Are there ever meetups/meet and greets where members who are in the same area can get together and chat about their experiences, find workout partners and general friendship?

    I know some people on here have met up to do runs and stuff, but I have never heard of a formalized event.

    I've met a few MFP'ers in person. We all ate & drank too much! :laugh:

    Good times, good times! :drinker:

    That would be fun, but not to many people live around me. I live in a very small town in Utah. That would be cool though!

    I guess it's the publicist and networker in me that brought it up. It's kind of like how Weight Watchers and everyone has meetings but instead of weigh-ins, we could talk about struggles and successes, exchange recipes, celebrate milestones, etc. Maybe a monthly thing....a support group kinda sorta.....

    I love that idea too, but haven't been able to find any one close enough to where I live to do anything like that.

    For those living a little further out than others...would you do something on a quarterly basis where you would meetup in say the closest major city to you? Like. Maybe that would be a fun little thing to look forward to.

    Those closer maybe able to meet more frequently....say every month or so. And it wouldn't have to be just for food. But maybe a fun activity (yoga, picnics (where people can bring their unique recipes from their food diaries), field day (yep, just like in elementary school with all the fun and games, swimming, a day at the beach, whatever).

    Summer's here, we should do something.

    I'd do it! If there are any Massholes around here that want to, I'd be happy to. There's a 5K in Ipswich on June 26th, what a great way to meet! I'm running it, anyone else want to?

    I've seen a few meetups pop up on the forums already. But hey...why not start one in your town or city. I'm trying to organize one in the NYC area.

    I'm flying to Boston next week and meeting another :)
