What's up guys. Just joined this group.

Live in middle TN and go to school in west. The main reason I am joining is to promote my blog, add me and check it out if you are looking for good advice and motivation!

Well....I see most of you are in E TN....but I live in the flat lands of Jackson, TN between Memphis and Nashville on I-40! Lived here all of my 49 years! Looking to forward to getting my health back when I turn 50 next year!

Hello I moved to tn in 2007 after I graduated high school and did some college. I am from Ca. I have started my weight loss in jan 2013 since I am done having kids and I am ready to focus on me

Hi all, Knoxville here, moved here a year and a half ago. I recently hit 20% body fat, and in some fit of fitness insanity I want to get down to 10% body fat. It's going to be hard work, but I'm looking for friends to help and lose weight with me.

Hi all! I'm Katie, I moved to Estill Springs 10 years ago from NJ and I LOVE it here! new to MFP so just checkin things out and seeing where i fit in on this site.

Hey Ya'll....I'm in West TN and have lived here all my life. I recently hit the 50 yr old mark and recently quit smoking. I guess better late than never. I have joined FightShop here in Jackson and I loooooove it. Kickboxing. Warming up with some cross fitness and then to the bags with punches and kicks throwing in sprawls, squats, etc in between punches. Beginning to start running. That's going to be while after 29 years of smoking. Just want to get my health back.

Hello! I've lived in East Tennessee my whole life. I'm from the Clinton/Oak Ridge area. I'm 28 years old and a single mom to an 8 year old son. He's definitely my inspiration to get healthy.

Hi Craig, What part of Wi did you live in? I lived in Neshkoro aprox. 45 miles west of Oshkosh.

Hi! My name is Dixie! I was sleeved 3/18 and live in east TN in the beautiful Smoky Mountains! I'm looking forward to using this site daily to stay on track and meet others with similar goals. :-)

Hello! My name Brianna and I moved here in December 2005. I love it here! I live in Bartlett, TN. I'm not a big city girl, so Bartlett really works for me and I'm close to Memphis, so if I do want to go to the city, I'm not far away. I used to live in Florida but my family and I got tired of the hurricanes and the really hot weather. I'm loving the fact that we actually get four seasons up here

Hi...my name is Steph. I am 43 years old and recently single again after the death of my boyfriend. I have 2 teenage boys. I quit smoking 5 months ago and have managed to maintain my weight but really want to get healthy and fit once and for all.
I have been sporadically used MFP but really hope to train myself to use it everyday as a tool to long term success.
Would love a pal in the Jackson area to correspond with.

Wish me luck !!

Chattanooga TN representing. New home of the Chattanooga Ironman!

I love Chattanooga! I'm from Memphis, but try to get to Chattanooga several times a year.

I guess I am wondering if any one still looks at this group, but I am Carole. Been in TN for my entire 34.25 years.

Good morning everyone! just found this group...shortly after figuring out that MPF had groups xD
Anyway! I'm a Chattanooga transplant from West TN since this July and loving it to death so far and will be likely where I put down roots for myself. Anyway, I'm 28 years old, a loving dog mom, and a Zumba fanatic - feel free to add me but just say you came from here if you do

Hi all!

I moved to TN (near Dyersburg) for a work transfer in June. I'm a carnivore (i.e. I don't eat plants... this is different than the "Ron Swanson" type carnivore that eats baked potatoes and is doing it wrong), type 1 diabetic, and a runner.

Since I've moved to this region, I've signed up for some races already in the general area so I can knock off more states for marathons. Here are the marathons I plan to run (I would love to meet fellow runners in TN or elsewhere):
9/1 - Tupelo Marathon -Tupelo, MS
9/21 - Air Force Marathon - Dayton, OH
10/13 - Chicago Marathon - Chicago, IL
11/3 - Marshall University Marathon - Huntington, WV
11/9 - Indianapolis Monumental Marathon - Indianapolis, IN
11/10 - Louisville Marathon - Louisville, KY
12/7 - St. Jude Memphis Marathon - Memphis, TN
12/14 - Rocket City Marathon - Huntsville, AL
12/31 - New Year's Double Day 1 - Allen, TX
1/19 - Louisana Marathon - Baton Rouge, LA
2/9 - Donna Marathon - Jacksonville, FL
4/18 - Blue Ridge Marathon - Roanoke, VA

Even though it is a bit of a drive, I've found that I really enjoy going to Memphis on weekends and running at Shelby Farms Park. Meeman Shelby State Forest also seems a pretty good place to run. I'm open to other suggestions of beautiful and fun places to run.
