    Well hey derr dontcha know! (like we really talk like that) :-) I'm here in Red Wing along the River Valley. LOVE living here, such a cute town. I grew up in Eagan, lived in Oregon for a while and am back here to start our family. I have our first baby due in February 2013! Anyone ever modify their MFP to adjust for the pregnancy weight?
  • I don't think I ever actually posted in this thread? Shame on me. Anyway, I am from Mankato. I love Minnesota, but want to live in Vegas. Weird?
  • Hello everyone, I'm December and I live in Bloomington.

    Hello all! I am Erin and I live in Shakopee. I am a nursing student and a mother of a 15month old boy. I look forward to all the support I can get!
  • Hello all! I recently moved back to Minnesota after three years in North Carolina. I'm over on the NE side of the Twin Cities - same place I grew up.

    I put on over 40 lbs while in NC and have decided that it is time to get it off. One of the trainers at the local YMCA I joined recommended this site, and I'm hoping it gives that little extra push of motivation I need. I'm a visual learner and a data junkie, so I have high hopes. :)

    Hi everyone.. I'm Christy and I live in Rockford (near Buffalo / Delano) for those who think it's in Illinois. I work in Wayzata, have two boys, one husband, and three dogs. Not much support for mom trying to lose weight and get some exercise in between everyone else's schedule. I've found that 5:30 am works pretty well! I'm relatively new to the site, just getting pretty active now as I get serious about losing weight.

    Hey MN friends! I am Jenelle and I currently live in Woodbury. I went to high school in Stillwater and soon I will be graduating from Ai with a BFA in photography in December! I spend a lot of my time in Lindstrom MN and along the banks of the St. Croix River. My husband and I are currently looking to buy a house north of the cities! I love the beauty of MN nature and am enjoying the warm weather walks! It gets harder for me to work out when winter rolls in. Feel free to add me, ya betchya I'll be ur friend ;)

    Hello, everyone.

    I'm currently living in Owatonna, just south of Minneapolis. I'm originally from Florida but would like to end up living in Europe someday*crosses fingers*. I do enjoy Minnesota for now, though. I'd like to find some like minded people near me. It seems everyone I've come across, so far, kinda looks at me strange. What with me and my healthy cooking ideas and all. :P

    If anyone is in my area, I'd also like some advice on any good gyms nearby. I know winter is going to be hard for me and I need to find a place to work it out. ...Literally

    Hi Everyone -

    While I have been on MFP since January 2012, I just found this group... glad I'm finally here. Grew up in the Twin Cities, moved away a couple of times for my husband's job, and had the opportunity to move back "home." That was 13 years ago. I live and work in the south metro. Very active in road races and sprint tris. I'd love to connect with other MN people! Feel free to add me.
  • Hello all,

    From Shoreview, MN although I have lived in many cities in MN

    Hello, Minnesotans!

    I'm Julia, a 36-year-old library girl in the SW metro. I had been toying with MFP off and on for a few years, but only started using it faithfully this past April, and am thrilled to have lost 20 lbs in that time. I'm nearing my goal weight now, despite the demands of a full-time job, a 2-year-old and a household often in disarray. Good luck to you all -- it certainly isn't easy to make lifestyle changes.
  • Hello,

    My name is Christi. I live in the St. Cloud area. I have been a member of MFP for awhile now but just decided in October to get really serious about getting healthy. So far I have lost 7lbs and I have many more to go. I am trying to make small changes towards a healthier lifestyle to fuel my weight loss efforts. This is not an easy task with 3 kids who look at your healthy dinner with a disgusted face and tell you to get that away from them. I guess they need a little bit more time and more gradual changes. I, on the other hand am ready now!
