    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.

    Welcome to the group! I know there is a thread in here with a big representation of our southern Marylanders. Great job losing the 30lbs, keep up the good work.

    Hi! My name is Jewel and I live in Oxon Hill, MD. I've been on MFP for almost year but it wasn't until recently that I go serious about getting my weight under control. I'm hoping to lose 40 pounds by the end of this year and another 20 by the summer of 2013. If anyone is looking for additional support, feel free to add me.

    Hello! I'm Stephen. I live near Rockville, MD and work in DC. In the past I managed to lose 60 lbs and hit my ideal weight! Yay! Then I gained about 35 of it back, boo! So I joined MFP. So far so good. I'd like some MFP friends, though. Hint, hint! :)

    Hi! I'm Shannon (as evidenced by the name) and I just moved to the Baltimore area last year. I don't have a lot of time to get out and explore my new city so hopefully this group will give me some insight on what-to-see and maybe even make some new friends! :D

    Hello!

    I live in Woodbridge, VA, and work in DC. I have a two year old a handsome and awesome husband. I however, need extra motivation to attain my weigh tloss goals. I'll love to hike and dance, excersies are no issues for me. I enjoy Zumba and also often go to KaZaXe classes in Alexandria, VA. Its the eating healthier part that's a great problem for me....

    About a year ago i had lost about 20 lb. (halfway my goal) but started studying for a professional certification.
    It was very stressful, long hours @ coffe shop/library studying after a 9hr day @ job plus 2 hrs commute back home. LOL I finished the 4th part of the exam (just need to take the ethics portion of it)

    It was (and its still) a struggle to balance work, baby, hubby and house duties. Needless to say, I've gained just about all the weight I had lost almost a year ago. I'm hoping to get motivation, inspiration and tips and participate in weight loss challenges.
    I also would like to participate in group hikes, health parties, watever.... my husband and I love meeting new peoples and other couples.


    Ultimate goal is to loose 40 lb by next summer and meet nice and fun people in the process!

    Hi everyone,

    I'm in Woodbridge too. Commuting to & from Tyson's. I've lost 55 lbs total, 40lbs since joining MFP. I still have a ways to go. I am currently training for my first half marathon in October. Would love to meet up fellow DC area MFP members and participate in some fun outdoor activities!
