Looking for Hillsboro friend...

I'd really like to find someone in Hillsboro who wants to team up for exercise and moral support! Any takers?

Hi Alason, I'm not in Hillsboro, but I live in Beaverton near Washington Square. I don't know what kind of exercise you are interested in, but I've been going to water aerobics and lap swim near my house. Feel free to email me if you're interested. Take care, Marcie

I would love to be your exercise buddy. I live in N. Plains (formerly Hillsboro), which is only 3 miles away. I'm postop and a bit older than you (40), but if that is okay let me know. Beth 311/140/140 RNY 4-2-02

Hi, Beth! Thanks for responding! I still haven't heard back from insurance, but it should be soon now. I'm planning to have the lap-band ASAP (once approved)! I don't know what 311/140/140 means. Is it something to do with your surgery? I'd like to get an exercise schedule going that includes walking and weight training. Walking to start, and later weight training to firm. I'm a PE and Health teacher, but I don't have a job right now. I'm hoping to get one at a middle school here in Hillsboro for next year. If I do, we would have access to a track to walk on (in safety) and a weight room. Do you work? Do you have kids/a husband? I've got two daughters, 3 and 8 and a husband. If we can work out our schedules I think it would be really great to have a work-out buddy. It would keep us focused! You can email me directly at [email protected]. Maybe we can exchange phone numbers. Thanks again for responding! Alason

Hi Alason. I'm not working either, so I am very flexible on workout times. I have way too much time on my hands. I have a 10 year old son and a 19 year old son that is going to college in California. 311/140/140 means I weighed 311 lbs before I had surgery. I currently weigh 140 lbs and my goal weight is 140 lbs. It is typically used as part of our signatures, but I'm not sure why the tradition was started. I'll write you at your email address. Talk to you soon. Beth 311/140/140
