Hi, my name is Tina and I live in Johnstown, CO. I recently, as in the last week, joined MFP, and realized not a lot of people seem to be in my area. I'm looking to lose at least 75 lbs, not only to feel better and be healthy, but my daughter is getting married next summer and I want to look good in my mother-of-the-bride dress. :o) I'm hoping to find others to connect with to help motivate me and be accountable to. I have limited time right now that I can do things, but it would be nice to have a walking buddy once in a while, or someone willing to try out a class or two. I don't belong to any gyms, so hoping to do this on my own. I can do about a 20 min mile, at least while walking the dog.

I lost 40lbs about 5 yrs ago and have pretty much gained it all back.. lost 20, gained it back. Tired of being on the weight roller coaster.

Looking forward to making new friends.

    Hello, I live in Frederick. I am looking for some local help/support to be sure! My plan for the summer is to climb Twin Sisters in RMNP in August. I have 2 kids 10 boy and 13 girl, and a fabulous hubby who love me for who I am. (Why he is still there after 20 yrs) I love hiking and biking. I will be riding most of my days off to get in better shape. I work 3 12hr shifts per week. Various days.
    Thanks for starting this group and looking forward to the support!

    Hi, my name is Mindi and I also live in Johnstown, CO. I am BRAND new to myfitnesspal - a friend at work recommended it and it seems to have a lot to offer. I am hoping to find friends to walk with now and then either in the evenings or on the weekends as it really is a lot more fun to exercise with someone else. I have joined a gym before and will be joining again to workout occasionally in the mornings but I get bored easily on a treadmill and don't think I am at a fitness level to really handle some of the classes that interest me...someday :-)

    Wow! Johnstown is such a small town I'm surprised to see people other than myself on this site. Yep, that's right, I'm from Johnstown as well. My name is Rainee and I just joined MFP over the weekend. Love this site!

    I'd go for an occasional MFP NoCO group hike in the mountains somewhere. Great calorie burners!

    Hi, I'm Karen. I live in Fort Collins and am looking for support thru the menopause part of my life and weightloss journey, i have lost a lot of weight and regained most of it. At my heaviest I was 230 lbs and at only 5'1", thats really hard on my body. I am now 50 lbs less, but going thru menopause is really messing with lots of things. my emotions are all over the place, i cant seem to get a handle on my weight loss or gain and being single doesnt help much either.

    I sure hope to make some new friends who understand the struggle.

    hugs for the journey,
    Karen
