    Feel free to ad me, Laura!

    I love lake Calhoun, it's beautiful. One of the things I really want to do is learn to skate so I can skate around that lake in the summer. =)
  • Hi all,

    Just joined this site and was surprised to find a MN group! Awesome! I live in the northern suburbs and am looking forward to some summer road races! We signed up for a family Y membership a few months back and have been enjoying that, but it's hard to find the time to go (even though the Y has such terrific hours!). Looking forward to connecting with you all. ~Jennifer

    Hi, I'm Jeff in Rochester.

    I've lost 11lb in 32 days doing P90X and eating healthy. My profile is open for all to see ... friend me if you want to see my daily diary. :)
  • Hi, I am new to this site. I am from Northern Minnesota - Clearbrook to be exact. I am hoping to make some new friends and supporters. I am a mom of two and a college student, finishing my LPN program this summer! Woohoo!

    Hey there fellow Minnesotans! I'm from "up nort" myself, though the Army's been taking me all over the place the past ten years. Currently, I'm down south in Kansas.

    It's great to find MFP, a site to motivate me to get healthier, and to turn to whenever I'm nostalgic for home.

    Oh, and - Go Beavers!

    Good morning, fellow Minnesotans. I was born and raised in Champlin - spent the better part of 13 years trying to find "home" only to end right back here. I am excited to have found this group and am interested to share successes and struggles to help each other acheive our goals.

    Have you tried Chester Woods Park? I've heard of people going there to paddle board. I see people on the Mississippi (Lake Pepin) @ Lake City kayaking when the winds are calm all the time.

    I will check out Chester woods, I know they have kayaks for rental, I'll see if they have anything with paddle boards! Thanks!

    Hey, I was born in St. Cloud, we moved a lot but now I'm back in St. Cloud. I visit Minneapolis a lot because I have loads of friends down there from school and when I lived there I met a lot of great friends.

    I'm 24 and I'd like some friends around my age in St. Cloud! I definitely like to go out and have a good time, not sure of the night life here though. I can imagine it's lacking, compared to the cities. :ohwell: But just hanging out is cool too.

    I'm from Woodbury but now live in Bozeman, Montana. If you like hiking, I would recommend taking a trip out to Montana. It's a great workout and you see some beautiful places.

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Laura, I am originally from Rochester but I currently reside in St. Paul. I am a student at St. Catherine's University for Physical Therapy. Today is a gorgeous day, so I'll be heading over to Lake Calhoun for a good run around the lake! I could definitely use some encouragement to stay motivated. I start programs and then within a couple weeks lose interested and motivation. I'm getting married in a year so I need to stay on track this time and get my butt in shape!!

    Hey Laura- I'm in the nursing program at the St. kates mpls site... keep it up, look HOT for your wedding - and forever afterwards!

    Love that there is a Minnesota Group; can't believe I didn't find it sooner!

    Hi - My name is Marianne and live in White Bear Lake, Mn. I've been working on changing my lifestyle since Oct 2010; joined MFP 6 months later. Have learned a great deal from MFP and love the site. My highest weight loss was 78lbs and then I fell off the wagon for a few months. I'm back on track...woohoo!

    Feel free to friend me.

    Hi, I am from Caledonia, but now live in Spring Valley.
  • Hola :) I'm originally from Great Falls, MT but I'm in Maple Grove right now.

    I'm recently single and looking to build a body/lifestyle so at some point I'll be ready to mingle.

    Hopefully I'll find some of my inspiration and motivation through all of you, and, eventually, I hope to help others be inspired to get fit too!
  • Hello, my name is Mariel (30). I am from Minneapolis, MN. I am 300 plus lbs and am looking into gastoric bypass surgery. I have a husband and a son who is 6. I want to be a good role model for my son but thats hard when he asks why I am fat. That was a reality check. I have a dietician that I go to once a month and soon will be seeing a bariatric doctor. I am just exhausted all of the time. I get headaches from stressing over it and im on the brink of diabetes. I need as much support as possible.
