    Wow, been on the site forever, just now joined the Ohio group :laugh:

    I was born and raised in Akron (Bath, near Fairlawn). I spent about 10 years in VA and 12 years in WA before moving back home about 2 1/2 years ago. Still in the Akron area :smile:

    Hi fellow Ohioans! I live halfway between Dayton and Cincinnati. Preparing to batten down the hatches for the storms they are saying will be hitting later today.

    I am in Dayton, about. I am a geek, a Christian, an animal lover, a stepmom, a wife, an artist, a chef and work part time. I'd love to meet new people with similar interests. I'm still trying to find an exercise I can enjoy, but I'm thinking about recreational sword fighting. I used to love it. Yep, I guess I'm weird.

    Happy Sunday everyone. How is everyone enjoying the weather? At least it is starting to warm up a bit from the cold front that went through with all the rain/storms last week. I've posted here before, but I'm looking for some more active members for MFP friends & cheerleaders. I'm from Union County Ohio in the small town of Raymond. I'm near Marysville and work on east side of Columbus. Anyone doing any 5K's in Franklin County this year? I think some friends of mine are going to check out the Neon Dash on Saturday, May 31st. This will be my first one and hopefully not my last. I pray that it's a good summer full of new friends, good eating, and lots of exercising!

    Hello everyone! I'm 26, live in Columbus, and this is my second attempt with MFP. I found success the first time, but fell off the wagon after a couple years from switching jobs and moving. I'm not sure what else to say about myself, but I look forward to talking to you all!

    Hi, I'm Kathy and I live in West Chester. I've been off the site for a bit and I'm back now. I work out at Ideal Fitness and attend a Boot Camp in Blue Ash. I have a long way to go to reach my goal, but I wasn't getting there with just the exercise. I know now it's healthy eating and working out! Motivation from others goes a long way, so please post to my inbox and I'll do the same!

    Hello Ohio. I am from Originally from Dayton, Oh but I working Cincinnati. I am hoping to relocate back to Dayton via my job as I can work anywhere. I miss Dayton and recently separated from my wife and hope to end up in Dayton. I work out 5 to 6 days a week as a cyclist and looking to hookup with cyclist in the Dayton area to work out with. I average about 20 miles a day sometimes I do light days of no more than 10 and long rides on the weekends. with a rest day or two in between. I average between 100 hundred and 120 miles per week depending on how my job goes. I can make up the miles on the weekends. Looking for like minded riders to ride with a lose a few more pounds as I'm not the most disciplined eater.

    Greetings from Gahanna -- that's a suburb of Columbus. I love our state, even if it is a bit football-crazy for my taste. It's funny that the rest of the country associates us with cows and corn fields, but I am a city girl all the way. I have a fantastic husband and an adorable son who just turned two. I'm a huge nerd who works in IT for a local hospital system. I'm also kind of artsy by nature. I paint, sketch, write, creative writing, and I'm a voracious reader.

    In the past it's been very difficult to stay fit due to having such a sedentary job and an inclination to spend even more time in front of a computer once I get home. Thankfully I've been promoted to a position supporting end users out in the field, and that allows me to move around a lot more throughout the day.

    My primary motivation has been my son. He seems to get faster every day and I want to be able to keep up with him! I want to stick around for a long time to watch him grow and have kids of his own, and I think my best chance at making sure that happens is to give my lifestyle a major overhaul. Unfortunately, genetics are working against me. All the women in my family are obese. Both my mother and my grandmother had gastric bypass surgeries, and I want to break the chain and lose weight through a healthier diet and regular exercise.

    I've been using MFP for 30 days, coupled with a Fitbit Flex, and so far I'm very enthusiastic. It really seems to take the mystery out of weight loss. There's a "numbers in, numbers out" sort of logic to it that I can really wrap my head around!

    Hi, I am new to the area and getting back on MFP. I used it with exercise and discipline to lose 125 lbs but unfortunately have gained 75 lbs back. Losing weight is about being selfish. I have tried many of diets and have come to the realization my body doesn't care how much or how little I eat. I need to get off my *kitten* and move. We moved to Sunbury in January and things have been crazy hectic since but with the kids getting back into school next week I need to find some support both online and hopefully in real life to meet up with work out/walk and chat. I am a member of Kore7. My availability is pretty open. Hope everyone enjoys their journey.

    I understand where you are at and I would love to help you! Well actually we can help eachother. I recently moved to Medina and have been looking for supportive friends. I have had some serious health issues and that led me to be out of shape. Would love to run a 5K and a 10K this year. Who knows maybe we can run the Akron Marathon (they have 5 and 10K raes also) together this spring. Hoping to see you at the finish line!
    And as for your man...his loss... you are beautiful, strong, and courageous.... it taskes guts to rebuild after something so devistating. I know I lived it also but I am here to tell you... if someone doest build you up then they tear you down.... stay strong!

    I'm from Mineral Ridge, right outside of Youngstown. I've got health issues too, which have slowed me down, but I'm still plugging away. I really love MFP...so many supportive people on here!

    Hi Folks! I was here about year ago when I lived in NW Ohio but now I live in an eastern Cleveland suburb and could really use some help with motivation and staying on track! Any Cleveland east siders out there to join me in my fitness journey? Anyone LA Fitness members out there? (legacy village)
