    I am a NC girl transplanted to Bellingham, WA (north of Seattle). I have to say that the lean, fresh food and healthy lifestyle here do make it easier, as do our fantastic summers. But we just came off 5 months of STRAIGHT RAIN so thank your lucky stars you don't have to deal with THAT! No one loses weight here in the winter - we all just huddle inside and watch Netflix :)

    Hello, I'm from the south, Orlando, FL now residing in Sacramento, CA and boy do I miss my southern food, they just don't do it like they do it in the south. I too am on a journey to lose a substantial amount of weight. Over a hundred plus pounds if I'm too lose my curent "obese' title.

    Congratulations for your current weight loss, you've done a phenomenal job. Keep going. Just know that your story inspires others. I'm inspired and can not weight until I too can post my 40+ pounds loss.

    Continue your journey to your goal weight. You can do it. Hopefully these posts will be enough encouragement to keep your throughout your journey. You may add me as a friend if you like.

    God bless.

    Pan handle of Tx here-- what do you mean how do I want my tea??? only way it comes iced, sweet and in a large glass with the pitcher on the table!!!!

    but we can already have a garden in, an orchard and all sorts of yummy fresh stuff way earlier than those poor Narthern folks do.


    Good Luck in your quest.

    I'm originally from NC and now live in Chicago. Going home for Christmas wrecked my diet (but it's my own fault! I needed to get my Bojangles in while I was there)!!

    Best of luck!! It is hard to lose weight in the south without feeling like you are giving up a lot and/or missing out on a lot too.

    Born and raised here in Fort Worth, Texas. I would love for anyone to add me. I love my southern comforts but they do not look good on me!

    I am from Texas and we just had our annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where you can find anything fried! I'm talking about deep fried twinkies, deep fried ice cream, deep fried brownies, deep fried snickers, and the list goes on. LOL

    Feel free to friend me. I live in Miss Gulf Coast and I'm 27 lb down with about 120 left to go. My faves happen to be sweet tea, jambalaya with andouille, biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, and shrimp poboys. Blah you just can't make those healthy. :sad:
