From IOWA?

anyone here from Iowa? more specifically the eastern side.

Just curious

Finally, I thought I was the only one.... So I guess there atleast two people in Iowa who would like to drop some pounds!

Yes I would definitly like to drop some pounds.  I've never come across anyone else either that is from Iowa....nice to meet you!

Hi guys,  I'm over on the Mississippi and I'm losing too

right on the mississippi?? I'm in dubuque, are you near by?

I am from Burlington, but I don't live there anymore!

I'm from Des Moines!

I'm a ways from Dubuque, down south of Muscatine.

I thought I was the only from Iowa on this site, too. I am from Burlington, but travel to Dubuque a couple times a month to visit family.

We've got lots of friends in Burlington and head down there sometimes.  Grazing at Martini's is an experience in gluttony that should be avoided at all costs.

Ah, Martini's. We tend to celebrate birthdays at our office down there, especially the milestone ones. The only place worse is the Iowa Tavern, which is home to the largest tenderloins in Burlington ( deep fat fried of course). I didn't realize that if you don't live in the Midwest, you have probably never heard of a tenderloin until I was greeted by blank looks from some of our friends back East. Tenderloins are evil!!!

Hey I'm from the South East of Iowa, Good to see some people that are at least from the same state as me.....I think I'll be tagging this line so I can keep up.

Good morning;

I'm from central Iowa - Webster city.

Well, I'm originally Iowan--born in Sioux City.  But my parents moved across the river to Nebraska soon afterward. :)

Hi there!  I am in Urbandale, Iowa

We just a meeting in our office and decided to do the Lighten Up Iowa 100 day challenge this year. I did it about 4 yrs ago and lost those 10 vanity lbs, but this time I have much more to lose thanks to a hypo-thyroid and PCOS.

I am excited about it because it always so much easier when you don't have to go it alone.

Hi all,

I'm also in Iowa and going to do Lighten Up Iowa with folks from work. 

I'm an old-timer who fell off the wagon (see my post in "Motivation" about that) after losing almost 80 pounds.  I gained 20 back over the last 6 months, and my goal is to lose that and keep on going towards my original goal of 150 (I started over 280 about a year and a half ago). 

It is nice to know there are other Iowa folks out there on CC, and I hope you're all staying warm!!  :)

Hey Iowans! I too reign from the lovely Hawkeye state. Currently I'm in the Quad Cities! Glad to see other homestate folks getting healthy!

I think it is impossible to stay warm today, though it is the first really cold day we have had. Back to work today and back on the wagon. I threw away all the leftover holiday treats this morning and then had to take the trash bag out to make sure I wouldn't go "dumpster diving" in a fit of carb rage.

I am from Ottumwa.  I have 70 pounds to lose and am serious about losing it.

I really like this web site and support from members.

im also from ottumwa
