Partner for "motivation" wanted in get fit/lose weight regime

[soyamocha3]

I need to lose some weight (about 3 stone) so I am looking for someone who has a similar amount of weight to lose (okay so I know most of East Dulwich ladies are slim but hopefully there will be some larger ladies out there hiding!!) The idea would be that we could motivate each other, perhaps meet up to go for a brisk walk (eventually a light jog!)or cycle ride, even a swim. If we start now we could certainly be in better shape in a few months time. The autumn can be a lovely time to spend walking or running in the park and I know Dulwich Park has some exercise machines - yippee. I am going to start the regime regardless. I owe it to myself and my partner, but I just thought it might be nice to have another person/or people to share the journey with. I live locally and turned 49 at the beginning of this month - I don't want to be fat and 50! plus I would love to feel fitter. So if this interests you or your have a suggestion (nice ones only) get in touch. Thank you. PS If you are currently attending WW and just want someone to exercise with occasionally that would be fine too - now I am sounding desperate!

Is this a Men Only thing?

PM'd you...

Sorry for the misunderstanding - the post was really for women who I supposed would be more interested in this type of thing. I am female. Sorry it that did not come across.

I think you could also team up with people wanting to lose eg a stone. That last stone can be very hard and their earlier success will be good for your motivation, no?

Yes, actually that is a good point and one I had not thought of. Seeing how well they had done would definitely inspire me. Thanks for that suggestion. I have heard back from four people so it looks rather positive.

So women only.

I wouldn't mind joining in although I am 60 and do not jog. However, I do swim at Dulwich baths and cycle for about 1 hour at a time. Put on 2 sizes since breaking wrist and foot about 3 years ago and now having problems getting the extra off.
