I'm rather new so if I'm doing something wrong, let me know...
I searched to try and find if there was already a group like this, but I didn't see one so here's my idea for a group/club thingy...
The Great Outdoors - for those like hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, kayaking/canoeing, rock/mountain climbing, camping, orienteering, horseback riding, watersports, or heck, even just going to the local park for sports, running, walking, skating, whatever...
if you like exercising outdoors or are exercising to prepare yourself for outdoorsy things, this is the place for you.

An intro... My name's elise. I'm 23, married and mom to 3 little young'ins. I used to be a real outdoorsy person... I actually spent the majority of my young life outside hiking, fishing, learning about nature and getting a great workout in the process. But by the time I was 16 and a young mom, I found I couldn't get out as much as I used to... and the more time I spend inside, the more weight I gain.
I'm a born and raised Louisianian so my family is really into the outdoors, appreciating nature and all that you can learn from and do in it. So this year, my New Year's resolution is to get back to my 'roots' and get back outside. I know that sounds kind of silly considering I'm inside on the computer posting about it... but I need a lot of work before I can just jump back into hiking miles up and down hills and would like to lose quite a bit of weight before I go tubing again.
I thought this group would be a great source of support and information for those of us who want to get out and start some new adventures.

If you have any resources, advice or questions to share, please post them. To get this group off to a running start, I'm going to make a mini website for any links, articles, resources that could be archived for everyone's convenience. I'll edit this post and put the url here so check back later.
If you have any input on that (ie: what you want on the group's website), let me know.
Can't wait to meet any other outdoorswomen or those interested in becoming one...
