      A bunch of the earlier members probably already know me, but we are growing a lot so I thought I would say hi again. Im glad to see so many DMV people. My name is Greg, and I live in Rockville, MD. I enjoy hiking, cycling, rafting, kayaking, climbing but I have let myself get to the point where my weight makes it hard to do most of the things I love doing.

      Hi everybody! I just joined the group today. I'm in Capitol Heights, MD.

      Looking to lose between 35 and 50 pounds. Man, that would be awesome. :smile:

      Food: So far, I've been tracking my food since January 31st, 2012 and have been doing pretty well with staying under 1,500 calories (most days, anyway).
      Fitness: I've gone interval walking/running a couple of times (last Sunday and yesterday), and my first fitness goal is to work my way up to running a mile and being alive at the end of it.

      So many new faces! HELLO EVERYONE!!

      as a group, we struggle to keep up with postings, so if you ask a question and don't get a response right away, do not fret! It's not that we dont want to help, just some of us forget to check here more than 1-2 times per week (<raises hand> guilty party right here)

      I'm so happy to see you all here!

      Hello all, I joined MFP almost a week ago and just thought to check for groups in the area. I live and work in the Sterling/Herndon/Reston area. I'm currently doing the C25K program and I am loving the way MFP shows me what I'm eating broken into numbers. I've never really actually tried to lose weight before and I am excited at the prospect of getting down to a healthier weight where I can travel and go places with more ease and confidence.

      Hi all, I am new to the group and am excited that there are others that share my same goals in the area.

      I am 32 years old and live in Southern Maryland (Waldorf), however, I work in DC (gov't) which limits the amount of time I have to work out. Currently I am down about 30 lbs, but still have more to go. Look forward to meeting others who share in my goal.
