    Hi Everyone! My name is Christine. I live in Bethesda and work near Union Station. I am just trying to get into better shape, move more, eat better etc. I just got a FitBit Zip and I'm really excited about it! It syncs really well with MFP and runkeeper (I don't run a lot but I use it for walking too haha)

    Just looking for some supportive, fun people to chat with and keep me accountable!

    Hi Christine!

    I just got a fitbit, too! https://www.fitbit.com/user/2PQ9XR

    I'm Norah -- I live in Columbia Heights and I work in NoMa. I've been trying to walk home every day but I'm not sure how that's going to go with the hot weather coming up.

    Awesome! I walk about 15 minutes each way to the metro every day and I totally feel you on how the hot weather will affect that haha. Arriving at the metro and/or work all sweaty isn't my favorite way to start the day :)

    New member here. I live in Arlington and work in Falls Church so I'm lucky with my commute. Starting to find balance with calorie intake and exercise. Little sister is getting married in August and I'd like to look good in the pictures. :) Lost 50lbs over ten year ago and been in the same range for the last few years. Looking for walking buddies. Maybe a gym buddy to keep me accountable (Gold's Gym member).

    Good luck everyone!

    Not a new member, but I got stalled by my asthma. Hard to workout when you can't breathe. Finally have my breathing and other health related issues under control for the moment. I am ready to get healthier.

    Evening folks. Just joined the group so I thought I'd say hello. I live in Herndon, Virginia. I've been on MFP for a while but in the last six months I've really hit my stride. I've slowly, but steadily, lost 13 pounds since January 2014. I'm just here to find people to share experiences, frustrations, and successes.

    Hi, all, currently in Herndon. Not new to MFP, but planning on sticking with it this time. I didn't take it seriously last time. After 2 personal trainers and a nutritionist, I have returned back to running to lose weight since that has worked very well in the past for me. Looking for more local friends, thanks!

    Checking in,

    Brand new member to myfitnesspal (on day 4 now?), and newish member to the DMV area. I got out of the Marines and moved from Virginia Beach to the Bethesda/Rockville area; almost been living here for 1 year. Now I'm a student that doesn't get out much, and therefore now getting back into shape.

    185lbs cutting down to 160lbs.
    I used to do cardio in the mornings and weights in the evenings, but I decided to try out P90X/Insanity Hybrid workout for now before I start on weights. My body is hurting so good :lol:


    edit: if you want to get together for some weekend trail runs or snowboarding, send me a friend request.

    Hello! I've liven in MD for almost 2 years now, and I currently am in the Glen Burnie/Severn area.

    I am trying to take an active role in my health care, and with several chronic conditions I have unfortunately gained 30 lbs in 6 months. So I'm on here (a second time) trying to get my health in order.

    I just enrolled at the Pasadena LA Fitness (it has a pool!)
