Opposite my situation when I was 22 yrs old and going to school in Nova Scotia, Connecticut being my home.
That's hilarious! My family is based in Ontario, but I did my undergrad in Halifax, at Dal/the University of King's College.

Hehe. Well, I was an undergrad at the time, so to complete the circle I would now have to follow through with my plans and complete grad school in Toronto (my boyfriend lives there). If you're in Connecticut I'm still at least a good hour from wherever you are since I'm in what's considered no-man's land of Connecticut, but it's still funny to see someone say they're in Connecticut (even if I am part of the group) since it's such a small, densely populated state.0 -
1. Marcella, 57, married, 2 adult sons, Georgia, USA
2. Current weight is 170.2 - MFP starting weight Dec. 2014 was 192.5 - Ultimate goal range is 129 to 135.
3. Goal weight: Ultimate goal range is 129 to 135. Goal for this challenge is 157.
Exercise: I use to try to work out at the gym. But in an effort to reduce stress (which helps me stick with my goals) I cancelled my membership and now I focus on what I enjoy and what needs to be done. So you will see me posting exercise for gardening, hiking, swimming, walking and housecleaning. As long as I am staying active, it seems to work well for me at this point.
Diet: I focus on whole foods and avoid processed (especially highly processed) items. I do fine as long as I am sticking with this. When I get lax with this I start feeling bad and everything becomes more difficult and I ask myself again "what was I thinking?"
4. I find that 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night and attempting to keep a more orderly schedule makes all the difference in how easy or difficult everything else will be for me.0 -

1. Name, Age, Marital Status, Children, Where do you live?
Rachel, 29, Single, no children, Cincinnati, Oh
2. Weight and how long have you been on MFP?
261 lbs and I've been on MFP off and on for a couple years but I'm really trying to stick to using it as a weight loss tool this time.
3. What is your goal weight and what type of exercise and diet do you use?
My goal weight is 150 but I'll see how I feel at about 170. I have been doing a ton of hard walking and some strength training. I eat mostly whole, clean foods throughout the week. My weekends I splurge a little, including alcohol (currently trying to come up with a plan to not let my weekends ruin what I've done throughout the week).
4. Any other information you would like to share!
I feel like this is the first time in really going to lose the weight! I'm making so many lifestyle changes that I know I can stick with. I just need to adjust my weekends a little bit (I love beer and wine!). I have over 100 pounds to lose so I could use all of the support I can get!0 -
1. Name, Age, Marital Status, Children, Where do you live?
Caroline, 27, Single, none, Connecticut.
2. Weight and how long have you been on MFP?
Current weight is 131.5, joined in 2013. Took a break, and started again this spring at 150.
3. What is your goal weight and what type of exercise and diet do you use?
Goal weight is 112, I usually do a mix of cardio and strength exercises. I am vegetarian, so try to get protein and lots of vegetables. I also LOVE fruit.
4. Any other information you would like to share!
I have a horse and a dog. I did college sports (soccer, swimming, lacrosse), and banged myself up well doing them, so have lots of old injuries that act up on occasion (ankle, knee being the most common). I also compete in Flyball with my dog. Oh, and I'm a twin, she is also in this group. I'll let you guess. XD0 -
1. Name, Age, Marital Status, Children, Where do you live?
Nicole, 28 y/o, married, no children, Los Angeles CA
2. Weight and how long have you been on MFP?
Currently 207 pounds and I've been on MFP for over a year (on and off again)
3. What is your goal weight and what type of exercise and diet do you use?
Goal weight is 150 lbs. I like to do Billy Blanks Tae Bo Boot camp 55 min DVD first thing in the morning 3-4 times a week followed by 20 min of yoga. On the days I don't do Tae Bo, I like to go for a walk/jog followed by yoga. Walk/jog, to me, means walk 2 min, jog 3 min, repeat for 30 min. As for diet, I like to eat 5-6 small, low calorie, high nutrient meals every 2-3 hours so I never actually get super hungry. When I let myself go too long without eating, I tend to head straight for fast food and/or junk food. Every meal has some kind of protein and a complex carb (veggies or brown rice).
4. Any other information you would like to share!
Just started college classes up again for the Fall semester so I've been kind of slacking on my diet and exercise while I get acclimated to my new schedule.0
