    Hey, all! Stephanie, 25, way out in western Loudoun. I just joined MFP this week to re-motivate myself into eating better and drop a few lbs that crept up on me.. a small goal of about 10lbs. I'm in that "I don't want to have to buy new clothes" boat!

    I'm just getting back to running after about a 6 week break. I've signed up for a half-marathon at Disney in February with the ultimate goal of doing MCM next year. That'll be my first full! I'm sort of looking around for a few shorter races before Disney, just to keep me focused.

    Yeah, I know it's weird but it's just such a hassle and so mentally draining to have to drag myself out to a store and try on clothes and find stuff that looks good but doesn't fit or fits but doesn't look good. Ya know? It's just easier to stick with what I've got!

    Hello Sara, I'm a mommy of a two year old baby girl, and I have about 50lb to lose. I too gain a lot of weight when I got pregnant, and I'm hovering right about the same weight I was back then.... so you are not alone... but we can do it!!!!
    Welcome to DMV Group!!

    Aloha! I'm Akiyo and I live in Bowie, MD. I'm an office drone by day and a culinary student by night. I'm here because I'm tired of being sore and....well, tired. I want to lose weight so I'll have more energy and, hopefully, control my back pain so I can reduce my visits to the chiropractor. The short term goal is to lose 10 pounds before my physical in the beginning of October. Congratulations to everybody else on their progress and I look forward to being part of this community.

    Hello Everyone,

    My name is Valerie I am 26 and currently live in Calvert CO., MD but work in Arlington, VA! So I know all about commuting, I have about and hour in a half commute one way! 3 hours total UGH, but the job pays! I currently have about 80 more pounds to go until goal and I am feeling confident that I can shed these extra pounds in no time!

    Hey everybody.

    I'm in Jessup. I lived in Frederick county for 23 years, but spent a lot of time in Towson too.

    I was "lucky" enough to join the military and get stationed right back where I came from. :P

    Hi everyone!!! My name is Kenyette and I live in Columbia and work in Howard County as well. I joined MFP around March and didnt really start using it until April. Tracking what i eat and how I exercise has really helped me lose weight. I topped the scale at 243 and I knew it was time for a change! I got a Planet Fitness membership and I now log every morsel that I eat. So far i have lost 12 lbs. That may be little to some, but I feel like I have moved mountains. I wish everyone luck in their weight loss journeys. If you need motivation, I am a great supporter. Feel free to add me as a friend.
