Hello San Diegans! I'm Toby and live in Oceanside. I'm pretty new to MFP, but have enjoyed the experience so far! I have MFP synced to my Body Media band which tracks my daily exercise and activities. I'm not an avid runner (prefer elliptical and/or exercise bike - easier on the knees), but like to do circuit training type of activities, gym classes, assorted workout DVD's, and just getting outside and being active. I completed the Tough Mudder last year about this time and it was a beast! But, it motivated me to try to stay fit (it's a daily struggle) and look for other challenges in the future.
I currently belong to 24 Hour Fitness and Fitness 19 and try to workout 4 - 6 times a week. Nice to be in a group of locals motivated about achieving their fitness goals!0 -
Hey there! New to MFP, new to tracking weight, want to break up with quite a few of my long-term relationships - or as we call them, pounds. Looking to get more active and fit. I live in Normal Heights but work in North County. Usually work out in the morning at the gym (weights) and was running a bit until I injured my toe. I go sailing regularly, used to horsebackride, enjoy hiking, want to run when well, and would enjoy having active locals to share workouts, motivations, tips, recipes, etc both on forums and in real life. I need to lose about 30 pounds to start.... and then we'll go from there. I gain muscle easily, but my body just does NOT want to let go of the fat. Currently following a mostly primal lifestyle to see how that works.
Cheers!0 -
Hi! I live in the North Park area. I'm a newbie and have lost about 9lbs, with approx. 44 to go to reach my goal of 165lbs. I've lost several times before and used to be much lower in my 20s, but now it's all about achieving and finally maintaining a healthy lifestyle. My biggest current challenge is that I've given up alcohol, which is hard to do when you're single and there's all kinds of awesome happy hours/restaurants in San Diego. My mini-goal for no alcohol is not to drink a drop until some champagne on New Year's Eve.0

Hey Everyone! I live in Imperial Beach, but find myself all over the county. I'm an assistant coach with a walking group out of Mission Bay on Saturday mornings and I'm trying to do more weight lifting. I lost about 25 lbs on my own and have another 85 to go, but without tracking anything I wasn't staying consistent. In the two weeks I've used MFP I've lost 4 lbs and feel great! I'm following IIFYM and it's working for me so far. See everyone out there!0

Hi. I live in Chula Vista and work in Banker's Hill. Lifetime WW since 1990's but tracking is key and I like tracking better here on MFP. I was a Jazzercise addict but no longer convenient or financially so trying to get back to my home cardio WOs and it has been hard due to some emotional issues in 2013. I am a morning walker with my Boxers one hour, play tug-of-war with Tank in the park and then off to work. I started walking at Balboa Park and other areas of Bankers Hill at lunch to get out of my law firm and de- stress. I have a two week cruise and want to get my 10 lbs off before I go so my clothes fit again.0

Hi, I'm Audrey and I live out in East County. I just joined MFP and I'm liking it so far! Hopefully some of us can be friends and motivate one another.0

I'm Dave. I am getting acclimated to fully using MFP... The Community feature seems pretty helpful.
I'm a member at the La Jolla YMCA - so if you are too, I have probably seen you there.
I'm excited and motivated for various reasons and hope to lose most if not all of the weight I've put on in the last 6 years.
Friend me if you'd like. The more the merrier.0 -
Hi I'm Val. I moved to San Diego in May and began MFP in July. I changed from outside exercise to a gym in Serra Mesa to avoid skin cancer since it is common in my family.
Looks like many of you take advantage of the great weather and parks in SD.
I love to cook (and eat, too) but continue to compile a good selection of lower calorie recipes.
Great to know there is a group of SD people here. Support is so helpful.
I am looking for employment in career services.

Hi, I'm Dorothy. I live in Hillcrest with my partner, and son. I've been off and on with MFP and my dieting until I learned of my hypothyroidism. Now that I'm being treated for it, I know my attempts to lose weight will be successful. I am happy to chat with anyone, just send me a message!0
