    First name: Lisa
    Where are you from: Houston, TX
    Any pets: 2 dogs, 3 kids and 1 husband
    Work: Product Manager for a Benefits Administration Software company
    Hobbies: Reading, Working out, playing the piano, jewelry making, woodworking
    Fun fact: My husband and I love to travel. Favorite destination so far was Peru. @neepex27, I'm not a picky eater in that I will try just about anything...but I'm picky about what I like. Like the guinea pig in Peru. It's a delicacy there, so of course I had to try it. I didn't like it though. More the spices than the rodent. They were very foreign.

    First name: Kim
    Where are you from: Lived in Michigan most of my life but moved to Montana 6 years ago
    Any pets: I'm a crazy dog lady. I currently have 4 dogs, 3 Border Collie/Staffordshire Bull Terrier crosses (also called Border Staffies in the dog sport world) and one Staffordshire Bull Terrier pup.
    Work: I move commodities. I've done scheduling for natural gas pipelines, I traded power, and I've moved coal via rail and vessel. I currently moved refined fuels via a pipeline. Please no political protests ;-)
    Hobbies: See pets above...I've trained dogs and participated in dogs sports for 25 years. I played a sport called Flyball for 20 and now do agility with 2 of my dogs. I've also recently taken up mountain biking and am full blown addicted!
    Fun fact: I worked at a bungee jumping tower in South Carolina during college and have done upwards of 300 jumps.

    I'm 40 years old, still 50 pounds overweight. 75 days straight on MFP! Lost 30 pounds so far, from 225 to 195, in 17 weeks. Let's all do this together and help each other! I'm excited I've finally found an eating plan that works for me long term. I'm a fast food junkie so I couldn't go TOO healthy and stick to it.

    Hi ladies,
    Turned 41 a couple months ago. Trying to balance it all: 3 young kids, full-time job, a lovely hubby, and then the million other things that require my attention daily. Exercise and nutrition is a huge priority for me and I love that MFP keeps me accountable!
    Have a fantastic day!

    @DropofHoney I have family in New Brunswick, Moncton/Sussex area, would love to go back there someday to visit them. I will never forget the smell of cooking lobster, every time we went to visit when I was a kid, they'd have lobster feasts.

    Thanks for the giggle, about teenage daughter drama, lol. I have teenage boys, and thankful I don't get much drama from them, ha ha.

    Not to one up you both, but mine are one month and 2 days apart. Instead of Irish twins, they are called Virtual Twins.
    One's adopted.
