Semaglutide
In an early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people using semaglutide plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. After 68 weeks, half of the participants using semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%.
Another study with similar results
Lumen device/total metabolism tracking
The Lumen device measures carb and fat burn using a highly validated test of CO2 that is detected when patient breathes into the device. This has been validated to closely approximate real metabolism. Patients just need to breathe into the device daily to get helpful recommendations and better understand how their body burns fat.
Follow our personalized program to achieve the most Fat loss using safe and effective medications and Program therapies
Schedule of health coach visits for 12-week program (8 visits)
Visit 1
Discussion of body composition and patient goals.
Encourage patient to come to the office for bi-weekly visits if geographically feasible. Discuss role of Lumen device in terms of metabolism tracking.
Action: Advise patient to keep food diary for next week and to use the Lumen device daily.
Visit 2
Discuss food diary and make appropriate suggestions for improvement
Focusing on total caloric intake and healthy eating. Go deep here as much as time allows. Have to set the foundation for healthy eating. Explain that we do not recommend "dieting". Goal is to change our eating to a healthy eating that can be maintained well after program is over.
Action: Ask patient to keep diary of exercise for next week. If possible suggest they get an activity tracker for more accurate tracking.
Visit 3
Discuss exercise pattern from prior week and make appropriate recommendations.
Focus on anaerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes 4-5 times per week. Aerobic should be on top of this but if they only have time for one or the other, then advise anaerobic.
Action: Advise patient to get new body composition prior to next week's visit.
Visit 4
Discuss progress/lack of progress vs week 1 baseline if we have a new body composition.
Keep in mind that they are in the building stage of the medication, so we are not expecting a lot of fat loss at this point. 3-4 lbs of fat loss in the first month would be considered a success. Many patients with 75-100 lbs to lose report losing up to 25 lbs in first month. Ascertain if patient has been compliant with dietary and exercise recommendations and medication adherence.
Action: If there has been no fat loss or even fat gain, then need to discuss the case with medical director for possible additional interventions. Advise patient to track sleep for next week preferably with sleep tracking device but if not, then just manual tracking (time to bed, time waking up, how many times did they awake for the night, sleep hygiene questions.)

WOODBRIDGE, VA — On March 15, 1965, a group of 35 women formed an organization to provide service to the Woodbridge community. The Woodbridge Woman's Club legacy has now lasted for 60 years, with new generations of women continuing service projects.
On Tuesday, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors presented a resolution for the Woodbridge Woman's Club's 60th anniversary. The resolution presented by Supervisor Margaret Angela Franklin (D-Woodbridge) said the club was an "outstanding contributor to the success of Prince William County."
Over six decades, the club's members have volunteered for various causes. Some efforts mentioned by Franklin in the board's resolution were providing 194 scholarships totaling over $170,000 to college-bound high school seniors, providing clothing and hats to students at Featherstone and Occoquan Elementary Schools, and volunteering at senior community Fellowship House and donating items like yarn, prizes, holiday decorations and snacks.
Another recent effort has been sewing heart-shaped comfort pillows for cancer and surgical patients at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center. That service project has resumed in 2025.
According to Franklin's resolution, the club received a nomination for the Agnes Colgan Award for Community Service from the Prince William Chamber of Commerce for its work. Joining the club at its recent 60th anniversary event were Franklin, Chair Deshundra Jefferson, Supervisor Victor Angry (D-Neabsco) and Supervisor Kenny Boddye (D-Occoquan).

Lucy Williams, president of the Woodbridge Woman's Club, thanked the board for the recognition and shared the club's recent volunteering efforts. One of its recent projects is with the adopt-a-bus-shelter program through Keep Prince William Beautiful on Old Bridge Road near Chick-fil-A in Lake Ridge. Along with picking up litter through the adopt-a-spot program, the club is working with Keep Prince William Beautiful to commission an artist to convey art on the beauty of the environment. Williams said that project is in its second phase and that the club would ultimately hold a dedication ceremony for the bus shelter.
In addition, Williams said the club has provided hundreds of service hours in Prince William County Schools, including volunteering in classrooms, reading, teacher appreciation breakfasts, and school supplies for the students.
"We take pride in the impact that we have in our community," said Williams. "We are proud to be a valued and recognized organization of the Prince William County, and it is an honor to serve."

OmniRide Buses Experience Crowding, Service Expansions Face Constraints

WOODBRIDGE, VA — As more federal workers return to in-person works, OmniRide says some of its routes are experiencing overcrowded. But due to budget restraints, the bus system is limited with how it can increase service.
OmniRide, which serves Prince William County, the Fredericksburg area and other outer suburbs, said the crowding has happened on some express routes taking commuters to employment centers. Two of these routes will be getting new trips added as of April 21 — the 981 Lake Ridge-Washington route and 611 Front Royal/Gainesville-Washington route. In addition, the 95 Prince William Metro Express route will have minor changes. OmniRide expects to have schedules available during the week of April 14.
The bus system says it is analyzing riderships on its bus routes but says "options are limited" for changes. In the last budget, Prince William County provided an additional $10 million to help with OmniRide's budget shortfall caused by declining gas tax revenue. The next proposed budget has a similar shortfall, as the bus system noted that gas tax revenue has been trending down.
OmniRide says it will provide a flat budget proposal with no additional services next year. The bus system notes uncertainty with ridership with federal workforce reductions amid the return-to-office. Another challenge OmniRide is facing is hiring bus drivers in a competitive regional market.
"OmniRide wants to offer more services and despite current high demand for more travel options there is high uncertainty concerning the future size of the federal workforce and not enough additional resources to make a significant difference in service options," the bus service said in an announcement. "The fiscal reality is that OmniRide does not currently have the funding to rapidly increase the level of Express commuter service."

The bus service recommends commuting during less busy times when possible. Woodbridge and Dale City commuters are encouraged to use the new Neabsco Garage instead of the Horner Road commuter, which has limited availability with more workers going to the office. The Neabsco Garage offers transfer options to some local and express routes.

Prince William County health inspectors found all foods in a cooler affected by a mold or mildew contaminate and other violations.
Emily Leayman, Patch Staff
WOODBRIDGE, VA — In recent weeks, health inspectors found violations at some restaurants during inspections in the Woodbridge area.
Health inspectors conduct most restaurant and other health inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually. Violations typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.
For every observed violation, the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation. Sometimes these are simple, and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection. Other violations are addressed later, and an inspector may conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance.
Here are the most recent inspections from the Woodbridge and eastern Prince William County area, according to the Prince William Health District. Rayhan Grill was cited for food products in the cooler being covered by a mold/mildew contaminate, while Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was cited for expired foods as its only violation.
There were also violations that appeared at multiple restaurants, such as improper hair restraints for some employees as well as uncovered foods in coolers, inadequate santizer to properly sanitize dishes and more. Health inspections made suggestions for corrections in the reports.

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Woodbridge's massive outlet mall Potomac Mills will be the latest landing place of an international value fashion retailer.
Primark, which has 450 stores across the world, announced its store at Potomac Mills (2700 Potomac Mills Cir, Woodbridge, VA) will open on April 10. The more than 32,000-square-foot store will sell fashion for men, women, children and babies.
The Potomac Mills store will have grand opening festivities when the store opens at 11 a.m. on April 10. Shoppers can expect local treats, giveaway like a bouquet bar with fresh floral arrangements, a DJ and more.
Potomac Mills will be the third Primark store in the DC region, which includes Tysons Corner Center in Tysons, Virginia and Arundel Mills in Hanover, Maryland. The retailer has also signed a lease for the Mall at Prince George’s in Hyattsville, Maryland.
"Since Primark opened stores in Maryland and Virginia, just outside the nation's capital, we've seen a strong demand for more of the joy that Primark brings to local shoppers," said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US. "We are gearing up to open our doors at Potomac Mills, and are excited to bring a new community of DMV shoppers more of Primark's unmatched combination of style, quality and affordability, continuing our success in the area."

Shoppers can find licensed products from brands such as Netflix and Disney, as well as NBA and NFL gear for the Washington Wizards and Washington Commanders starting at $14.
While some have raised concerns about the environmental impacts of fast fashion, Primark says it is working on sustainability. The retailer's Primark Cares multi-year program includes a goal of making all clothing from recycled or more sustainably sourced materials by 2030, as well as cutting carbon emissions in half and pursuing a living wage for supply chain workers.
