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.

Hello, I'm Jenny. I have lived in SW Minnesota, Alexandria, Duluth, Woodbury and now Burnsville. Glad I found this group

been part of this group for a while and I am not sure if I ever introduced myself! I was born and raised in Isanti for 21 years and I now currently live in the city of Foley (next to St Cloud). Please feel free to add me as well!!!

Hi all! I'm Melissa and currently live in Burnsville. I have also lived in Rochester, Hopkins and Minnetonka. I'm looking for new friends and a possible work out buddy.

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.

Hi there -

I'm in White Bear Lake. I've been looking for a Meetup group or something similar for local support. Perhaps this will do it!

Hello fellow Minnesotans. I live in the northern metro. Using MFP for some inspiration/motivation assistance and a way to track my diet and exercise that wont get lost or forgotten at work/car/messy house

Hello all!

What part of Alaska?

Hello, my name is Heather - I grew up in Bloomington & have lived in St Louis Park now for 17 years. I have been on this healthy path since January 2013 and making good progress. I typically workout in my basement - I like kettlebells, stationary or traditional biking, and I can't believe I'm saying this - I am beginning to like running (NEVER thought I would say that....ever). Anyone feel free to add me...and I am certainly open to a meet-up in the cities too!
