    Hey Girls, I'm Kati and I live in Leander. I've been working on weight loss for quite awhile, but I often quite and gain all the weight back. I recently had a baby, and I want to make the weight loss changes stick so I can be a more active mom. I lost 2 lbs during my pregnancy and about 20 since, but I really need to tone the fat and build my muscles. Figured what better way to do it than to find others doing the same.

    I'm from Northwest Austin. I moved here from Cleveland about 3 years ago. This is a pretty fit city, and it is inspiring me to make a change.
  • Hi there! I'm in southwest Austin as well. I gained 30lbs with my first baby (now four months old) on top of the 40 I already had to lose, so now I'm trying to lose it ALL!
  • I'm in North Austin, just south of Wells Branch. I've never been a healthy weight (or at least since pre-school), but I have a 12 wk old, and I want to be healthy so that I can teach her to be.
  • Hi, I live downtown. I just joined and have about 25lbs to lose. Glad to see some locals on here!
  • Hey everyone. Im Nathan I live in North Austin off Wells Branch. I am always looking for new healthy food to add into my recipe box. I am also looking for friends that like to explore Austin.
  • Howdy! I have been living in the Austin area since high school. (before that I grew up in San Antonio) I have lived in north Austin, south Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park and now Hutto (I even plan on buying one of those big cement hippos for my yard someday).
    Really glad to find a local group to join here on MFP... I hope to one day be in good enough shape to do one of the many Austin 5k runs.

I will be honest, i am awfully outta shape. I needto lose around 80-100 lbs to be in a healthy weight range for my 5'2" height. but if you think i wouldnt hold you back, id love the company :)

    Hey there! I just found this group and am happy to meet some locals. I live in South Austin near Slaughter, and would love join others for walks around Town Lake. I have only 10 pounds left to lose, but I am recovering from a serious injury and must take it slow. My focus is on good health and increasing my energy levels.

    Hi all! I am in South Austin off Slaughter and 35. I have used MFP in the past and did great... then went through breast cancer in 2010 (all good now) but between recovery from that and then just being lazy and too much BBQ and beer, I am back on here needing to lose about 30 pounds or so. If anyone in my area ever wants to go walking at Town Lake or Searight Park hit me up. I am not at RUNNING stage yet but hope to get there. :) I work a normal Monday through Friday 9-5 work week so can do after work or on weekends. Female... age 42 if that matters. :)
  • Hey there! I'm in South Austin (technically not til july) but I'm in Austin basically every day. My ultimate goal is 100lbs off but I'd be happy with just 70. I've been on MFP for a little while but didn't give it much heed. Same story as everybody else, ups and downs, but I've got no kids. Right now due to a skin condition my workouts are quite limited to not working out or just light activity in a pool, which I do every chance I get. I've cut my calories and I've lost 5 lbs thus far over the last two weeks. Hopefully we can all work together to reach our fitness goals!
  • Hello,

    I live in the central/east Austin area. My ultimate goal is to lose 80 lbs, but I'm doing it Verrrrrrrrrryyyyyyysssslllloooowwwwwllly, so I figure I could use some inspiration. Austin is such a fitness-conscious city, it's hard to be heavy here. After I get my new knee, I want to start running again.

    Hi! I work in South Austin and saw Corazon's website. Do you like it? I used to LOVE doing Zumba when I lived in a small town, but it seems like all the classes I've tried here are too hard to keep up with! I can't Zumba well if its really technical and requires alot of coordination...I like when instructors do a lot of salsa and things like that. Does that make sense? I'd love to give it a try!

    Hey everyone! :) My name is Christine and I'm a recent grad from UT and current full time graphic designer. I live about 15 min north of downtown. Anyone should feel free to add me! I just joined this site because I've lost all of my good habits since starting a full-time, desk job so I'm trying to get back in shape.

    I love running and swimming, especially swimming. If anybody knows of a good (free or cheap) place to swim laps in the Austin area, I would love to know! Thanks :)

    I'm trying to get more serious about losing some weight. I'd like to lose 25 - 30 pounds. I used to walk a lot and ride my bike, but I started dating a fabulous man two years ago and we like to cook/eat!! We seriously watch too much Food Network!! It also could be due to the fact that I'm getting older and it's harder to keep the weight off. (49) I live in the North area and would love to have some motivation to get healthy and feel good again!!
