    Hi, I'm Pam. Trying to take my weight loss a little at a time, so my current goal is to reach 195 pounds. I have lost 9 pounds in the last 5 weeks and have 15 more pounds to go. After that...I'll set another goal. Worried that if I make the goal too big, I won't keep motivated. Nice to have some local friends to connect with in getting healthy!

    Congrats on the weight loss. I like to takes 24 fitness classes. It motivates me.
    I go to tech center gym. It's too bad they don't have any kickboxing classes since they are my fav.

    Hello!

    My name is Veronica and I'll be moving to Vancouver in a couple of weeks. I'm not familiar with the area at all. Are there any local hiking/walking trails?

    Hello again!

    I thought I'd better put a little more info about myself.

    Quick stats:
    34 y/o female
    Lost 21 lbs, with much more to go!
    I work out 5x a week (or more) at 24 Hr Fitness
    I love high impact Zumba classes.

    I would be interested in a work out buddy either at the gym, or some great local outdoor trails.

    Take care!

    'knock knock' Is anyone home? Hi! I'm new to MFP after 2 years on WW- one successful, one not so much. I'm here to reinvigorate my weight loss attempt. I started at 234, lowest was 170- 193 right now. I really want to get further away from that 200 mark. I live near Salmon Creek hospital, and have an apartment gym to use anytime. I am a big fan of Jillian Michaels DVD's. I would love some local support, and maybe get together to workout, walk, or just a friendly hello!
    I am 57 and single.

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Sierra and I was raised in Portland. I'm moving back after 12 years away and I'll be there August 1st. I started losing weight about 6 weeks ago and I'll be joining 24 hour fitness when I get there! I would love some local friends or support. Please, beginners though, or people with quite a bit to lose so we can be peers in this!

    First, Sierra WELCOME HOME! As for me, I live in Vancouver and work out most afternoons at Planet Fitness. I'm planning to go back to 24hr in December, however. I'd love a workout buddy if anyone is interested. My goal is to get down to 170lbs by Christmas, and bring my BF% back down into the teens. I have an ultimate goal of competing in a triathlon before I turn 40.
