Champaign Area here and this is the running-est town. You see all walks of life out running at all hours of the day! I know that a lot of the people I know are either not concerned or are but will not motivate themselves to change.
Holy crap! Vickie?0 -
Another Former City Girl checking in, I was raised in Chicago born in Florida and I live right off the Border in Indiana and I work downtown so I’m still a Chicago Girl! It’s good to see all of you here!!!!!!!!!!!0

Illinois here. Not in the best shape...yet.
I'm about 40 minutes west of the city too.
I always get excited to see someone from IL but they're never closer than three hours from me! I'm only about 40 minutes west of the city and I have yet to see anyone from the actual suburbs like I am. It's all down near Peoria.
I'm 40 minutes west of the city as well!0 -
I NEED FRIENDS ON HERE ;AND I NEED HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS!!0

Sullivan here! :-)0

Illinois ( the good part ) born and raised, but presently in exile. I've seen quite a few Illinois folks on MFP. I will say, however, that Chicagoland seems way under-represented compared to southern Illinois. Maybe it's just me, but I've probably seen an equal number of people on here from the southern half, and population distribution would suggest that should not be the case.

I live in Bartlett 40 mins west of the city.....We are you? I've been a MFP member since 2008. :happy:0 -
You should be from Walshville IL if you want to be from somewhere never heard of! Effingham has 3 exits does it not? I have been to weddings in Stewardson and have horse friends in Gibson City, it is a city.0

I used to live in Effingham! Live down by Marion now.0

Chicagoan checking in... I'm surprised Illinois is one of the worst for physical fitness, you'd think with Chicago/the wealthier suburbs, we'd be higher.0

Near O'Hare here! Good Morning to all!!! Always looking for friends from Illinois:) Would be great to have meet up walks at like Busse Woods or somewhere.0

You must be in a metropolitan area, or at the very least a larger community. Here in the sticks, Gibson City, it runs about $35/month for a gym membership. Now, if you want to join the local CrossFit gym, it's like $80/month!
We're in the Bloomington-Normal area. It's about 4 times the size of my hometown!0 -

Westmont, IL here. I've been doing 2-4 miles of jogging/walking from June to today. Always fun to wave to other cyclists and runners I admit to not caring about health while growing up and I've actually felt "bad" about it for a long time, through high school and beyond... but I'm doing something about it now and I'm coming out strong (almost 30 lbs lost in 3 months). 0

Grew up in Westmont and now live just south of Springfield in Chatham. Working hard on my physical fitness and have been running 2-3 miles three days a week lately.0
