    Hello! I am a new member so I will check in! I am a 26 y/o Licensed Veterinary Technician living in Centreville, VA.
    I live with my fiance, roommate and the most wonderful cat alive!
    I have been on MFP since Jan 2012. I had previously lost weight then gained it back, but now it will be gone for good! I still have a long way to go, but I am working as hard as I can.

    My fiance and I would love to meet up with some other couples. We love to hike, bike, and mostly go camping, and backpacking.

    Hey everyone! I'm Kate, 24, married for a little over a year, and just moved to Baltimore from Denver.

    I joined MFP to get control and accountability with my food and exercise. My goal is to lose 30 lbs by my 25th birthday in February.

    Hey my fellow Marylanders!

    My name is Kim and I'm new to MFP. I'm looking to connect with like minded folks to encourage, motivate and keep each other accountable. Please let me know if I can add you to my friends list and you may add me to yours. I feel the more the merrier and I can use all the support I can get and GIVE to any MFP member needing support and a place to vent, feel safe and comforted.

    I work a full time day job and own my own cake business and makeup artistry business. You can probably imagine that having a cake business is very hard for a person like me that loves to indulge in sweets. I hope to one day completely give up the day job and really do what I love and that's baking and making cakes. If you'd like to check out my cakes go to http://www.candyapplecakes.com It's also on FB so please feel free to like it while there. I also have a website and youtube channel for my makeup biz and I may just video blog about my weightloss journey but am a little intimidated to do so. Guess I'm afraid to fail on camera. What do ya'll think I should do...any thoughts?

    I'm trying to write a blog on MFP and post at least 2-3 times a week. If you'd like to read more about me and my story please follow the link (hope I posted the link correctly)

    Thanks for taking the time to read this and everyone have a very blessed day!

    Hi there! Heather from Annandale here...I am new to this thing as evidenced by my total weight loss: 0 pounds....woohoo! :) Actually - I started working out like mad this summer....sometimes up to 2 hours each day....I gained 3 pounds. That was encouraging (not). hahah....so I figured I needed to be more accountable for my eating habits. Just started the Dukan Diet yesterday - I will let you know how it goes.

    Hi everyone, I am Larry and live near Reston. I have been a member of MFP for exactly 4 months today and it really has transformed my eating and excercise life. I am currently ahead of my plan to lose 1 lb a week for 52 weeks. So far I am losing about 1.5 lbs a week. Most importantly I am relearning how to eat proper portions and food after a decades of improper eating habits. Also, my exercise habits have gotten much better and I find myself gradually trying and doing more challenging exercises.

    Hi Everyone! I have been using MFP for a while, but have never looked at the 'community' tab before..I'm 19 going to school part-time. I also work full-time in Rockville for an agency that's part of DHHS, but I commute from Ellicott City. I've lost a little over 40 lbs so far and would like to lose ~20 more!!
