Hey I'm Jonathan from Plainville, CT...nice to meet everyone. I primarily enjoy road bike so if anyone in my area is up for early morning rides feel free to send me a message.

Hi all!

I'm Mark from Stamford. Great to be here!

Hello Neighbors... Woodbury here

So weird to find so many people so close to me!
I'm Mari, from New London, but work in New Haven...friend me!

Hi, I'm Jan and I grew up in Windsor Locks and I live with my husband and two young daughters in Enfield. Thanks for inviting me to join your group!

I'm mostly on MFP for the community support. I just started doing Weight Watchers a week ago.....again. I've been a serial WW member on and off for the past 12 years. I lose the weight and then gain it back. It's an ugly cycle. I find I really only do well when I attend the meetings, but I'm attempting to do it online only this time around and I need as much support as I can get! I know exercising regularly will help me lose the weight and keep it off, so I just need to find the time to do it. I have a treadmill in my basement that I inherited from my grandparents when they passed away. I need to dust it off and start using it!

I'm Connie from New Haven
Right over by East Shore Park - trying to get together a walking crew for Sunday evenings at East Shore Park 6:30 - we go around 3 times which is the equivalent of a 5k. Maybe someday we'll be running it and join up all these wonderful little road races.

Anyone else want to join us?

Hi Everyone! I'm Barbara from Shelton. It is so great to see so many CT people on here. I want to lose about 75 lbs, but am taking it 20 lbs at a time. I will be 40 in 5 weeks and have decided to start getting healthy.

Can't wait to get to know everyone.

Hi there! I'm Michelle, and I'm in Meriden.

Hello everyone! I am Kate and I live in Plainville. I'm trying to work my way into a healthy lifestyle! Its so great to see that there are so many MFPers in the CT!

Hi there!

I am Mike from Bethel. I am 49.

Joined MFP 522 days ago and so far have lost about 80 pounds.

I went from a 305 pound uncontrolled diabetic slug who needed my wifes help to get off the couch to someone who has now run 5K, 10K, Warrior Dashes, half-marathons (working on training for a full) and am doing the NJ Tough Mudder in October. I weight lift 4-5 times per week and take six classes of krav maga per week. Add in walks at lunch and so on and I think my weight loss and getting fitter is on track (more or less).

I also became a vegetarian after slowly removing mat from my diet over the last year or so. I went full veg 2 weeks before last thanksgiving.

A lot of this I probably would not have accomplished without the help of my diet and exercise partner Vegamy (who is also my veg mentor!)

Hello all, I had no idea there was actually a CT support group until I strumbled across this I've been doing MFP for 110 straight days now. I'm mostly doing Les Mills Pump and now running on my off days and just finished my first WD. Still have a long way to go but I'm 43 pounds in and counting.

Hi! Maria from Danbury. Joined MFP about 4 months ago. Nice to meet you all!
Thank you to Mommyj2009 for inviting me to this group. I would have probably never found it on my own!
I have about 40-50 more lbs to go - next summer will be AWESOME!! I would love to be able to wear a bathing suit and actually look good in it... :glasses:

Good luck to all of you!!

Hello to everyone. I am Guy from Danbury. I've been on this for some time but have redediciated myself to using it on a daily basis. I acknowledge that I need help in this struggle to lose weight. I do well and then relax. Need the help of others to actually continue. Hope to make some friends on the journey.

Hi All!
I'm Krista. I live in Simsbury. I lost a bit of weight for my wedding and have seemed to put it all back on within a year despite running a 1/2 marathon recently, I need fitness pals to keep me motivated!!

I have been juicing for a couple of weeks now :happy: typically I replace a meal with juicing ususally dinner but have not been hard core juicing only yet (I am Italian nuff said). But after watching that movie and seeing the mans progress it inspired me to be healthier especially since I gained weight after my foot surgery. I have the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt juicer who is a bit hard to clean and I feel the fluff is still a little wet but works pretty damn good
