Smile I am new and interested in forming a "women only" walking/support group in my area...

Hello everyone. I am new here. I am looking to find women in my area who would like to form a walking/support group. I have done the online support group thing before, but I find I just need a lot more support that only "in person" meetings can offer. Also I feel that forming a walking group is alot more fun and encourageing then walking alone. The problem is everything out here costs money to join and I don't have it to spare, so I would like to try and form my own free group. I have listed my basic information in my profile, but to save you the time of looking for it, I will tell you here. I am 24 years old. I am happily married with no children yet, but one spolied dog... I live in Holiday, Florida. I want to loose about 100pds. I am currently at 262, standing 5'5. I am an emotional eater. I have an anxiety disorder that I am dealing with day to day, although it has goten better, it is still there and has a mind of it's own at times. I feel a support group is cruecial to me because I basically have no friends. Although I am happily married and very thankful to have a loving husband, I have no girlfriends and that, I miss having. It's not that I don't want friends or can't have them. I am sorry to ramble on, but I want to honestly introduce my self. There is so much more to share, but I will save that for those of you that would be interested in hearing it. Thank you for reading my post, I hope to hear from you soon.

CR- I can't think of anyone in Florida right now in our group, but feel free to talk about any of your issues in the EDS weekly forum. Welcome!

Chris

Cr,

I know exactly how you feel, even if not a support "group" I would just love to have a real life walking buddy in the same weight loss league as myself. I needed to lose 85lbs pre pregnancy. ( I am due on 8/22 and scheduled for induction on 8/16) I have gained 14lbs during pregnacy so far. I do live in Florida, but I am not even sure where
Holiday is, that pretty much tells me it's not close. I live in Palm Bay in Brevard county on the east coast.

Good luck to us both!
Lisa
