I just started MFP about a week ago and would love to have some friends on here who live in or near SF. It would be nice to have people who are familiar with certain places, foods, events, etc. I'm hoping to lose upwards of 50lbs so any local support I can get would be great! Please add me if you're interested. Thanks!

    Don't worry, sometimes it is slow on the chat lines. I am actually over in Oakland and I am looking to lose 30# by July for my wedding. It is amazing how it just sneaks up on ya... We can all do this together!!

    Just getting back into this. I'm in Livermore. I've got a near term goal of losing what I can and getting into better shape before my Hawaii trip in June, and in better still shape for upcoming surgeries, and hope to use that as a springboard to be able to maybe lose ALL the weight I'd like to (but I'd settle for 50 lb gone). I could use some encouragement, and have it to offer.

    I grew up in the bay area, plus I have two kids. Does that count?

    I'm new to MFP (3 days!)...I live in the North Bay (Fairfield) but was born and raised in Berkeley/El Cerrito so I am a SF Bay Area native. Feel free to read my profile and add me as a friend, I love meeting new people and, being a nurse (although not working right now), I love to encourage others :smile: !!

    Yep, I'm in the TriValley area too! LifestyleRx is where I work.
