California, though. I'm 5'4", single/never married, no kids, no pets.

    In my spare time I'm involved in Toastmasters, writing, graphic design, and giving advice on MetaFilter. I also love camping and kayaking, and wish I did a lot more of both of them than I actually do.

    Sports/activities that I like to participate in include kayaking, ice skating, hiking, walking in 5k races (I'm faster than some of the runners!) and other solo activities. I want to be involved in tennis, racquetball, etc., but it's hard to find anyone to play with.

    The only sports I like to watch are dance, gymnastics, competitive cheerleading, and Ohio State football. I'll watch other college football when it's on - I root for Notre Dame, Army, Navy, Air Force, and BYU, more or less in that order. I grew up rooting for USC but they need to win my heart back after the travesty that was the 2000s.

    Yes, I have a car. :)

    I don't really have a single favorite film - I like the Lord of the Rings films, What Dreams May Come, the first Matrix, the first Pirates of the Caribbean, Life is Beautiful, Schindler's List, Star Trek and Star Wars generally, Chicago, etc. I often enjoy semi-mindless action films that violate basic principles of physics, but I was seriously insulted by, e.g., the fourth Indiana Jones film. Same goes for music - I don't really like modern jazz or a lot of modern country, but my MP3 player is filled with everything from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to the Monkees to Tupac to the Boston Pops and random BBC concerts.

    I work as an analyst for the government, so I (alas) sit around too much.

    My family is basically supportive, to the extent they know anything at all about what I'm doing. There are a lot of obesity-related health problems in my immediate family, and my stepdad is a Type II diabetic now, so the judging on food choices and the pressure to eat badly is definitely reduced from when I was a kid. But my mom won't drink anything but whole milk and has lots of candy out still, and is surprised when I suggest we make some healthy dishes along with the turkey and potatoes on Thanksgiving, so it's a mixed bag.

    I'm very much a comfort eater of carbs. Not really the pure sweets - I have a box of candy oranges and a box of licorice on my desk and I eat maybe four orange slices a week, and 6 pieces of licorice. It's more about the refried beans, potatoes, fried tortilla chips, chocolate milk, etc.

    I do not currently hold a calling - I actually struggle to get myself to church due to social anxiety. But I know the church is true, and I know that Heavenly Father is looking out for me and wants me to take care of my body and get healthy - probably much more than I do, to be honest! I'm very grateful for the support I've gotten from church members online and in my ward both with my health struggles and with keeping my testimony up despite everything that's going on in my life. I'm glad that the gospel is on the earth and helps people be better in every way; I don't think I can really quantify all the ways it's helped me.

  • Hi I'm Ashley. I'm 27, married, with 1 child and 2 step-children and hope to have another on the way within the next year. I live in MA but prefer warmer climets, especially because I like being outdoors (hiking, swimming, riding horses, etc). I work full time and am very busy, but still manage to get to the gym 5 times a week (before anyone wakes up!). I'm newer to the church and still struggle with applying the word of wisdom in my life, especially when I'm tired or stressed. I hope this group will be a reminder to me to try hard everyday.

    What's your name? Ryan
    How old are you? 31
    Where do you come from? Salt Lake City
    How tall are you? 5'7"
    Are you married? Yes, for about 9.5 years now
    Where do you live? Currently in Salt Lake City, but DW and I plan to move to Washington State at the end of the year.
    Do you have any children? Not yet, but we are working on adopting as well as continuing to try having our own
    What do you do in your spare time? I don't really have "Spare Time"--I work full time, am going to school for my Master's Degree, DW & I own our own Graphic design company, I am also a Photographer, I make hand crafted cosmetics/spa products for Men & Women and I love all types of games.
    What sports do you like? I don't generally care for sports.
    Do you have a car? A Hyundai Elantra
    What's your favorite film? This is a really hard one to nail down. I don't really have a single "Favorite". However, a couple of my favorites are: Lord of the Rings, Dune/Children of Dune (The SciFi Channel miniseries--though I do love the David Lynch version from the 80s), Young Frankenstein, the Star Trek movies and the recent Marvel Movies have all been excellent.
    What's your job? I have my Bachelor's in Digital Entertainment and Game Design and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Information Systems as well as having done Graphic Design for what seems like forever.
    Do you have any pets? We have two Shi-Tzus that are named Toshi and Rei
    What kind of music do you like? Anything but Country and Rap.
    Whats your family like in general or towards your diet? DW and I are in this together. The rest of my family is a bit perplexed by the changes in our diet and exercise, but generally supportive.
    What makes you splurge on your diet and what do you reach for? Since we are not really doing a "diet", we don't really splurge, per se. We have been making the shift to be more vegetarian than anything else, so if I had to nail down a treat that we use, it would be going to Zupa's and not having to cook. We just bought a dehydrator yesterday and I plan to make some yummy dried fruit for our treats as well.
    Do you have a calling? Nope, oddly enough, I don't even have home teaching families--not for lack of asking, though.
    Do you have a testimony you would like to share? As DW & I have been changing our eating habits and learning more about--and living--both sides of the Word of Wisdom it has amazed me at how true the promises are.

I can never express my gratitude to my Savior with adequate words.

    It is so nice to be able to talk to other LDS people and use our own language. I love that!
