    You got it. I searched the entire community and found all sorts of city and regional groups but none for NWA. I have about a 100 to go as well. Support is key for me as I started back in Nov. 2011, got serious in April this year, and joined MFP in June.

    Whatever I can do for you or anyone...glad you joined! The first one! Yipeeeeee!! I also moderate a small group called chipaholics for those of us addicted to any kind of chips in a bag or fries or fried foods. It's a cool little group.

    Welcome!
  • Hi! I live in Hog Country, too! I need to lose about 80 pounds to be in the Healthy BMI range. Right now I actually qualify for weight loss surgery, but I have to do 6 months of supervised weight loss first. Hopefully, my new eating plan, and tracking my progress, will work without having to do the surgery. I just bought a new mountain bike, and hope to ride on some of the trails around NWA.

    I'm in the speed trap between Fayetteville and Springdale...you know the one :smile: ....according to my doc I should lose about 30 more pounds but I will just have to see. Been trying to workout more with heavier weights. School starts on Monday for us teachers...being back on a schedule will help from grazing all day. Would love to have more friends....WPS!

    Hi everyone! I live outside Fayetteville and looking for workout friends
  • Hi I am Pam and I am new to the group. I am 29 and i want to lose 60 or so lbs. Live in Springdale right before heading out of town off 412. My birthday is in April so i am trying to lose as much as possible by then. Want to be a healthier new me for the next decade and beyond. I am a stay at home mom of 2 girls 4 and 2. My 4yo is in preschool now. I spend the mornings after i drop her off walking at the Lake Fayetteville Trail (BGO trailhead) most days. I try to get in at least 2 miles sometimes all the way to 4. Today i walked all the way around the lake. I am also going to start a beginner runners plan starting this monday working from no running to running continuous for 20 mins in about 10 weeks give or take.
    Feel free to add me and good luck to all!

    Hi Pam, good to see you here. A couple of us have been starting to put together group meets to walk on the weekends. Keep an eye out and join us!

    Birdie and I walked part of the Lake Fayetteville trail earlier today :) Walking with others is about the only way I'll get my booty moving and walking, so it's been great for me!
