Hey all! I just found MFP today and am mainly trying to get healthy and just tone up some. I was reading through where everyone is from and I grew up in North Judson (which is where someone is currently living) and I currently live in Lafayette and have for the last 19 years. I've got three great kids that we homeschool and I also work part time at our church.

Hey all! I'm christy, 29, and live in southern Indiana just a little north of Evansville. I started my journey January of 2011 and have lost 69 pounds so far. It's great to found a group like this!

Hi, my name is Jessica and I'm 31. I have two children and just had a third serrogate last July for a family who couldn't have their own. I live in the rural part of Noblesville (where I was born and raised) after having lived in Indianapolis, Westfield and Carmel over the past 11 years. I find it hardest to find the time to exercise during the week, especially with my daily commute to Castleton for work. I'm also in the advertising business, but I work in promotional products and imprinted apparel as an advertising specialist and consultant for promotional branding (that's the short form - the full description of "what do you do" takes about half an hour or more).

I got my first red flag on a regularly scheduled blood draw last November. I've been on Metformin for insulin resistance for the last 9 years and they require me to do a liver panel every 3 months, but this was the first time I also had elevated blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. The fact they wanted to put me on heart medication made me wake up and realize I just wasn't going to get better on my own. I've been tracking calories since then and have lost 25 lbs so far, but my biggest obstacle still remains finding the time in my busy schedule to get in 30 minutes of workout.

Hey ,
I'm Rachel , 23 , and I am from Fort Wayne - I have lived here all of my life! I just got married 4 months ago - most people try to get fit before the wedding, I decided to do it after...so much less stress!

Hi, Im Vickie. I live in Northeastern Indiana about 20 miles west of Fort Wayne and 15 miles east of Warsaw in a little town named South Whitley. I joined MFP last year and then left for a while. But I'm back and want to continue on to my goal. Thanks for starting this group. Glad I found it.

I totally did not know this group was around here considering I have been on here for roughly 3 months now.

I am Catherine, 28 and have lived in Indiana for all but 3 years of my life. Joined in January when started a whole new determination of helping each other out at work by eating better. This is like my new drug of choice and have stayed pretty religious to keying in foods. Down 20 so far and going for about another 25 by December. Would love to find a running buddy to help continue to push.

Hello to all my fellow Hoosiers. I'm Geyser. I live in Northwest Indiana.

Hi, I'm Kristin - native Pittsburgher who got transplanted to Indiana a little over 5 years ago. I live in the Indy area with my husband and almost 5-year old son. I've been on MFP since February, and have lost 20 pounds so far, but still have a lot to go! I love the support I've found here - it's a great motivator and really helps hold me accountable!

Hello,

My name is Jillian Roth. I am 24 years old and will be 25 years old in June. I am a part time college student. I have some disabilities called Autism, ADHD, OCD, and an anxiety disorder. Even though I have these disabilities, I do not let it stop me from what I want to do in life. I am also very high functioning for someone who has Autism. I live with my mom and my five beautiful cats in South Bend IN home to the fighting irish of Notre Dame. I work three days a week at a workshop for people who have disabilities. I have worked there for almost three years now and I love what I do. I have participated in the annual team logan fun walk and run for the past three summers now. I am hoping that this group can help me train a little bit for the walk. I am also hoping to take walks at our local state park. I hope that I can inspire everyone here to lose weight just like I am doing right now.

Hello Hoosiers! I am 24 and living southeast of Indianapolis! I have a lot to lose so hopefully I can keep the ambition up and going strong!

Feel free to friend me so we can do this together!
