Looking for a weight loss friend in Portland, OR

I find that it's easier to tackle this with a few friends in your corner, whether it's walking buddies or someone there to relate to the difficulties.  I moved to Portland two years ago, and haven't told anyone here in Portland about my surgery. Myabe it's out of fear of being judged (everyone has their opinion on the best way to lose weight) or maybe just a fear of trust.  I do know that someone who has had the surgery could be a trusting soul.
