    I'm originally a Long Islander too! Now I live in Mooresville. Been here since just after New Years. It is so much friendlier down here then it was back in NY. I don't know much about the Raleigh area, but I love the Charlotte area. Some parts are just like back home and others are a bit of a culture shock. The city of Charlotte is really nice. So much cleaner and less crowded (usually) than Manhattan. My first time there someone actually smiled at me as I passed them in the street. A nice change from the stressed out and angry people in NY.

    I am new to MFP and currently live on Long Island, but we have our house for sale and moving to NC sometime by the end of the year! I knew it was time for me to try and get back in shape NOW, as I know the stress of selling a house - buying a house and moving was going to just make me put MORE weight on (I am not one of those people who lose weight when stressed, I turn to comfort food!!!)

    I hope its ok to join this group, even though I am currently a New Yorker. I am excited about our move to NC....it cannot come fast enough!

    We have been back and forth between Charlotte area and Raleigh - but I think we are leaning heavily towards Charlotte right now....anyone have any thoughts/comparisons on the two areas?? I wish I could rent first, but thats pretty tough because we have big dogs (Newfs - German Shepherds) and 3 cats....and I REALLY would not want to think about having to move twice!!! I want to find a nice country setting - room for the dogs, and even considering finding a place where I can have a horse again.....that is something that is helping me push getting into shape again!

    There's tons of fellow Long Islanders here in Charlotte! I moved here from Nassau County back in 1997 and I love it here. Even though traffic sucks, it doesn't compare to the LIE or Old Country Rd in rush hour or spending 3+ hours a day taking the LIRR and subways to get to work! Plus, you can't beat the weather.

    I live in South Charlotte right at the Union County Line. We are less than a mile from Weddington. Great area since we're just as close to rural areas as suburban areas. Anyone else in this area who would like to get together to work out?

    I live in CLT proper and am almost out to Matthews. I've got a 15 min max drive down Monroe Road to get uptown Love it here.... the food is great, and there is always something to do!


    haha, and I work from home, when I am not traveling for my job. Otherwise, I have to drive out to the airport to go to work since I fly 3 weeks per month.

    I live in the Charlotte side of Higland Creek (awesome neighborhood). 4 kids and a great wife. New here and looking for some motivation. Grew up playing sports but that went away with work and kids. Time to kick it back in gear.

    Oh yeah....I have work in the comedy business for over 20 years. Laughter is healthy!

    I live in Huntersville, near the Concord side. We love where we live, but the traffic can be brutal! I am new to My Fitness Pal, but really looking forward to the accountability it entails. I was always fit, until I got married and went to law school. I want my old body back!

    I live in Ballantyne and work in South Park. I really love both of these areas and don't head into the downtown too much since there's a lot to do in these areas.:drinker:

    Bringing the thread back, I guess! I used to be in Rock Hill and Fort Mill areas for a while, finally made it into the city itself, but live right outside of Carowinds Blvd, so still pretty far south! Interested in connecting with people in the area to do fit things with, so feel free to send me a friend request!
