I am not in NoVA but wanted to wish you the best of luck finding one.  Also, not sure how far it is from McLean...but Jackie Thodos and Sue Baker run a fabulous group out of Fredericksburg.  Jackie is out of town for work...but if you PM her I am sure she will respond ASAP or go to obesityfreedom.com and check them out!

Are you considering 95 traffic... no traffic, an hour... with traffic, who knows... 3, 4, 5 hours?? :P

The two support groups mentioned above are the only ones that are in this area... I think one is run also near Warrenton or Winchester or one of those rural W places, but that's no closer than Fredericksburg.

Bummer, really, if I was closer to Jackie's group I might get to meetings more often!

No, I wasn't considering traffic b/c I don't know how far things are from each other up there.  I just know that Jackie and Sue do a call in meeting and are great online support, too.  They can also recommend other groups if they know of them.  I am more familiar with the groups in my area.  The traffic up there is the main reason why you could not pay me to live up there!  I loathe sitting in traffic!

The most fun is when you get an accident, weather (to include flurries or misting rain... not severe weather, even), and construction all at the same time. It's like a perfect storm.
