Hello All!
I am a 43 year old "Damn Yankee" (a yankee who moves South because of the warmer climate and friendly people, and decides to stay) originally from Northern Indiana and been down here in New Orleans since 2004.

I am a 30 year old NOLA native and bartender. I am have working out 4 to 5 days a week the past 2 months and finally decided to start getting serious about the food portion. It is so hard in this city and especially working in the service industry too. I do love my wine!!
how do you stop your temptations in this loving city that offers so many delicious cocktails and fried foods?0 -
My husband is actually from Indiana - small town of Veedersburg, or some such. We were just up there recently looking at houses in the South Bend area, but decided to scrap that idea.0

Tell me about it, Leslieamini! My husband is in the service industry and between the hours and crap available to eat, it gets hard! Since I work from home, if I want to see my husband at all that mean I need to stay up, which usually ends up meaning I eat two dinners as well!
The temptations will always be there, but it's a matter of reigning them in! Only eating half of that shrimp po-boy!

Hey everyone, I just joined this site a week ago. Being anal about what I eat has been helping me. I lost a quick 30 by putting my body in "ketosis." It really does work. Cutting sugars is easy. Carbs takes work but doable. Just eat a lot of grilled chicken and blackened talapia or salmon. Oh, and you have to get a cast iron skillet. They are the best......0

Hey yall boy am I glad to have found this group because it's hard to live in a city with so much awesome food and being as I've lived here a while I wanted to see how others are staying healthy around here.
My big question for you guys is what are some restaurants that are healthy?0 -
I'm 25 - grew up in New Mexico and moved here when I was 19, about a year after Katrina. I'm a vegetarian in a very tough city to be one... Just got a new job with a gym membership as a benefit. I'm excited about that. I'm also a member of the Sailor Corps of New Orleans, the support Krewe for the Sirens of New Orleans. I'm hoping to get in better shape before parade season starts.0

Hi! I am a 35 year old teacher. My hubby and I have lived in NOLA for 5 years. I need some motivation to take the time to work out and eat healthy once school craziness starts. I've tracked my meals before and it really helps me cut pounds.
I would also love to find a evening running or walking buddy.0 -
Howdy all. 38 year old Metairie dude here. Have been a yo yo dieter and workout guy for years, but trying to get in a groove and make a permanent lifestyle change.0

Hi everyone! My name is Torrey and I am 26 years old and I live on the Westbank (Marrero). I am originally from the Washington, D.C. area. I came to New Orleans for school (I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Chemistry from Xavier University), planned and going back home after graduation but met a New Orleans girl and have been here every since! I have been married since 2010 and I have a daughter who was born in January of this year. It is because of them that I have decided to get serious about my health and to really start to lose some weight. I was diagnosed as a diabetic in 2010, but I did not take it seriously until now. I am glad to be a part of this group, and I hope I can help and be helped as a result!0

Hi Everyone,
My name is Cindi and I live in St Bernard. My husband and I have a non profit and have been here Katrina. New Orleans has the best food on the planet ! Looking for encouragement and ideas. God Bless you all 0 -
I'm a 49 year old wife and mother of two sons. My goal is to lose 50 pounds by my 50th birthday this summer. It's a huge challenge because I am also rehabbing a severely sprained ankle that is slow to heal. I am starting with a fresh juice cleanse and I drink fresh juices regularly as a part of my diet. I also just joined the UNO fitness center for the summer. They have a great summer special for $110. I like their water aerobics and indoor walking track. I am looking forward to getting my ankle well enough to walk the new track at City Park. It's so beautiful out there and I hate that I can't enjoy it yet.0

Hello All! I am a 33y/o single mother to four girls and I have been using myfitnesspal for about a year now. I was born and raised her in New Orleans. About four years ago, I lost about 30lbs and kept it off until recently due to stress and gained it all back plus some. My goal is to lose about 40 to 50 lbs. I workout every other day at City Park on the fitness track if anyone cares to join me! Otherwise, I love to eat, which is my weakness. I wish you all success!0
