Wanted: Walking Buddy Carrollton Area

Hi everyone.  I'm looking for a morning walking buddy (after 8am when I drop my son at school).  I moved to the Carrollton area in April and just haven't made any friends. 

Geez that sounds pathetic.....

A little background:  I'm a stay at home mom whose husband is active duty in the Marine Corps.  We're stationed in Carrollton on recruiting duty; so we are living in a "civilian" neighborhood and not on base (where making friends is easier because of common situations).   That and I don't really get out there.


So...back to topic.  If you're interested and don't live too far send me an email. I don't mind driving to you.   I have not started excercising and this will be my first step.  I had to have a revision a week after my surgery due to complications and then ended up aspirating (spelling?) on the operating room table so my lungs are not 100 %.  So when I say walking I mean walking at a normal comfortable pace.

Thank you!

P.S.
Please don't send or reply with negative comments about my husband being a Marine.  You'd think it unnecessary for me to say that, but you'd be surprised by the ugly things people have said to me since we moved here. (another reason I don't get out)

I'll get back to the rest of your post when I can but I immediately wanted to tell you that you are in a safe place.  No one will respond with any negative remarks about your husband and I'm actually surprised you've had any problems at all since Texas is very supportive of the troops.  Regardless, I'm sorry you've had any problems.  No hating on this board though!

Secondly have you heard about the Obesity Help event in September??? That would be the perfect event to come to so that you can meet tons of people in this area that had or will have WLS.  We have a group in Texas that gets together on a real regular basis that numbers nearly 100 people.  So let me know if you can come.  I have a discount code that makes it $30.00 instead of $50.00 and it's on the weekend of September 25th,
hugs, Y

Hi Yvonne,

Thank you for your post.  My husband and I are interested in going to the OH event.  May I please get the discount code? I'll PM you also.

Thanks

Diana

Hi, Welcome to the group. I love this board because I can read the post here and hear the positive good stuff about weight loss surgery. I wa going to hook you up with my daughter to be your walking buddy because she lives in Carrollton, but then it dawned on me your in a different Carrollton. My Becky lives in Carrollton, GA. You would have liked her she is just the sweetest person in the world.

You don't sound pathetic at all these days everyone is so busy it is tough to make friends.

Good luck with your weight loss and exercise program!

Thank you !
