Hello Houstonians!

Reporting in from the Northeast side of town -- way, way northeast! I have never been skinny ... so my goal is to get fit. I have roughly 20 pounds to lose to be where I was when I got married. My overall goal is to lose about 40 - 50 pounds. Happy tracking and hope everyone has a great day!

Hello group, I am Mayra and I live in the Katy area. I hope to lose 100 pounds and so far I have lost 33 pounds. I have been on MFP since January 2012 and it has been a great tool in my weight loss. Wish everyone the best of luck!!

Hey Everyone! I live in the Missouri City/Sugar Land area and I'm always looking for workout buddies and new friends. I just joined MFP and it looks like everyone is really benefiting from the site. Feel free to add me as a friend or send me a message.

Hey everyone! I'm Lauren. I just rejoined the site after 8 months and don't have as much weight to lose as just want to stay in shape and be healthy.

I want to do more activity around Houston! It's nice to see a group for us!

Let's connect!

Hey Y'all,

Joined MFP just today, came over from WWOnline. (Why pay for it if it is free?) March of last year I started hitting the gym again, and the first of this year I started focussing on portions and what I am eating. I am down to 355 from my start weight of 389, I've lost 45 points off my cholesterol which is now a respectable 138, and my BP last Friday morning was 124 over 80.

I'm an insomniac (not apnea, had it all my life) and my biggest struggle is not binging at like 1am.

Anyone else struggle with late night munchies?

Later,

Craig

Hello all!

My name is Jon, moved down here from Colorado to the Houston westchase area about 5 years ago and started putting on some texas weight. Last year the result of a big push to finish my masters at UH while working left my body about 20lbs heavier than my previously highest weight.

I joined MFP about a month after the MS150(~170 mile bike ride) to help continue what the bike training had started.....getting back in shape! I would really like to start doing tri's and eventually work my way up to an iron man (which coming from a guy who cant run 1/4 of a mile sounds very scary.......but good scary!)

I dont mean to impress all of you with my mad althetic skills, but i was part of kickball team that won the losers bracket (YMCA bracket as we called it) so I am probably on the surge of becoming a household name next to Foster.

Looking foward to having fun and getting not only back in shape, but in the better shape than i have ever been!

Feel free to add me as I have become obsesses with this site/app and seem to always be on! :-)

Hey all!

So, my fiancee (originally from Houston/Pearland) and I recently moved here (to the Spring/Woodlands area) from Springfield, Missouri. We're getting married next year.

I enjoy golf, cigars (one habit I won't give up), grilling, football, etc. We're new to the area and this is my third stab at MFP. My most recent venture ended when we moved here and I've pigged out on the local treats I couldn't get where I lived before... I've put on about 28 pounds in that time and decided it's finally time to start coming back off, particularly since I have a wedding to look good for!

Anyhow, looking forward to keeping up with other goal oriented people in the area. Please feel free to send an add request as having support and supporting others has been instrumental in my past successes.

Hi, I live in the burbs of houston.

Hi My name is Lisa I have a 8 months baby I'm trying to lose 10-15lbs
I'm doing 30ds and it seems to be helping I want to start running 4 days a week and if you would like to meet up please add me as friend. I live in Spring branch area...

Hi everyone, I am looking for someone to go to the gym with and workout. We can push each other and motivate each other. Just having someone to go with can make you feel better about going and make you want to go to the gym. I need to lose about 100 pounds total and would love to have someone to do this with.

I live in the Bellaire/Meyerland area and work in the Sugar Land area. So I am looking for someone to go to the 24 hour fitness in either of those areas.
My preferred workout schedule is:
Bellaire/Meyerland location between the hours of 5:00am-5:45 am or anytime after 6:30pm - Monday-Sunday
Sugar Land location anytime after 6:15pm - Mondays-Fridays

I can go to any of the 24 hour fitness locations so if you are near to the Richmond or Rice Village locations I might be able to go to those.

Please message me if you are interested.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi to all the new Houstonians!

Hi!

I just moved to Houston from New Hampshire to do research before I go to med school (hopefully in Houston!). It's definitely very different here, but I'm liking it so far. I will say though, there is no way I am going out for runs in the summer haha.

Hello! Moved to Kingwood from FL about 3 weeks ago

Howdy Houstonians,

My name is Johnny. I have been using the MFP for some time in the past. And, as you can see, back again. It is my first time to join groups. Good luck to all and I hope we get to chat sometime.

Hello fellow Houstonians..
I have been on MFP now for 11 myths and down 68lbs. The last 13 years I have been on the road about 70 percent of the time and now find myself lacking in activities outside of work. I hope to reach my 1st goal weight by jan or feb of next year which is 25 more lbs, and once there will then determine if that is suitable or if I need to press on for another 10. Good luck to everyone on their journey.
