    Good morning all! I live in Fort Collins but not a native to the area. I'm originally from Arkansas and that lifestyle took a toll on my life for over 25 years. I am a member at Miramont Lifestyle Fitness and am enjoying being in the gym along with consulting with a nutritionist. I love the outdoors and looking forward to the summer so I can do some hiking and exploring of what this beautiful state has to offer! Also looking forward to meeting some great people with similar goals in creating a better, healthier life.
  • Hello all! I live in Mead and I am a SAHM. I have been on MFP for about a month now and I love it! I quit smoking a year ago and was amazed at how much weight I gained...not to mention the other weight I had to lose to begin with :) I have about 70+ lbs I want to lose and am always looking for some motivation to keep going on this journey.

    Hello,

    I live in Fort Collins and looking for workout/ motivation buddies in the area. I have a lot of people on my list from all over the country, but would love to meet up to do some workouts locally. Any dog lovers here? Would love a dog walk buddy for the beautiful trails here in Fort Collins. Thanks!

    Hi Brandi,
    I live in Ft Collins but go to the lake #5 that my son is a member of. I'm trying to eat right for a 70 year old but find it hard living alone and too sedentary. Am trying to cook more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  • Hi all my name is Pete and I'm happy to be here with all of you.
    I live in north Loveland and work in Fort Collin.
    10 year old son lives with Mom in Fort Collins.
    Drop me a note sometime.

    Hello, I am Tanis and I live in Greeley. I have pretty much always been overweight, but need to get myself together and lose some weight/become fit. My goal is to run several miles (or just 1) without keeling over. I love Zumba, but haven't been able to go to many classes. I am very much a "peer-pressure motivates me" kind of gal, so this group sounds excellent. I hope everyone is doing well and succeeding in their fitness goals. Cheers!

    Hello! I am also in Greeley, West Greeley to be exact!!

    I have been MIA lately recovering from a back injury.. BOO! I have been using MFP for a good 4 years now and have to say for the past year or so I have been on and off with my weight loss journey. But, I'm back and ready to kick butt!

    Hello, I'm Rebekah. I live in Berthoud and work in Loveland. I'm a busy mama and wife with kids 19-9 years old and work crazy hours. I need to eradicate at least 40 pounds. I absolutely love living in Colorado. One of my favorite things to do is go hiking. I haven't done nearly enough this summer! This weekend we went to Estes and hiked the Beaver Meadow Loop. I'm looking forward to getting as many hikes in as I can before it snows, although I just might get some snowshoes! I just started running again after not being able to for a year because of back issues. I have a lot more luck getting strength exercises in at home than getting to the gym. I'm currently doing Piyo. Well anyways, hi everyone!

    Hi! My name is Jim. I live in Longmont and work in, technically, Westminster. It is just south of Jeffco airport off of 287 in one of the Tech parks. I am 63, and am told I do not look anywhere nearly that old. Yay for that, right? haha Anyway, I am eating healthier, and am bikiing when I can. Right now my goal is 2-3 days per week, but I really want to do more than that. I have worked my way up to just over 16 miles, and hope within the next few weeks to be able to ride to Hygiene and back. That would be a roughly 25 mile round trip. I also walk at times, but prefer biking. Anyone in the Longmont area who would like to ride with me, let me know. And of course, if you're in NoCo, let's be friends!

    Fort Collins / NoCo Area... Hi! Are there any who might be interested in starting a group to go on hikes and bike rides? There are so many trails and bike paths out there waiting to be experienced...and our summer is quickly slipping away! I often go biking on my own, but sharing it with like minded people would motivate me and get me doing it more often. Good old fashion picnic lunches are my favorite. However, I have no objection to the occasional 'let's bike for lunch or coffee' kinda destination rides.

    Don't be shy (like I can be) about giving hiking or biking a try. I know what it is like to hesitate to do something like this because of not sure of what to expect. I am not expecting anything. I only want to share with like minded people who love Colorado. If you are afraid your might be too slow or fast, I say don't worry. Because firstly, my objective is to get outside and moving and share it with others. So, please don't be reluctant because you don't know what to expect. We will all figure this out. Friend or IM me, please and post here but be forewarned I might miss a post here, it's happened :D

    I am hoping we can set up a regular day and time to meet up. Bi-mthly or even monthly. And if anyone is really eager, I can commit to weekly.. Did I just say weekly :o (Yes, I like humor;)

    About me...My fitness level is good.
    I can't run a marathon but I can run a slow mile, unless there is a bear behind me. I tend to run for 1-4 mins then walk for a few and run again...walking is too slow for me :(
    I can easily bike 10 miles, even if my bum says otherwise.
    I am a SAHmom, who's youngest is 17 and married to a wonderful man. I just turned 50 this year, but feel like I am 47 ;)



    *Our daughter works and would love for me to take her pouch on walks, so this is another option too. Her dog is a husky mix and a real sweet rescue Female pouch.
