This group doesn't seem to have a proper introduction thread. I'm not sure why, but I think we should probably change that. The point of this group, afterall, is to have discussions, so let's all get to know each other.
Where do you live? How old are you? What do you do? What brought you here and what do you trying to accomplish? Tell us about yourself!

Let me begin.
I live in Raleigh near Crabtree. I'm 31. I work in the clincial trials industry doing some boring paperwork.
I was introduced to the site by my wife after she heard me complain about how I'd been eating terribly recently and was starting to be dissapointed in my weight. I've had some success with and enjoyed tracking foods on another site before, so this seemed like a good idea. So now we're both here to try to keep each other accountable, and motivate and support each other.0 -
Oh, hey! I'm the previously mentioned wife!
I'm 29, and I live in Raleigh with my husband. He is pretty much the best. I like to play guitar (although I haven't done it in months), knit, design wedding stationery for my Etsy store, and cook new recipes. I'm also pretty big on going to the Blue Ridge to see $2 movies. I'm here because I swore that if I hit 170 pounds I'd accept that my half-hearted attempts to eat better weren't working and get involved in MyFitnessPal. I've only been at it a few days, but I'm feeling good!
Who else is out there?0 -
I am 35 and live in north raleigh near Wake Forest, Rolesville & Knightdale. I am a bankruptcy rep(new position). i am trying to take off what I put back on since Jan. I was doing really well, but lost control. I am also trying to get my husband back on track.
In our spare time(which is few b/c of 3 boys), we like to do RPG. It fun to meet up w/ friends and roll the dice and see what trouble your character just got itself into. *We're all gonna die! Roll a D6!(i prefer D20's).*0 -

Hello all! My name is Resse, I'm 31 years old, and I live in Raleigh. I moved here to be with my then fiance/now husband. I am a singer/songwriter who just had a baby. I'm on fitnesspal because I am trying to make myself accountable so I can lose the remaining baby weight I have from my daughter. Today is Day 2 and I'm feeling pretty great about things. Tomorrow is my first day of 6am Bootcamp so we'll see how excited I am this time tomorrow LOL0

Hey everyone. I'm from Raleigh and I'm 24. I live close to Fuquay with my husband and 2 step daughters. I was on MFP previously, and just kind of stopped. I had a lot of success, but now I'm back to where I started. I have a metabolic disorder--my body can't use long chain fats for energy, so I need a high carb/low fat diet and I can't exercise more than and hour at a time. It seriously limits my weightloss goals though.
I'm starting a C25K program through Fleet Feet Raleigh tomorrow. I love running, so hopefully this will work out well. Let me know if you'd like to run together sometime!0 -
Hello, I'm new to the group but have been on MFP for quite a while. I go back and forth with updating my food and exercise log but I have a fitbit so that makes the exercise part easier since it sync's up. Anyway, I'm 33 and live in Wake Forest, I've been married to my wonderful husband for 12 years and we do not have any kids of our own. My 10 year old nephew has been living with us for the last 5 months so I guess you could say we are "parents" now. I work for a mortgage company and am lucky enough to work out of my home. Feel free to friend me if you are in or near Wake Forest, My husband and I are fairly new to NC. we are Florida transplants
I also run a fitness motivation page on Facebook, feel free to "like" that as well:

Hey folks. I'm Dan from Morrisville.
I've set a goal of 25 pounds, and after 6 weeks, I'm down 9. That's pretty exciting.
Like a lot of us around the Triangle, I have a sedentary job, so exercising is my biggest challenge.0 -
