Hi, I'm Hannah and I'm 27, I live in Sunset Park in Brooklyn with my fiance and have been in NYC for 4 years. I love to lift weights and walk/hike. I have asthma and cannot run even if I'm being chased by zombies or rabid dogs or whatever. I bike occasionally but my bike is an awful one-speed so I need to upgrade. My goal is to lower my body fat percentage to the point where I'm comfortable in a bikini in public, and to feel good enough physically to be able to climb mountains with my guy!

Hi all!

I am Andrea, age 37 & live in Kensington Brooklyn & work in Soho.

I am trying to get back in shape post-baby (who's now a preschooler). I am also trying more clean eating, and trying to find new ways to stay active.

Hi all,

My name is Jorge and I grew up in Queens, currently reside in Brooklyn and work in Midtown.

Hi!

Hi I'm Shanique I live and work in the Bronx. Trying to get in shape and be healthy.

Hey!! I am Tracey and I am 26 years old... Born, raised, and residing in the Bronx!

I have always been active and sporty but life has gotten the best of me these past three years with school and work. I've gained about 25 pounds and I am putting a stop to it!!! T
rying to get back into running, and rollerblading.
I started eating clean in January and just started MFP last week... I love it!! It has all my foods and is so easy to use...

::Fingers crossed::

PS, anyone go to New York Sports Clubs?

Hi my name is Lisa Iam 43 years old, Short, Italian woman from Bronx, NY. I live in Country Club and Pelham Bay all my life. At my highest weight I was 290 pounds and a walking time bomb. I had high blood pressure, cholestrol, minor heart problems, troubled walking and breathing. I had my first WLS surgery on June 13,2006 at Lawrence Hospital by Dr. Daniel Davis.. I had started to have problems with my band and just at that time he left the hospital and moved out of state. I needed a new doctor and I was not doing well. My cousin who worked as a ER nurse at NYU Langone Medical Center then got me in touch with the weight loss surgical team and I met with Dr. Marina Kurian. I met Dr. Marina Kurian in June of 2012 and we had a great connection. She also did Al Rocker's surgery more than 10 years ago.. I had my Gastric Bypass surgery on October 9,2012 I was 258 and Iam now 185 and losing. Found out when she removed my band I had a undetected hernia that was under my band all these years. I went from a size 26/28 to almost now a size 14. I do Zumba, walking Pelham Bay Park track and walking paths. I am starting to do a kick boxing dvd. Iam working out on my own and looking for a workout partner in my area. I want to join a gym can't afford it right now. Planet Fitness is afforable but I want to try to take different classes which it does not offer. Iam very outgoing, friendly, good hearted woman who loves to cook and bake. Right now been a stay at home mom since my son was born prematurely in 2002, he is prefectly healthy now but with hubby and mom still working full time I am the sole care giver. I have to be here to get him after school from school bus at 2:30. I need to be home when he off from school or sick. I am actively looking for work part-time for now until my mom retires in August and can take care of him for me. In the mean time taking care of me. Iam looking to make new friends who have had the Gastric Bypass or Lapband and live near me. Lets meet.... Iamalso on facebook at Lisa Hall( Iazzetti) and on twitter as LeeBxBella..

Hi Everyone!

My name is Krystal was born in the Bronx and am currently back in the Bronx. Well really my apartment is half Bronx half Yonkers hoping I will not get kicked out because of that I am 27 and I work for a major non profit. I am looking to lose about 90 pounds, make healthier food choices and become more active. I am also looking for some support in this journey. I have tried to go at it alone and I was unsuccessful. If I could find a buddy with similar goals or maybe someone who has "been there done that" to provide tips and motivation it is greatly appreciated.
