Newbie in Baltimore

Options
Hey All,

My name is Jennifer, and I am an MFP addict. I downloaded the app on my iPhone because it was the only free one I liked the looks of. It turned out to be the best tracking application or site I've ever used, not to mention the friendly community!

I just moved from Austin, TX to Baltimore, MD. I am really missing TX, but adjusting to life out east. :)

I have two sons and have been married for a little over 8 years.

As far as weight loss, here are my stats:

Starting weight: 240
Currently weight: 233.2
Goal #1: 216
(I will set another goal once I get there)
Eventual goal: to be in the 160s.

Looking forward to getting to know my fellow MFPers!

Jennifer

    Welcome! I live in York, PA...just about an hour north of Baltimore. I went to grad school in Baltimore and it is a great city...I hope it feels like home soon! Best of luck with MFP and achieving your goals!

    Welcome! I'm in the Columbia/North Laurel area so not too far from you (30 min on a good day, lol). You'll find all kinds of great support/tools here. One of the best things I've done for my health is join this site!

    Ooh, York! We were looking at York before we moved out here. I wish we had moved into PA. I think it's more of what we were hoping for. I am a big fan of rural land.

    Thanks for the welcome! :)

    Thanks, Alicia! There are so many cities/neighborhoods around here, it's hard to keep them straight! haha

    We SHOULD do an MFP meetup! It seems like there is a good number of us.

    We could all do a Zumba class with Adelicia at Du Burns Arena. ;)

    I've been going to Putty Hill because it's close to my house. But if Du Burns is better for the majority, I can drive down there. :)
