    Moved here in 1997 after growing up in Illinois. I love it here. Except for the 50 days over 100 degrees in the summer. lol

    I moved to Edmond 2 years ago from Upstate NY. My family and I love it here! I even have my niece here from Chicago attending UCO as a freshman this Fall. Some of my favorite places to eat healthy food are:

    BJ's - they have a fantastic under 575 calorie menu
    Cimarron's - You can't beat the price! Steak, green beans & salad are my go to choices
    Charleston's - has a fantastic salmon caesar salad

    I would like to know if anyone will be running in any upcoming 5K races? It would be nice to see a buddy at the race. I ran in the YWCA run on April 26th. Next year, I would like to run in 4 races.

    Please feel free to friend me or email me.

    It's been awhile, but I have had quite a few steaks at Cimarron's. The price is great too. I haven't tried BJ's yet. Sounds like a great place to go. Thanks for the great suggestions.

    Just winding down. Back to work tomorrow. I get to Tulsa occasionally. Like to go to musicals and Broadway shows, etc when they come to town, but don't make it to OKC. Sometimes my employer will send us there for seminars, meetings, etc. Nice town. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend.

    Found out this past weekend that they allow dogs at Bass Pro. So me and the mutt did some walking around in there for a bit, he was quite entertaining at the fish tanks! Went moseying through the clothes section and decided I needed some new jeans. The ones I was wearing I kept having to hitch up. So after trying on clothes with my 70# mutt in the dressing room with me :laugh: I walked out of there with a pair of jeans two sizes smaller than what I walked in with. It was a good day!

    Anyone going to Octoberfest in Tulsa this weekend? We will probably be there on Sunday again with the pooch.

    Has anyone been to any of the haunted houses for Halloween? Some of us from work are going to go to the Ultimate Terrors that used to be JC Pennys at Crossroads Mall here in OKC metro. Looks great.

    Not in OKC. Been to the Nightmare in Tulsa with my niece a couple years back. Very scary.

    Went to the haunted house at Crossroads Mall. Pretty good. It was $20.00 to see all three, but worth it.

    Chellooooo????? Ya'll still meeting in this spot? :glasses: I'm in the Tulsa area and have made a few really good friends on this site! Feel free to add me if you want to (please tell me that you're a fellow Okie).

    Hope all of you have a wonderful rest of the week!

    Hello, Marti. Not a whole lot of activity here it seems. I don't think very many people from Oklahoma saw the original post when it was fresh in the forums. I think I have more Okies on my friend list than have come across this thread. If you know of any more, tell them to come say hi.
    Hopefully when the new "groups" section is available we can set up an Oklahoma group that will be easy for people to search for and find. Nice to meet you!

    Well, I'll chime in again, bump it up in the board so people can see. Plus I like the attention....

    Went to Oktoberfest in Tulsa this past weekend. We took the pup, he had a good time. :) I know this has nothing to do with fitness, but just making small talk today.

    Hellooooooooooo peeps!!

    I am still around.

    What's everyone doing this weekend? Karaoke for me Friday!! WOOT!

    I'm already lovin this thread! I love anyone who can be themselves. Troy is right... Maybe after we are all satisfied no one is a stalker, we should meet for a celebration.

    Jules, where are you doing Karaoke? I miss my band (lost it in the divorce). :angry:

    And Susie, it's okay if you post stuff other than fitness... if someone reading doesn't like it, they can disappear! :glasses:

    Yep, post whatever you want. Anything interesting in Oklahoma someone else might like to know. Nice to see everyone. Have a great night!

    Wow, I was searching for some Okies earlier today, so glad I happened on this thread tonight!

    Moved here from California in 1996, love it here! And, um, well, I'm originally from Los Angeles, so I kinda loved the hot summer we just had. (Sorry). I do NOT like the ice/snow storms, not fond of being that cold! Where I grew up, "snow" was a "PLACE" that you VISITED... "What did you do this weekend?"... "Oh, we went to the snow"... LOL!

    I'm very interested in an MFP gathering, might have to have more than one if we need to split into OKC area and Tulsa area. I could do either one! I'm in east Edmond but get to Tulsa pretty regularly too.

    Thanx Troy for starting this thread! I work at OU Medical Center!

    I'm in OKC, we got some rain this morning but it's pretty much stopped, maybe occasional sprinkles is all now. Guess we sent it your way to Tulsa! Enjoy!

    Was cold this morning, but sunny and pretty nice now. Took some time off this morning from work to go to a Turbo Kick class at the Y. AWESOME. Wish I could do that every day! Was supposed to go to Halloween party at Hard Rock tonight, but my date had family issues. Now trying to find something fun to do instead!

    Happy Friday.

    Susie you could have had fun working out with me. It was terribly exciting. LOL Hope you are having a good evening.

    I am happy to see everyone doing well on this Friday. Yes it has been pretty soggy but we definitely need the rain. And I am happy to have colder temperatures. I can now use my heated mattress cover on my bed. It helps with my back and I sleep so much better.

    Hey Okies, where are you???

    I'm at work in OKC, was just walking between buildings - that weather front is moving in FAST! Clouds are racing!

    Stay Strong, OKIES...

    AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT HALLOWEEN CANDY that your coworkers brought in! Just don't even go to the break room today!

    You'll be soooooooooooooooooo glad you resisted!
