Washington, DC area dieters?

Options
Hey, I live in Washington, DC, and I'm looking for other area folks who are dieting. I'm looking to lose 50 lbs. over the next year. I've been on the Diet-to-Go prepared 1600-calorie meal plan for a week and I'm having trouble sticking to it so far, but I'm going to keep at it. I have a Fitbit Flex and I try to do 10,000 steps a day, plus cardio at the gym when I have time. I could use some friends to help keep me accountable with whom I could compare my progress.

I'm glad I discovered myfitnesspal! It's a great service.
