    I live in Granbury which is close to Fort Worth. I come into Fort Worth often and may take a job there. I want to exercise and help my family to be fit. I have a husband and two children. My daughter turns 6 on Friday the 13th of January. I was very fit when she was born. I had a midwife and was very determined to be in excellent health so I could have her in the peace of my own home. I remember logging in many miles getting stronger and stronger. My daughter was born healthy.

    Now six years later I have gained some weight and had lost my focus. I want to be that healthy mom again. I joined the gym with my family. We all exercise everyday in some way. I want to lose 30 lbs. I want abs this year. I want to cut carbs and eat more vegetables. I want to have energy!

    Hi,
    Just joined this group, I am in North Richland Hills. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and enjoy cycling, actually anything outside really! Good Luck to you all!

    I just joined this group. I live just west of Fort Worth. I have a problem exercising due to some health restrictions so weight loss is a bigger challenge for me than it used to be. I originally lost all the weight I needed to lose with Weight Watchers but I couldn't keep it off so here I am again at the starting line, 100 lbs to lose. I am pretty motivated at the moment, but we all know how quickly that can go.

    Hi!
    Welcome! Good Luck with your journey! I love MFP, I lost all of my weight then couldn't keep it off either, so here I am bad. Health issues make everything more difficult for sure, but you did it once you can do it again. I bet the pool is going to be your best friend.

    I live in the Hurst area and have 100+ to lose. I've found that water aerobics is helping me to exercise and gain back my balance and strength. I go to classes several times a week and it burns about 590 cal. per hour :)

    I live about 20 minutes south of Fort Worth. I'm an emotional eater and when I lost someone I loved two years ago, I gained a whopping 75 lbs. Sooo... now I have a long way back to health. So far I've lost 15 lbs in about 7 weeks. I'm encouraged. However, I've only lost 1 lb/week the last four weeks, and I'd really like to lose a little faster than this.

    I bought an elliptical, because I work nights and I'm a single mom. I didn't want any excuse to not work out. So far so good. I work out 4-5 x week for at least an hour a day. Going from no exercise- this is a big improvement for me.

    I'm committed to getting healthy again, but I know that staying motivated is key. I hope that joining like minded individuals will help keep me on track! :-)

    I live in the northwest right by Keller/Roanoke/Fort Worth. This weather makes it hard to work out but I get up early to get it done.

    I am in SW Fort Worth and I finally joined the gym. I get a discount through work so there was really no reason not to. I have a 4 year old and it seems like I lost weight really fast after he was born but gradually it all came back. I am getting married in November(yay!) and I want to lose about 20 lbs.

    I live in SW area. I like to do a lot of different things. I get bored VERY easily with the same workout, so I'm always trying to get into something different. I live off the Trininty trail if anyone who would like to bike ride, walk, or jog (I haven't advanced to running yet) I'm down.

    Greetings from Tehama Ridge, up in NW FTW.

    If anyone else is in the area, we have a nice half basketball court and a big softball field. Would love to arrange a gathering!

    Also, if anyone is interested in playing softball or trying floorball, let me know.

    Talk is cheap. Let's get out there and do stuff! :)

    Thanks!

    Dave
