    How awesome to see so many from the area! I used to live outside Detroit too. Like Livonia and Northville-way. Once I got used to people trying to run me over every day, I was ok. LOL! I def love the west side and am grateful to be back!

    Good luck to everyone and hope you all are having a great day! :)

    No, but the people from IL are the ones who regularly try to hit me. No offense to IL people but they are crazy! And so are MI drivers since I've come back. I think my fellow PA drivers were much kinder and I got used to it. I drove back into MI with all my stuff and couldn't believe the driving. Ugh! LOL

    Howdy! I've heard of it but never been. I want to try to get myself up to TC sometime. Grew up in MI and never been. Perhaps because I don't like cherries. ;)

    Heather,

    I cannot believe you have never been to TC. You must go. Beautiful scenery and WINE, so much WINE. I also had no idea you moved back to MI. Sorry to hear about your breakup. Glad you are on MFP - the support is amazing!!!

    Hello from the east coast of Michigan (Bluewater/Port Huron area)! Feel free to add me!
    Speaking of Traverse City, it is a fun town and I'm heading up there in a few weeks for the Bayshore Marathon! Woo hoo!

    HI Everyone! I from the Lansing area. Though I'm not new to MFP I am back from a long break. I just got so discouraged after losing 17lbs last year and then gaining it all back over the summer and fall. sigh. My thyroid went back out of whack and it took 4 mos to stablize it again, and by then I had gained back quite a bit so it didn't take much for the rest to follow. This time around I'm prepared and know what to look for, so hopefully, it will stick! Keep up the good work everyone! ~Katrina

    Mellyliestorun: Good Luck to you!! It will be here before you know it. I hope you'll post how it goes when it's all over. :)

    I so want to walk (maybe run) in the bayshore half. Maybe next year!

    I wouldn't mind entering a marathon but I have no experience (or am ready) in running. I'd have to walk. It's intimidating and would like to complete one at least once in the future. Good luck to those training and getting ready to walk/run! :)

    Hi there, I'm Carol and from Bad Axe. Welcome to mfp!

    To those who mentioned Bayshore, I ran the 10K years (and many pounds) ago - I think it was 2006. It's such a beautiful couse! My goal is to do another 10K this year, hopefully I'll be ready by fall.

    Hi everyone! I'm currently in Caledonia! (Near Grand Rapids). Does anyone live near GR that wants to start jogging once or twice a week? My last jogging buddy moved, which was sad because knowing you have someone to meet to jog with gave me that push to actually go out and do it! :)

    Traverse City is probably my favorite city in Michigan btw, you should totally go there! Doesn't matter that you don't like cherries! There's wine, cheese and chocolate!
