Walking buddy!

[Crazeecat1]

Having to do this for health reasons. This is day one, I am logging everything I eat and drink. But struggle on the exercise front. Would like to know if there is anyway of linking up with others in my area to find a walking buddy.

Hi and welcome, Crazeecat

If you click on your name at the top of the screen, you'll see "people near me". It's possible that someone on here, lives close to you, but I'd be more inclined to see if you have a local walking group, or start one of your own

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey
