Just wanted to see if anyone here is located in my hometown or here in Hawaii. I would love some in-person support from someone that understands where I'm coming from and my struggle.

I currently live in Kailua on Oahu and was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah.

TTFN!!

    I'm not from there, but I travel there at least 4 times a year. I'm actually heading to the island the last week of April. We will stay in Ko Olina this time. I have stayed in Kailua and I love it there, although like Waikiki, it's getting quite crowded. Feel free to friend me if you like. I hope you find somebody close to you for support! :)

    I live in Roy (right near Ogden), Utah. I lived in North Salt Lake for 10 years. I'm not from the area because I was a military kid and moved all over, but let's just say I understand the area!

    @Beckyhope - Utah is kinda nuts. It's definitely an acquired taste.

    @bmacneil - Where are you staying while here?

    @travelgirl09 - I like the busy-ness of Kailua with the neighborhood feel. I lived on Schofield and North Shore but I like it best in Kailua. Ko Olina is really nice but it just gets so hot all the time. I need the wind and rain here. :)

    I love that there is so much to do on Oahu. Nightlife, good restaurants, hiking, watersports, camping. Lots of festivals and farmer's markets too.

    I love the North Shore, just not much to do besides cruise and beach or both.

    It's definitely unique!
    Let's just say I'm not part of the majority culture and look forward to moving far far away someday and never looking back! :)

    I'm from Philly (and VERY proud of it!) but I have been living here in London, England for the past five years. When I first got here I could not get over how they pronounce some words (herb, aluminium, vitamin) but now they all sound normal to me - guess that, along with my English husband, means I am an honorary Brit now!

    I met my hubby when he was working and living in the US and now he misses living there. And he loves American sports and he was already an Eagles fan when I met him so, you know, I HAD to marry him lol ;)

    I am in Missouri, springfield to be exact. I have never been to hawaii, but have heard wonderful things. I am on day 4 and am doing well so far. I am burning more calories than I am consuming and have not missed a day of exercise and smaller food portions yet. What about you? What day are you on and how are you doing so far?

    In the heart of the U.S here, Wichita, Kansas! lol... I was born and raised 30 minutes south of here tho, in Wellington, Kansas. I decided that the small town wasn't for me tho so at 21 I bailed and never looked back... I have lived in a lot of places in Kansas and 3 places in Missouri, but I still ended up back here in Wichita, so it is home, time to settle down. :)

    There are some wonderful things here in Hawaii but some things are a bit too pricey. Always have the outdoors to rely on and typically warm weather - even when it rains.

    Today I am on day 5. I am just needing to track what I'm doing at this point to see what I can cut out or cut back. I like to go out for drinks quite often and I know that is what makes it hard for me to stay the size I'd like to be. I don't own a scale, but I think if I track everything well I should see results in a couple weeks. I know I need to start walking and riding my bike more and sitting on my *kitten* less.

    Cheers!
