Anyone in the DC area?

I'm a 27 year old woman in the DC area with about 80 more pounds to my goal. Anyone in the DC area (men or women!) on a similar weight loss journey who might want to meet up, work out together, or at least chat? Don't know many people in the area yet, and none of my friends struggle with their weight like I do. Would be nice to have someone to go through the process with!

  • Hi! I'm not in the immediate DC area but I used to live there and now live not too far away. I still make it over to DC fairly often to visit family and friends. I would definitely be up for meeting sometime when I'm in the area. I love hiking in Prince William Forest, not sure which area of DC you're in? I also love Roosevelt Island closer to DC and up in MD Sugarloaf mtn.

    Awesome!

    I'm in the suburbs of MD. I've made it to Great Falls Park but not the other places you mentioned, polkadotsands. I'm adding them to my list of places to go as we speak :-).

    Loving how many people are in the area! I added you guys- looking forward to possibly chatting and meeting up with some of you!! I'd love to go out hiking and things like that in the area, but I'm unmotivated to do it by myself :-).

    Gaithersburg but moving to Bristow/Manassas/Gainseville area soon. Friend me! I like seeing locals on my news feed.
    If you're from those locations in VA, PM me so I can pick your brain about where to find a house and junk.
