I would like some more friends!! Anyone from Michigan (and of course any other state) feel free to add me, I am a 23 year old mother of two. I am currently 197.5, and looking to get to 145ish! I dont need people with the same weight goal or close to the same weight as me, we are all here to lose weight. I want some more support, ideas, and everything that come with having new friends :) Thanks in advance!!!!

    Well, although we don't need to have the same goals... we do! I started at 200lbs... when I saw that number on the scale I about flipped out. Thought, HELL NO!! Get into gear girl! I've lost 10.5 since I started in mid-January. Just gonna keep going until I am not "obese" anymore. Want to be healthy! I'm here for you!!!

    Hi, I'm in the Lansing area.
    During this time of year my new favorite exercise is mall walking. Not sure where you are but our malls have a Pacers club. The Lansing Mall interior is 1 mile, you log on a public list how many miles you do a day. It's kinda neat-I've really just started and go 2 to 3 times a week and am up to 3 miles each time. Anything like that in your area?

    I'm from Michigan, too, about 10 miles or so from Lansing. I just joined MFP a couple of days ago, so I'm still learning my way around the site. I'm starting out at 255 pounds. I joined a weight loss challenge here in my area, and some of the participants use this site and told me about it. Loving it so far!

    Michigander here as well! Currently Walled Lake (Novi area-ish) but a former Ann Arborite / U of M alum.
    Right now I'm at about 204 - was 202 before vacation this past week - would love to be 150 or so to start out. Lowest weight I can remember being in the past 5 years or so was 165, but it was because I lost a lot of weight when I was diagnosed with Crohn's - which presents a whole nother set of eating problems, as I try to avoid dairy and also pop and things with a lot of caffeine.
