Hi, my name is Karin. I'm 27 years old and in live in South Florida. Like a good Floridian I love the beach, the sun and the ocean. Since the beginning of the year (2009) I have lost 40 lbs! I'm in the best shape of my life and it's truely a fantastic thing. New to me this year is also the joy of running. I love to run and am currently training for my first 5K. I decided to join this site to keep track of my calorie intake and see if I can meet some people to help me stay healthy and motivated. Luckily, there seems to be no lack of that here.
