    Hi I'm Ashley , I was invited to this group. It's awesome to have some local support. I have been on MFP for about 4 months now and lost 33 pounds from my SW 286. I am looking to lose it and keep it off.

    6 & Westheimer!

    I remember when Houston was "the land of Astroworld" and I was from Beaumont! I've lived in several places, Pennsylvania being the last before moving to Houston in 2003...I love Houston!!

    Great to meet some locals!

    Hi Everyone!!
    My name is Jane, I'm a UH student, legal assistant, and born & raised Houstonian! I work in downtown, and I live not too far (290&610 area). I started my MFP account about a year ago, but I have a bad habit of not keeping up with it (unfortunately). Trying to find ways to stay motivated! It's nice to see other Houstonians on this site; it makes the whole healthy lifestyle and weight loss idea more "real" (if that makes any sense).

    Hi I'm Christopher! Thanks for the invitation! I'm in the Humble/Atascocita area and I've been on my quest to relive my high school weight for a month, so far so good. I'm an ex computer gamer (World of Warcraft) and gained most of my weight over 10 years of gaming. After a trip to the doctors and finding out that I'm pre-diabetic, with hyper-tension, high cholesterol, oh and sleep apnea. I figured I might just want to do something about that. So yeah I’m here at the advice of my dietician. I’m picking up my “Fitbit” today from Best Buy and I can’t wait to try it out!

    Hey everyone! My name is Jason and I too am addicted to MFP! I've had the app on my android for about a year but didn't really get serious until the first of January 2012. In fact, I started eating REALLY bad on purpose around Thanksgiving and Christmas because I knew I was going to hit it hard this year. I ended up weighing 197lbs by the time Jan. 1st rolled around! Not good for only being 5'2" :o)
    But by my last weigh in last Wednesday I was down to 167!!!! I think I would like to weigh 150, maybe less. I owe it ALL to MFP because it has taught me about portion control, balanced diet and excersise!!!!!! The process has been great and I push myself a little more each day!

    Glad to read everyone's posts! Keep up the GREAT work and God bless!!!!

    Hey, new friends and neighbros! Welcome to the Houston group :smile: This group was the idea of member UUZennie and it has really taken off in the past few weeks. I learn something new everyday on MFP, and it's great to be able to connect with others in the Houston area through the site. Feel free to begin new topics on our Discussion Board and add to those already existing posts. Good luck on your health and fitness goals!

    Hi Houstonians! I've had the iPhone app for awhile now, but have never been to the MFP site until today and saw this group section. Pretty cool! I started around mid-February at 240lbs and I am not presently down to 215lbs, a 25lb. loss so far. I have another 15lbs. to my target weight goal off 200lbs, but I think I might take it a bit further since I am seeing such positive results. I think I found the secret to weight loss... eating healthy and exercise...lol!:wink:

    Hello Houston (especially the west side)

    I actually live in Richmond, TX but if I walk across the street I'm in Houston, y'all know how that goes.
    Anyway, even though I created this account years ago, this is my first time actually using it.
    I'm here to try something different, I lost 70 lbs a few yrs back but recently I'm back on the rise.

    I want to win at loosing!

    Hi all, I downloaded MFP for my iPhone a while back but started using it regularly when a co-worker mentioned it earlier this year. So far I'm having good success. I'm an accountant so I sit for long periods of time at my client's offices. I live near the Galleria and regularly hit up the 24 Hour Fitness gyms in the area. Love Body Pump and Zumba. Feel free to add me. I try to be a good friend and motivator.
