I'd like somebody to hold me accountable and push me to walk even when I don't want too. We are starting The Biggest Loser at my gym and I've been trying to lose weight since I graduated in May with a lot of yo-yoing. I go at least three times a week, and I'm working on my diet, but I know I still don't move enough.

So, any ladies who still live close to campus want to meet up to walk...I'm about three blocks from frat court. We can walk Lake Johnson, or just around the block a couple of times. Tuesdays and Thursdays would be most important to have a buddy since I usually don't get home until right at dusk, but ideally I would like to walk five days a week. Thanks!

i need a jog/walk buddy

but i'm a dude

1/12/2010 8:03:45 PM

It's too cold to walk.

I quit walking when the "snap" happened and my whole face chapped. Gotta go to the gym instead.

Good luck!

I'd like a woman running buddy, but I live in Durham.

1/12/2010 8:15:37 PM

ew, face chap

1/12/2010 8:51:36 PM

I'll walk with you... in the gym

eh, i'm way way way out of shape and i'd be holding him back

i've changed my diet drastically, so that part is under control. need to get the exercise part going now.

I wouldn't be totally opposed to a guy if we met for coffee or something before hand. Understandably, I'm not going to walk Lake Johnson around dark with someone I've never met before.

What kind of schedule were you thinking? Are you close by? Be advised, I've never been a runner, this will just be a nice walk, maybe working up to a power walk type of thing.

cardio is best with a partner!

1/13/2010 1:10:48 PM

It would have to be 2 girls walking, or a guy and a girl

2 dudes walking would be gay as shit, unless they were banging

1/13/2010 1:39:31 PM

2girls1walk

1/13/2010 1:40:49 PM

^^how is that not gay?

Getting in shape from....walking? Seriously? Hope you have a lot of spare time on your hands.


Nonetheless, good luck in your quest.

i think its great way to start out for those in poor CV shape, i recommend it to anyone looking to get started on losing weight, eventually working up to more intense forms of cardio, but for starters, I'd rather build up one's endurance than scare them to death with a 180 HR

1/13/2010 2:17:38 PM

hehe, a 180HR for someone in bad CV shape might do more than just scare them to death

If you're in buildings a lot take the stairs, pass on the elevator.

1/13/2010 2:34:01 PM

I'm also male, but I'd be up for walking lake johnson.

1/13/2010 2:37:01 PM

Well, post your schedule and we'll see what meshes.

1/13/2010 6:42:58 PM

I'll walk with you! I'm generally a runner, but it's been killing my back. I wouldn't mind walking the lake with you, I may even bring Meatstick, the weiner dog (Oh, and despite the SN, I am a girl)

I live in Walnut Creek Apts, and I get home from work around 5:45ish...so if you're ok with it being a tad darker?

1/14/2010 12:32:11 PM

I am a rapist, i would love to walk with you

1/14/2010 12:38:55 PM

I love how you don't want to go walking with a guy near Lake Johnson, too likely that they'll rape you and sink you in the lake.

Honestly, If I went with you, by the time we got out there I'd be way too exhausted to go chasing you down with a knife, but that's just me.

1/14/2010 2:12:46 PM

I hope you carry pepper spray/a stun gun/a small pistol, whistle, and cell phone on these walks, even if it's two of you.

1/14/2010 2:50:05 PM

that dachshund is adorable

1/14/2010 11:12:58 PM

Haha...thanks. She's definately my little Meatistick...(short for Meatstickington)

1/15/2010 3:22:43 PM

Well, to be honest, most of the guys I've actually met off T-Dub, I wouldn't be so concerned about raping me as not having much to chat about on the walk, lol. I said I wouldn't so much mind a guy, as long as we met before in public, is that really such a ridiculous request? Lake Johnson is a large wooded area, I'm just trying to not be stupid about meeting random folks off the internetz, geez.

Meatstick, sounds great. My Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would fit nicely with that, but Tuesdays and Thursdays would have to be a little later, say 6:15?

1/21/2010 7:30:42 PM

^ I might want to join yall! A lot of people walk 'the loop' in Trailwood Hills/Lineberry. That might be a more lit, less scary area....actually some parts of Lineberry are a little sketch at nightime.
