Hi everyone! Im a crocheter! Im doing the mystery afghan CAL on Bernat.com really having fun with it. Learning a lot of new techinques and actually the first time I read a pattern. It was a lot easier than I thought. Anyway Im here to lose this last 20 pounds once and for all. Last time I signed on I was 4 pounds lighter that I am now so its time to get busy! Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hi all, I'm Meara, a 29 year old marketing coordinator in California turning the big 3-0 in a couple months. Married, 2 dogs, looking to start our family sometime this year. Of course that means I have about 40 more pounds to lose before we try (down 10 right now).

Been crocheting since college, started with scarves, then beanies followed by character beanies (spongebob, mike wazowski, etc), then discovered amigurumi and had fun making a few of those for family members and friends with kids.

Looking to crochet my first bikini once I hit my goal weight.

Hi everyone, I am Lynn and I am a spinner, weaver, knitter and rughooker. I also just picked up an antique circular sock knitting machine. You would think with all my fiber hobbies I wouldnt have time to eat...lol

Edited to add, I joined MFP for support in this long journey I have undertaken.

Hi everyone! I'm a knitter and crocheter who's getting back on the wagon after regaining xx pounds. I was at my goal weight for years, so hope to get back there, but I know the weight won't bounce off the way it hopped on. I'm also on Ravelry, my Rav name is knitviviknit. (I'm Vivian, lillina is my girl-cat's nickname.)

Hi, I"m Linda.. age 56 but whose counting. I've been crocheting off and on for years. Right now I'm working on a crocheted sweater jacket. Half way done, which i hope to finish soon so i can start a baby layette for grand baby #2 coming in September.

Hello all

I've recently taken up fibre crafts again. Just purchased myself a beautiful grey merino fleece that I will turn to yarn for making into many garments. I looked up 'spinning' in the exercise database and was delighted to learn I will be burning around 1000 kcals per hour. Amazing, and that's only using one foot.

Hi, my name is Kristin. I'm 32 years old and have been knitting for over 7 years. My crazy schedule keeps me from eating right and knitting as much as I would like to. I'm trying to slow myself down and get some me time in for exercise and relaxation. Glad to be here. I look forward to participating.

Hello...:flowerforyou:

I have just joined the group. I'm 52, from UK. I love knitting and have several projects on the go... I hope to finish one or tow soon.
Thanks for the group and looking forward to sharing fitness and knitting journey.

Hi I am new here. I joined a few months back but I have been dragging my feet doing anything with the site.
I have been crocheting since I was a little girl, I have just started learning to knit in the last 18 months. I have done lots of projects but not great at any of it.. I can pick up a hook and make just about anything.. it wasn't until I quit smoking that I decided that I needed to learn to read patterns... Then I wanted to learn to knit and thats what I'm doing now.. I currently have a bag in progress, A pair of 2 at a time magic loop socks... I am working on the cuffs and its going very slow.
I would like to join a very active group with people who have simular intersts as I do.. I really don't know how to navigate this site but I did find all of you so I must be making progress... from the way I feel I am sure I have about 30 pounds to loose.... its bitter sweet... I lost 50 and then my life got turned upside down and now I need to get my weight back down again.. I eat good most of the time but I have little time for exercise. I would like a great 15 minute work out for the first thing in the morning and then maybe a quiet stretching work out at night.. that would most likely be floor exercises or yoga.. neither of which I'm very experianced with...
I live in Oregon... a recent empty nester.. We live on the coast and by we I mean my husband and I .. We have a dog.. little doxie.. and a cat... I do caregiving for a living and we are currently looking to relocate.. if we can find a place soon it would be wonderful but it all depends on work and houseing. So it will happen when it does.. most definately before winter...:happy:
I hope to come in here every day. I will have to bite the bullet and step on the scale :noway: and take my measurements. I also see where there is a blog for us to talk in... that will be good... I can ramble and if no one listens it will be fine...LOL
