Welcome to everyone from my fresh round of "recruiting"! Feel free to post anything health/fitness related here, especially if it has a local Indiana slant, or if you just need help with something on the site. There are a few of us that have kept this group somewhat active, but I'd love to see it get really active. If we can get enough active people, I could envision having some local activities for all of us Indy MFP peeps (possibly a group during a local run, or just a group of us going for runs occasionally or something like that - or whatever you want to suggest).
Again, welcome, and please contribute!! Don't be shy! :)

    Haven't heard of it... can you post a link? We had a thread for area runs last year, you might want to start a new one and post it there... (titled "Indy runs 2013" or something like that maybe)

    Hello ... It's nice to see more people who hate Indy weather! I'm doing the Shamrock beer run in broad ripple. Not the one downtown.

    I will post a link. I've participated the last couple of years. Didn't realize Broad Ripple had one going on, too!

    I am fairly new to the group, I would love to meet some local Indy friends for support. I have a long ways to go and am far from participating in a run but I would like to eventully get there!! Please add me as a friend if you like, I would love to get to know some locals. I have been a member of MFP since 2011 and have logged on and off, but just recently starting hitting the forums and trying to meet new friends for motivation. thanks and good luck! :flowerforyou:

    Thanks for the invite! The more inspiration and motivation, the better. This losing weight and getting healthy stuff is hard work but worth the long term outcome. :tongue:

    Changed my weigh-in day to Friday. That gives me Monday thru Thursday to burn off the weekend beer. new to mfp this week from WW and I feel like tracking is more accurate now. Impressed with the food data base here. This weight loss journey can be very frustrating so patience and persistance is key. Good luck to all

    Hi everyone, I am not new to MFP but as of today, this group. I have been a member of MFP since Original date of March, 2012, lost 20 pounds, then got a case of the stupids...and totally left. Rejoined in September 2012 and have dropped more weight but have been diligent ever since. Anyone feel free to add me as a friend...we are in this journey together.

    Thanks for the invite, I didn't know a group like this existed.

    I've been doing MFP since Jan 2012, have only lost about 20lbs, but I've fallen off the wagon a few times ;). Can't beat myself up about it, I'm human, a human who loves food. I do log everything though, and it's the holidays that get me.
    Clients always bring us good eats, and it's hard to say no.

    I can't wait until better weather so I can go walking on the Monon again. I will usually walk after work, and that can be anywhere between 6-7pm. I am in Broad Ripple, so if anyone wants to walk around at that time let me know. Having more people will keep us all on track :-).

    Thanks for the invite. I am a 46 yr old former athlete/referee(before 6 knee surgeries), father, grandfather in the Indy area. I am now pretty much restricted to walking. Makes the road a little longer but it has worked so far. Had the family working with me but they have all met their goals. Wife still makes sure we eat pretty healthy but I had the most to lose. Currently down 35-40, struggling through the winter so I can get back outside on walks. Treadmill really boring with just walking. Started out at .5 mile but by this fall was up to 2.5-3 miles 5-6 days a week. Knees feel better now than they have in years. We all need support and this group is just another tool for that. Thanks!!

    thanks for inviting me...i'm still relatively new in the area (2 1/2 yrs) and don't know a ton of people. i work downtown and would love to find other runners for when the weather breaks. i've been running for about a year, did the festival 500 5k last year and have registered for the mini this year. i'm 54 and am not looking to go super hard or fast, but enough to challenge myself and stay healthy/young! as soon as i can i'll be heading outside mon - fri to run the canal about 11:15, if anyone else is available, i would appreciate the company!

    Thanks for the Invite:)

    I am a 26 year old mom to 3 and wife of 14 years. I am a teacher, but teach 7-8 science at an online school. I work at home so I'm on my butt too much. I live in Plainfield, IN and work out at Planet Fitness over here...LOVE it! They are uber helpful...the employees and the other members!

    My husband and I are on this journey together, but her recently moved to Las Vegas for a job. We will be moving to Florida in 16 months, but that means I fella lone in this now.

    I'm glad I have a group who can support me here!
