Midwesterners?

in Introduce Yourself
Is that even a word? Who knows. Anyway. I'm from Wisconsin originally and I'm going to school in Southern Illinois, so I usually just claim residency as "Midwest" as my two homes here are nearly twelve hours apart. I've been at this almost a month (and had been working out without calorie counting for a month before that) and would love to get some new people in my life from the same area as I am!

I'm pretty chatty when I'm on (which lately is just in the early mornings, but is usually at night) and I give GREAT advise due to a great track coach in high school, running a fitness blog, working in the Rec Center in my college, and researching TDEE and BMR thoroughly. If you think you'd like me as a friend, you should definitely add me!

    I've been to the Oak Creek Woodman's before. LOL. We stayed near Milwaukee when we flew out of there to Florida.

    How are things in the 'ville?

    I think Michiganders sort of straddle the midwest/Great Lakes regions... we can claim either distinction.

    Milwaukee here!

    I've been here almost a year...and have lost just under 50 lbs simply changing my eating habits/foods.
    I HATE exercise and will do it sporadically, but just don't stick with it.

    I am SOOOOO excited that I will be back in the Midwest again (in only 8 days!!!)

    Born in Minnesota, spent a few years in Wisconsin, and moved to Mobile, AL(for my man, not exactly my choice lol) where I have lived for 3 1/2 years but now we are moving back to his hometown of Des Moines! It's no Minneapolis (sorry Des Moines, I loved living in Mpls), but DSM has Zombie Burger, is close to cousins, and is an easy drive back to Minneapolis to see friends!

    While I am not sure about braving winter again, there is just something the Midwest and about us Midwesterners that is just awesome!!!

    Neat to see there are quite a few MPFers from DSM!!! Might need some support from you guys to keep me out of Zombie Burger and their wonderful selection of micro-brews!! : )
