Howdy folks!
I'm Kelly. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, now living in Cleveland's West Side. Love OH so far, been here for a little over 2 years (moved for Hubby's job). Been on MFP for awhile & love using it to keep on track. I just gave birth to our 2nd daughter in March, so I'm back on track & focused on my weight-loss/health goals, now.

I'm definitely looking for exercise buddies & friends to hang out with. So, if you're in the Cleveland area & need a walking buddy or just a friend, send me a message!

Cheers & Healthy Trails to all!

Hi all! I'm Stacey, 23 and have been living in the Dayton area for a little over a year now (moved from England). I've met a lot of awesome people but haven't made a lot of friends, especially those I can hang out/work out with and who are going through the same life changing journey that I am.

My trouble areas are finding motivation to work out (I find that I am better at motivating others than I am myself haha) and will power to say no to all those delicious bad for you foods that we all know and love. But I'm taking it one day at a time. Slow and stead wins the race as they say!

It took 3 years to put on 100+lb and after losing 65lb then gaining 15lb of that back, I am finally ready to get rid of the final 50lb to finally reach my goal!

Feel free to shoot me a message or add me as a friend.

hi! I'm alison. I'm an eastsider, also known as the best side of Cincinnati.
I'm a proud University of Cincinnati Bearcat. the real bUCkeye school.

I'm married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 kids together. I'm beyond busy with them, work and my social life (aka Cincinnati sports teams -- Bungals season ticket holder, Bearcat enthusiast, and LOVING baseball right now with the hunt for RED October). with all of that on my plate I can easily forget to take care of myself.

I love to run, I hate finding the time to do it. I finally did the Flying Pig Half this past May, and I'm signed up to do the Color Run in October and will be doing the Thanksgiving Day Race for the 6th year in a row in Nov.

feel free to add me, I'm loving all of these local mfp'ers!

Hi I'm Liz! I have lived in Ohio my entire life, and have recently moved from Carroll/Lancaster/Lithopolis to Columbus. I have been overweight since middle school and I want to make the changes necessary to live a better/healthier life. I'm getting married in April, sub for various school districts, and have a crazy dog named Moose.

Thanks for creating this group! It's nice to know that I'm not alone. (Anyone) feel free to add me and we will encourage each other together!

Hi! I am Dawn born and raised in Ohio. From Lancaster originally and now reside in the great suburb of Pickerington.

I started my weight loss journey in 2004 after losing my father very suddenly to bad health. Both my parents were/are overweight, and diabetes runs rampant in my family.

Heath and fitness have always been my primary goal.

Between 2004-2007 I lost and kept off 64 pounds. I did multiple 5 and 10ks per year. I started on Weight Watchers then moved to calorie counting, over time I have also weaned myself off of fast food, processed foods, and overall try to just eat normal and healthy. HUGE fan of eating and shopping local.

I regained about 30 of those original 64 and in the last three years I have lost and gained the same 15 pounds repeatedly. I am desparately trying to break that cycle.

My mother and sister both recently had bariatric surgery and this is a road I do NOT want to go down.

I want to do this the right way. I have the fitness down now for I am a very very healthy fat girl. Now I need to get the weight off for good.

Currently trying to lose about 60 more pounds and feel more committed than ever. Love having great weight loss buddies surrounding me who will motivate me when I am not feeling it, and who I can help motivate as well. Thanks!

Hey Everyone. My name is Tim. I'm in Lake County. I'm tired of the beach ball I lug around daily and want this to be the year I get skinny. I think every diet fails if you don't track your food. I love this app. It's easy to use, both online or from my smart phone. I'm really hoping it makes the difference for me. I have a lot to lose, but there's no reason I can't be lean by Christmas. I hope you're all successfull and that your success rubs off on me!
