Hi. New member here from Manassas, and a newcomer to the area as well, as I recently relocated from Florida. I've been on a my weight loss journey for almost a year and a half now. I went from an all time high of 231 back in December of 2011 to my lowest weight in years this past December (155 lbs). Due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise (winter was brutal for me) , I am now back up 181. *cry* I would love to have some local friends on MFP for motivation, support, get togethers... whatever! Please add me if you would like. :-)0

Good morning Good morning Good morning

Hey guys! I'm a Bronx girl currently living in Potomac, MD. Right now I'm a little over 30lbs down but I have another 30 to lose and I'm at a plateau and could use a swift kick in the tuchus!! Please let me know if you are in the area and looking for a workout buddy. I prefer outdoor activities and yogas to treadmills in a stuffy gym, but anything that will keep me moving will make me happy

Hi! I'm Emily, living in Gaithersburg and soon to be commuting daily to DC for work (insert metro door-closing chime here!). I'm at 32 pounds lost right now -- about a third of the way there! I feel great! I actually don't know a ton of people around here since I moved to MD after college, but... add me! I am friendly and dorky and great at cheering people on.

Arlingtonian who spends my 9-5 out near Tyson's Corner where I can only walk around my office building. I am not native to the area, though I've been here 11 years, so I know enough not to be looking forward to this summer heat that's coming.
I am a little bit of a dabbler (I've tried everything I can think of- rock climbing, yoga, roller blading) along with my triathlon hobbies so I'm sure you've seen me around somewhere.
I am always looking for people to train with!0 -

I live in Crystal City, work at Belvoir M-F, & teach in Fairfax. I've been eating healthy and working out 6 days a week at the gym in my apartment. Definitely would love to have a buddy to go hiking and stuff on the weekends! I've got a ways to go, but I'm definitely not going back to a sedentary lifestyle.0

Hello from Culpeper, VA! I'm Jennifer (43 yrs old). Grew up in Virginia, spent over a decade near Arlington while working DC, but now enjoying the lack of traffic jams in a more rural setting. Hope to lose 30 lbs before Christmas, maybe another 15 lbs by next spring to get down to my ideal weight.0

Hello all. I am looking to lose 40 to 45 pounds. I started on August 20th (2013) and to date lost 18 pounds.0

I attend Fitness Evolution. It use to be Golds (Laurel).0

Hi.
I hit up Golds in Chantilly, if anyone attends feel free to say Hi. Not really bothered on how much weight to lose, just want to continue getting stronger, I own a consulting firm in the area dealing with Information Security, and as you can imagine that's not really conducive to doing much but sitting behind a computer.0 -
Hi Folks, NOVA (outside of the capitol beltway) guy here checking in, originally from PG County. Here to initiate a lifestyle change and to lose 45lbs. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to the group.0

Hi all -
Eric from Annandale here, non-federal worker (I work at a water plant down in Lorton) with a pretty good commute - 13 miles, about 20 minutes under good conditions, 30 under poor. Rotating shift work, 12 hour days one week, nights the next; 2 weekends out of every 4, overtime usually takes out a third (less of that recently, thank the Maker) when we have it, holidays as they fall in the normal schedule, etc. Finally getting real about watching what I eat and working out; doing pretty well with the former, and not terribly with the latter, considering how out of shape I am. Started at 274 pounds last month, as a 6'1" male at 42 years old, and am down 7 pounds as of my last weigh-in last week. Setting 200 as a target weight, though we'll see how realistic a goal that is. Due to both schedule and finances, a gym membership is basically out of the question, so I'm walking and doing bodyweight resistance training - I'm currently using the Max Capacity app on my Android phone for the latter, and will likely be transitioning to something with a little more bite to it as I get stronger and lighter.
My primary goals are fat loss and increasing functional strength.0 -
Hello everyone!
My name is Melanie, and I live in Bowie, which is located in Prince George's County, MD. I cycle frequently (about 40 miles a week). The new gym by my apartment just opened (LA Fitness in the Town Center), so starting tomorrow I will be going there too. I would love to add new friends in the area who are also interested in a fit and healthy lifestyle.
If you want to meet up and do something active, or just want a gym buddy at LA Fitness at the Bowie Town Center, please add me!0
