MOA walking group?

i'm fat and need to get out and walk.  motivation is a problem so a group of people to walk would be nice. anyone interested   by the way.  I had a date friday night.  had a great time, good coversation. get a call last night from girl. she said she had a great time, loved the conversation, said i'm a great guy but she doesn't see anything in the future.   i'm getting sick of getting rejected,  i guess 460 lbs will do that to ya but it just sucks  

I hear ya on the whole rejection thing. I totally gave up on dating, haven't been looking to seriously date anyone for at least a couple of years now. Maybe someday soon I will jump in again and date. As far as walking, wish I lived closer to the MOA, but I am on the other end of the metro. I know there are definitely people down there though, so hopefully some will be interested and the time frames will work out. Also, on the insurance thing, you can call your insurance company yourself and verify that they do indeed not cover it. I know when I worked at the phone company they quit covering it and still don't cover it. I am lucky I switched careers!! Do you foresee a career change in your future? Are you in a union position? Maybe talk to your union about bargaining and see if they can get the company to cover it again? Best of luck to you.

thanks alayna, i actually do work in a union and for a big cell company in bloomington  

Hey when I could I would join in to walk! Im sorry about the phone call.... I was married but remember the looks and lack of looks and lack of eye contact I would get. Its disheartning to say the least that people cant see past the weight. Im sorry..  Let us know what your thinking about walking and like I said if days and times work out I would come!

Hi...I love to walk but unfortunately I am in St. Cloud. I hope you can find someone to walk with.  As for the weight and the girlfreinds....I say that is their loss. It is awful how people dicrimanate.....they don't even give it a chance. You have a great attitude toward weight loss...I wish you the best and hope you somehow can get the WLS you so much want. I will keep you in my prayers. connie d

I'm up for walking.  Just let me know when and I'll do my best to be there.  I come with a Squishy stroller, but I'm there often to walk already since it's so darn cold... and snowy. I'm really sorry to hear about the let down.  I remember being there.  It sucked.  I was lucky enough to find someone who could look past my weight and we got married right before I had my surgery.  It took many years to get there though.  And lots and lots of duds.
