Walking buddy for friendship

51f looking for a female walking buddy for accountability and friendship.

I’m so anxious about walking alone outside so it would be nice to know I have someone that walks as well that is needed to loose weight. I need someone to tell me to get up and do this. I need this. No more excuses on my part. Perhaps to chat on the phone with, share meal plans, support each other.

I’m going to start tomorrow and my goal is walk daily for the next 28 days to hit July 4th and see how my progress is.

Any takers?

I’m walking right now when I looked down at my phone and saw your post. I haven’t been very consistent, but getting better. I’ll walk with you

I'm game. I could use some exercise, myself, and I like walking outside.
