    I'm from Oklahoma City, Ok. I've been playing on Oklahoma City Roller Derby's B-Team, the Lightning Broads since March. Haven't gotten much bouts in though b/c of knee/foot problems which affected my attendance. Hence why I'm here- to lose weight and build up some strength so I'm not plagued with injury next season.

    Welcome ladies. Sounds like we are from all over. My team is a new team. We are an apprentice league this year, but next year we'll be official. I've been skating just about a year. I said it in another post, but my derby name is Hellblazer.

    I skate for Oklahoma Victory Dolls Roller Derby's All Star Squad. My first new girl practice was in January of 2009 and my first bout was June of 2009. I was a bench warmer in 2009 and 2010. When I got on to MFP the beginning of 2011, my skating skills got 10 million times better and I have been a starter for the All Stars last year and this year. I love MFP because it makes me and my teammates accountable and we can creep on each other and bust each other out when we start to slack.

    I see there is a fellow Okie on here! Yay!

    and btw...thank you for the invite to this sweet group :)

    I love BERG! We traveled to NOLA in 2010 and they were some awesome hostesses.

    I've *almost* completed fresh meat at Dunedin Derby in New Zealand. Just have to shave about 3 seconds off my 25 in 5.

    Three seconds is nothing (and everything!). You can do that I'm sure. That's awsome. Good luck :wink:

    Hey lady! I haven't met you personally yet but know who you are (gah that sounds creeperish!). Awesome that you ladies have such a great support system going through mfp. And you are so correct that this has helped with skating. I've lost 20lbs since the tail end of our season and felt like I've improved a bunch since by being in better shape. My goal is to no longer be a bench warmer next season:-D

    Charm City Roller Girls in Baltimore, MD. Just coming of a 6-7 month leave thanks to a severe ankle dislocation and broken fib. Healed up pretty good and got a lot of my flexibility back when they removed hardware. Time to get back in shape. It's so hard because I was in such good shape when I got hurt, that it is a headgame to get back on skates and struggle and everything hurt. My lower back screams after just a few laps, and I can't keep up like I used to.

    I'm Randi, and I'm a Crash Test Hunnie with North Texas Derby Revolution. I've only been skating heavily for almost 3 weeks, and currently on the training team.

    I'm Linda and I am in the freshmeat training class for Little City Rollergirls. This is only our second week so I am just starting this journey but I am already having such a blast and I always look forward to practice. Plus the workout is amazing! The muscle pain isn't so fun but, no pain, no gain right?

    I am from Western Kentucky and I play for the West Kentucky Rockin' Rollers. I broke my ankle and started skating again in August and needed some help tracking my progress and what I eat. I fell off the band wagon for a little while but I am going to give it a shot again, really I just am still working in strength and balance.DERBY LOVE!!

    Autopsy Turvey and I have been playing for the Des Moines Derby Dames (Des Moines, IA) for almost 4 years minus some time off for a broken ankle. Back at it now and stronger than ever. Our men's team (Your Mom) won Nationals this year and we are starting to practice with them ( a little intimidating)

    I'm in Wellington, New Zealand. Currently freshmeat so I'm trying to work on my balance and stamina. Hoping to play for Richter City Rollers.
