    I think that reply feature is a little silly too. I notice some people start their post with the previous person's post or their name. Who knows if they notice or not.

    I think I figured it out, though it's not easy. you click Quote then move to the end of the post and enter your response. it is pretty awkward.

    HI! I am a member of a gym, and I try to get there 5 times a week. My favorite thing to do is lift weights. I tried to enjoy running, but it turns out, I can't get past hating it. :) I still do it occasionally, in intervals on my long cardio days, but usually do the stairmill after lifting most days.

    Hello everyone, I am from CA. and moved here last year. What a change. I am starting to adapt. I'm trying to lose another 50lbs, and very active. I go to the YMCA 6 days a week. I should say the most part, and I work and go to school full time on both. I love what I do, but its time for a career change, something stable and something that I can excell in. and yes I'm in Omaha. this city is nothing like where I have been born and raised in, It is much calmer and more enjoyable with out the snow that is......

    Thanks. I feel silly not getting it before. ;)

    I'm Cindy. I have lived in Omaha my entire life, except for a year that I lived in Blair for work. But I'm back where I belong! I had mainly been in the industrial field of work, which has those long weird work hours, but after becoming a single mother, I needed more "banker" hours. So, I quit my great job, moved us back to Omaha and went to school for a year. Got my Associates in Applied Sciences degree (in Medical Office Management) and am now job hunting.

    I have always been a little heavy. Now I'm just plain out of control. I've turned pre-diebetic and hypertensive. I have ostio-arthristis in both knees (usually my excuse for not exersicing....) and gout in the ankles. All this can be controlled---->if (when) I gain control of my weight.

    My inspiration: My beautiful 2 Y/O daughter. I want her to be proud to show her mommy off. I want her to grow up self confident (no matter what size she is) and have the tools to control her weight, if she needs it.

    It's great to be here.....friend me! :bigsmile:

    Hello to Everyone that has joined! I, too, have been crazy busy! I go to school full time and I work part time, so I am always doing something.

    I am in this group and in the Just Dance 3 group if anyone has the game and wants to join us!!

    Is everyone enjoying the weather? I am afraid that since it's been so nice, we are gonna get dumped on eventually. :noway:

    Gotta go dance now! Thanks for all of your posts! It is great to know that we are all over the state and going thru the same things :smile:

    Hello everyone! I'm Jenn, I am 22 years old, and I just joined about five minutes ago lol. I have lived in Omaha my entire life. I am currently 234 pounds and want to lose at least 50. I am anxious to get started to lose this weight because let me tell you I am so tired of not fitting into anything that I would want to wear. I lack motivation so I am hoping to keep my morale up to keep on going and to help others stay motivated to because I feel like its much easier when you have someone supporting you and doing it with you. My plan is to use Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 for my first month along with eating about 1800 (healthy) calories a day. I also use my wii fit and wii dance games to help with the entertainment part of it. I wish everyone all the luck and motivation in the world WE CAN DO IT!!!!

    Hey BigDaddyNE. Great goal for running in GI for 5k. When is that? I live in Kearney and could head over to cheer you on or run with you.
