    Hi Crystal!
    I am Lotte, I am Brittish! I live in a town called Hemel Hempstead, just North West of London.

    I love my rugby as well as my job! I too am the youngest of three girls and enjoy shopping.

    I can't stand fashion as i think not only is it an advocate fo tthe size zero, I also think it encourages people to pay huge amounts for something they could get at a budget price in the shop next door. (saying that i do have over 100 pairs of shoes)

    I love my curves, i just think they have got a little out of hand recently, so here I am!

    My name is Edward, and I live in Hattiesburg, MS. I'm a 25 year old nerd that likes computers, video games and buying books. I have one older brother. As a younger kid I used to be skinny, then puberty hit, developed a monstrous appetite and gained lots of weight. Now I'm skinny again and going to keep it that way... although I'd like to tone up a bit more though. For now I work as a Software Developer so I sit around for long hours of the day, so I make sure to keep activate after I get off work. I think that's mostly it.

    Hi,
    I'm Venessa. I am a mother of 4 children, three of whom I acquired by marriage. I love to relax and enjoy the finer things in life. I like being around positive and up beat people. I find it necessary to think about my life and reflect on it. I want to lose weight and fee comfortable in my skin and clothes. I have a husband who adores me...just the way that I am. I like me and where I am in life but know that there is always room for improvement.

    Hi all, I'm Polly. I am 56, going on 39 ;) I have two adult daughters, a fabulous 4-yr-old grandson, 5 sisters and 2 brothers! I've been single for a number of years, and it's been very good for me (after a very difficult marraige.)

    I love music......I sing at church, with a 6-piece Dance band, in the shower, in the car, and generally to myself whenever a song is on that I like (is that annoying to non-singers??? lol)

    I live in northern Minnesota, and I generally love this area. I adore walking on a crispy fall day, I am getting into snowshoing, love to dance and act silly and go to plays and parties. Of course, I love to eat........but am getting closer each day to the weight on my driver's license (yeah, I lied pretty big on that one ;)

    I love Football and am a Vikings fan......and I hope to heck that we kick the Bear's buttinskis tonight! I love MFP, and the way it's changing my life..........this place has been such an inspiration to me, and I FINALLY found out it's not HARD to lose weight!!!

    Much success to you all!

    I'm Rachel. I'm a bit of a travel addict (visited 11 countries in 4 years - all before I was 23). I studied in Germany and Austria during college and lived in Rome for seven months from Aug '10 to March '11.
    I actually put this in the random facts thread yesterday, but I triple majored in college. I studied Intercultural Studies, have a BA in both trombone and piano, and also minored in German. Yes, what you're thinking is correct: I had no life in college :embarassed:
    Mmmm I've lived in 7 different cities in the 6 years since college: a small town in the Adirondacks in NY, my hometown in western NY, 3 places in CT, Springfield, MA, Rome, and now Charlottesville, VA. The whole time in CT and Mass I had the same job, I just moved for cheaper rent :laugh:
    Right now I'm trying to find some piano students and also get approved for Substitute Teaching. I like teaching and probably should have gotten an education degree, but for now subbing will do. I enjoy the randomness of it.

    Edit: I'm also a huge soccer fan: AS Roma, New England Revolution, Arsenal, and the US National Team!

    My name is Crystal too! I'm 23, and I work as a research specialist and lab manager in a genetics lab at a university. I got my undergrad there and worked there for the past few years, though I plan to attend graduate school and get a PhD in Molecular Cancer Biology or something thereabouts (still looking at diff. programs). I have a mom and a sister, and I consider my moms boyfriend a father figure because he is an amazing man. I have an SO that I have been with for 7 years, two ball pythons and a bearded dragon, and one day I would like to have a cat. I love to talk to people, love to make new friends, and generally try to be an amazing person :p

    Crystal, this is such a cool topic idea... I like it!

    I'm Robyn. I am australian but live in the US. I am a neuroscientist and I work at a university. I am a real introvert so I don't really have friends - I'm quiet and that seems to get interpreted as being stand-offish, which sucks! I find social activities tiring and difficult. So I'm online a lot...

    I play golf (extremely badly) because my boyfriend got me into it. Now I'm hooked.... I drink coffee by the bucket and eat a lot of baked goods and other desserts. I ate a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's today. Alas.

    Hi my name is Sharon. I live in Texas and I am an RN. I have been married for 12 years to the most wonderful man. I have three kids, twin boys that are 25 and an 17 year old daughter. I had my twins at 16 so I will be starting my second childhood as soon as my daughter graduates. Woo Hoo!

    My husband and I love to camp, travel, hike, bike and run. We do everything together. We don't really have any close friends because we love to be with each other all if the time.

    I'm a very thoughtful and generous person (I get this from my dad) I love old movies like grumpy old men and old chevy chase movies. I love music; hip hop, pop and dance. I am a little obsessive compulsive and so is my husband so it works out perfect for us. 

    Anyways that's me. 

    How do you like charllottesville-- enjoyed my stay near there in the early 90's.... but I was single and younger than...

    It's pretty cool, and absolutely gorgeous. A lot different than everywhere else I've lived. Unfortunately it's been really tough to meet people, since I'm not a UVA student. I'm super shy, so I've been struggling in my attempt to break into the overly well-defined social circles. But overall, I like it.

    Hi! (waves). My name is Trina. I will be 25 in just a matter of days. I have a 9 month old VERY smart little boy. Stay at home mom (not by choice. damn you economy!). Very outgoing but I have my days where I'm reserved and absolutely don't want to talk to anyone. I recently moved back to Richmond, VA (I grew up here)..but every bone in my body wants to make the move back to NYC.

    Hmm...I think that's it!

    Hi there! I'm a traveler, a dreamer, a reader, a friend, a laugher, an optimist, a pet-lover.

    I'm a mom, wife, sister, and a lover (of lots of people, places and things). I'm smart, but not too smart. Active but not too active. A believer who doubts.

    I love music and art, clean air and water, and sand between my toes.

    I love a good meal paired with the right glass of wine.

    Tell us who's next?

    I think VA is most like Germany of any place I've been in the states.

    Hi! I'm Janette. I'm 41, married 18 years and have a 14yo and 11yo sons. I work from home with my own business doing taxes and finance. My hubby works for the federal government and is currently in Afghanistan. We've gotten used to the time apart. Since we've been married he spent 14 months in Iraq (Nat. Guard), 18 months in Kuwait (contractor), 9 months in Afghanistan (been there since Feb), and 2 months in Germany while I got the house ready to move.

    We've lived in MI (grew up there), AZ (2004-2009), Ramstein Germany (2009-2010), and have been in central VA near Richmond since last Oct. I've visited 10 countries and 25 states.

    Hello :smile:

    I'm Sophia, im 19 years old and i live in Mid-Wales! (Originally born in Stoke-On-Trent, England). I have a brother who is 10, therfor i am the oldest! =( I work in a clothes shop in my hometown, I also help out at our primary school doing lunch times when staff are off sick. I am qualified in Child Care and am currently looking for a full time job as a teaching assistant, or work with children with special needs! :)

    I have piled on the weight in the last 6 years, bullying all thro high school is the main cause of the binge eating i used to do! 2011 was a new year for me, ive lost close family through cancer, and alot of them have diabetes, and i dont want to follow the same path as them. So nows my chance to loose the 90lbs i need to before i get down to my goal weight. which my BMI will be at healthy weight, soo then i will maintain my weight :)

    I'd like to wish you al the best in your weightloss journey, if anyone of you would like a little extra motivation/support feel free to add me :happy:
