in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!

My name is Sarah, and I'm a 26 year old female living just outside of Washington, DC in Northern Virginia. I started losing weight at the end of last summer, and just recently joined MFP to help me get motivated after a lull in dieting. I started out trying to lose weight my wedding, but now my focus is mainly on being fit and feeling good about myself. I want to start this new phase of my life with a healthy lifestyle!

I don't have any friends yet on here - but I'd love to friend anyone in the DC area or women in their mid-20s in a similar situation. I'm 5'7", and started out last summer at a peak of 180. I've gotten it down to around 150, and I'd like to be 130 eventually. I realize that 130 might not be realistic for the wedding on July 2nd since I'm trying to rebuild some muscle tone.

I'm also doing the JM 30 Day Shred in April - super psyched :)

Sarah

    Well hello there. I'm 24 in DC. Looking to drop 15 or so and tone like crazy. I'm doing a bootcamp in Rock Creek Park area for the next few weeks, then another one in Kalorama I think. Warrior Dash in MD on May 22nd! I want to get down around 130-135 I imagine in the long run, but I'm just out of the 160s (yay 159! hehe) so I know I have to be patient. Slow and steady baby.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, neighbor

    YAY people close to me! I am in Centreville, VA and I am 26. I have a lot of weight to lose, but I am on my way of getting it off. I have been on this site for about 2 years on and off, but now I have been on for 80 days straight.
    I have a treadmill at home, that I bought last year, so I do not go to the gym.

    Feel free to send me a request!

    Didn't realize there were so many folks in NoVA. I'm in Fairfax, and trying to regain my pre-kidlet shape. Feel free to send me a friend request.
