Hi everyone!
I signed up for this service quite some time ago, and am now just getting back to it. I live in Wisconsin, where cheese & beer are an essential food group all their own. I am looking to gradually lose weight so my knees won't hurt. I am a librarian by trade, and will be presenting this site to a group of nursing & health sciences faculty next week as part of "Appy Hour" (demo & discuss mobile health & medical apps).

Support would be welcome & reciprocated! :D

    I lived in Wisconsin years ago... butter and cheese are still two of my favorite food groups. I will actually be travelling to Wisconsin this weekend. Welcome back to MFP...

    Ah Wisconsin, the land of beer, brats, and cheese...it's so hard to avoid! Especially for me, I go to a lot of Badger and Packer games this time of year. Feel free to friend me!

    I'm a Minnesota expat to SE Wisconsin! The cheese & beer sure do flow a little more over here!

    Born and raised Wisconsinite here! My blood runs green and gold and deep fried cheese curds are my kryptonite. :)

    Hi, I'm Cat and I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and went to school in the UP at NMU. So I, too, completely understand the beer & cheese & brats thing. Currently living in Utah which has the most archaic liquor laws in the nation, as you may have heard.

    In my case, I need to get a better handle on my nutrition. I eat well, but too much, I suppose. I've just joined a gym after not working out for a year. We do Hi Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) which is hard, but quick. And today I took my first-ever Spin Class; Boy, was that tough for an old gal like me (I'm 54).

    Hey, wasn't that a great game last Thursday at Lambeau?

    Go Pack!
