Anyone from Cincinnati??

I live in Cincinnati and while its good to meet people and "talk" to people from everywhere on here, I think it would also be good to know someone from Cincinnati.  I have personal motivation and my family, friends, and fiance are great support as well.  I just thought I'd throw out the idea...

I'm not from Cincinnati, but I noticed that no one had responded yet.  I'm close though, just down the road in Lexington :)

yeah no one has posted yet...poor me ;)  Thanks for the post.  I prob didnt write the post too well, but for some reason its nice to know that someone from "home" is having some issues too.  So, what are you here for?  Weight loss, be more healthy, maintaining...

I like knowing that there is someone from "home" too :)

I'm trying to maintain my weight and possibly gain a few pounds.  I went a little overboard with exercising and calorie counting and ended up weighing a lot less than I intended (unintentionally).  I have cut back dramatically on exercise and have been trying(semi-successfully) to train myself to eat more on a daily basis. I have gained about 10 lbs since December.  I just wanna be healthy more than anything.

I'm in the cleveland area so I'm not too far away either. My family and  my boyfriend have been really supportive too but told my boyfriend told me he won't let me get too skinny!  He wants to lose a few pounds himself so I think seeing my weight loss  is motivating him too.  I am doing this because honestly I had a check list... get my degree, check, get a sweet ass job, check, get a sweet place to live, check, get a sweet ass bod ( i kept skipping that one), then find the perfect guy,  check.  We aren't engaged yet, but are talking about it soon, and since the sweet ass bod is the thing on my list before I need to start a new one, I figured now was the perfect time!  I started at 178 at the end of February and am down to 170 and down a pants size.  I more or less want to be comfortable in an 8 instead of fluctuating between 12s and 14s.  Today I bought a 10!  Is the Ohio weather driving you guys crazy too?

misty1993 - CONGRATS on realizing that you went overboard and on getting healthy again.  I have had some large fluctuations in my life as well.  I went from skinny/healthy to large/unhealthy.  I am now on a mission to lose weight, but the main thing is to be healthy again.  I am almost at 15 pounds lost and I cant wait to feel GREAT again.

spedteach115 - This weather is crazy!  So random every day.  I would like to gte back to feeling great about how I look and feel.  It seems like this is a great time for you to concentrate on yourself after accomplishing so many things.

Good luck to both of you!

amri24 - Congrats to you too :)  15 lbs is no small feat.  You should be really proud of yourself.

So, I guess you guys are also getting the 70 degrees one day and then snowing the next, huh.

yeah, I was walking the other day outside in 50 degree sunshiney weather in  a hoodie, and today its rainy/ snowy and FREEZING!  I am going to the Indians home opener on Monday and am praying that its not like last year when the field was buried under snow!  So far it looks like it won't be too bad, but ya never know! 

How did you both do this week?  any big plans for the weekend?

So far, looks like I am the closest one to ya! :) I live about 50 minutes Northeast of you!! (a small town...W.C.H.)

And yes, this wacked out weather is insane!

I've done pretty good this week....I have a severely sprained ankle, so that keeps me from exercising too much, but I really miss the gym! ::sigh::  Probably best for me in the long run though.

Not many plans this weekend, but I have to go to a potluck with some work people tonight and I have no idea what to bring...I'm not much of a cook.  Think I'll just have to swing by Kroger on my way there.  We have a new puppy who starts puppy classes on Sunday, so I'm expecting a real adventure out of that!  LOL  Wish me luck!

Enjoy the baseball game :)  Hope the weather cooperates for ya.

WCH - I know exactly where that is...SHOPPING!!!

I'm from Cincinnati!

However, I'm living in Korea right now. I'll be home for a couple months at Christmas.

I'm willing to support though.

 Are you doing a study abroad type of program or something?  That must be really interesting to do.  I wish I had done something like that when I had the opportunity.

LOL

Yeah, the outlet malls are about 10 minutes from me. Which is funny, cause I hardly ever go there!
