I came to Minnesota from Argentina (long story) in the 80's... spend a decade there, another in Duluth (shout out to all my peeps up there!) and currently live in Rochester. Long term goal (other than getting fit) is to get back to the Cities!

I'm Cecilia, 49, mother of 3, divorced, and a registered nurse. I had RnY gastric bypass surgery two weeks ago, and started exercising three days ago. I need all the support I can get to make permanent life changes.

Thank you for all being here!

Hi, I live in Minneapolis near Victory Memorial Parkway. I got diagnosed pre-diabetic so I have been trying to eat healthy and lose some weight. I'm originally from Alaska, but moved here five years ago to get my bachelors. Now I'm an art teacher currently working on my masters.

Also on a side note, for dog lovers out there, I work with a rescue and they are currently looking for a home for this guy www.adoptthisdog.com So please spread the word, thanks!

No, sorry lol, I've lived in Alaska most all my life, I've only been here about five years.

Greetings! I'm fairly new to the get fit concept and hoping to get a significant change over this summer. Hoping to actually get out and enjoy some of the wonderful nature around, ya know?! Oh, and I'm from Rochester.

Hi I live in New Brighton, and work in North Minneapolis. I keep taking up, then stopping, running, but I'm back at it , this summer. I've run in several local 5-Ks , The Susan G Komen at the Mall of America, The Frozen 5K with the St. Paul Winter Carnival, the 5-k that goes with the Twin Cities Marathon, and a couple of St. Paul Jewish Community Center Dreidel Dash 5-Ks. ,
I'm in process of quitting an LA Fitness gym, but plan to join a Lifetime Fitness in the fall.
I also love walking and like finding good Twin Cities places to walk, like Summit Avenue, Minnehaha Parkway, around Lake Como,etc.
I was disappointed to meet with my doctor and physical therapist, recently, and find that weight lifting and crunches are out, due to arthritis in my upper spine. I'm 48 so maybe that shouldn't be too surprising.
Why is the Minneapolis Diagonal Trail listed on the Grand Rounds map...but does not actually connect to Grand Rounds at all? Just wondering.
I got a myfitness pal dot com account several months ago, updated it faithfully, lost 4 of the 25 pounds it's my goal to use...then just stopped updating it, and gained some back. So this week I went back to updating my fitnesspal. and this time I'm adding friends, maybe it will keep me more motivated.
I love my couch and my tv and my computer & need to make the effort to get out there when I can.
