Hello! I was born in Iowa, but have lived in Owatonna (about an hour south of the cities) since I was two, so I think that should qualify me. Unless something goes drastically haywire, I'm probably moving to Texas some time this year to live with my boyfriend - some day I think it'll be a great change, but other days I think the sweltering heat and lack of beautiful outdoorsiness will make me cry.

I'm originally from Superior WI now living in Golden Valley MN :happy:

Hey, SoupTown
I'm from Duluth.........across the bridge from your former neighborhood :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I am born, raised, and currently reside in South Minneapolis. Very new to MFP, but so far I find it valuable. Sometimes it gets frustrating trying to find the right category and portion of the food you search, so I am getting used to that. I work with a trainer once a week at Lifetime and recently did metabolic rate and anabolic threshold tests which have been very helpful in determining how many calories to consume and how to work out effectively to burn the most fat calories. 2012 is the year I get my weight loss in the done column!!! Glad to see the support online. Stay focused and pick yourself up when you fall off the wagon. Peace.

Hi Everyone!

I'm Megan, I grew up in Rosemount. I moved around for a few years and now have been in South St Paul for the last 6 years.

I started running this year and have totally fallen in love with it. I am terrified of what I am gonna do when the snow finally comes. Any other runners who can offer me some tips? How late into the season do you run outside? I am going to do it for as long as I can take it!

I do nearly all my running out in the sticks on gravel roads and narrow shouldered county roads where I live, I heard that there are strap on cleats that are designed for running, I was going to either find a set of those, or add studs to an older pair of running shoes. and wear smart wool socks. other than that, I guess I will take it as it comes. I started Running in June and I need to train all winter because I plan on Running 30 miles in May.

I trained for a half marathon last year from Feb- June...all outside you can do it...just dress warm!! If you need layering tips message me and I'd be happy to help!

Hi everyone! My name is Lisa and I am Originally from St. Lucia but reside in Oakdale, MN for over 16 yrs.

Hello there! We live in the Princeton/Zimmerman area. I do work part-time with Venture Travel, LLC which is located in Eden Prairie. My husband and I both just recently joined myfitnesspal. One of my on-line red hatter friends from TX informed me of this site. Since I am a very visual person, this site has been very beneficial for me. It's been a real eye-opener for both myself and my husband.
