Walking buddy

    22 yr old needs help to lose more stones than wanting to admit!

    After many failed attempts to lose weight and get in shape, and with no money for the gym, I am wondering if anyone is interested in walking with me. I need the motivation, someone to chat to, who maybe is in a similar unfit state like myself, and we can help each other.

    And maybe if one than one person is interested we could do a walking group thingie. Would be nice to meet new people in the area too... :)

    Based in the city center.

    Would be great if you could get a couple of folks together for it.

    Given there's running groups it stands to reason why not a walking group,

    Definitely up for some walking buds :) Not ready for the big leagues yet, *waves fist* damn the running groups and there fancy speed...

    We all gotta start somewhere, and I'm starting by sitting on my bum in front of the computer :)

    If people are interested, let me know...

    This is true, no excuses when you have a dog relying on you:)

    True, but not a responsibility I can take on at the moment, unfortunately!

    Are you new to the area? You could try starting an actual walking group, aside from boards maybe put up a flyer in your local shop or something? I'm sure with the Summer weather you'll get some interest

    I'd love a dog but I'm not allowed have one :D

    I wonder, is this a woman only thing or would all be welcome? :o

    I presume you can use it even if you're not a member of the gym?
