Looking For Walking Buddy In Chicago



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone or several someones who would be interested in meeting at the lakefront (South Shore area, near 63rd and the Lake Front) to walk at a minimum, three days a week. I work 8-4:30, so it would have to either be early mornings or in the evening. I know I can go alone, but it's a lot more fun when you have a buddy! Hit me up if you're interested and we can make something happen!

Thanks!!

Wish I still lived there. I would. But heck, you don't need a buddy to walk there, too many people out anyhow. Do as you Chicagoans do and put your headseats in and move it. That city is F I T. There is motivation all around you. Don't forget about the volleyball tourneys on the beach all summer! Personally I would get my bike out and enjoy the summer riding along the lake! I miss it sooo much. Enjoy my favorite city, while I hole up here in the a/c in Texas!

OH I live right on the lake front, my husband and I go bike riding all of the time. I just want to get in a good walk in mornings or evenings...and unfortunately, the crime has gotten a bit out of hand lately, so being out when it's still dark alone, doesn't feel safe anymore! Also, I'm just a social person...I like working out with a buddy! Stay cool in Texas! If it's 100 degrees here, it must be 150 there!

Well, if I ever move back (and I am thinking about doing just that), I will revisit this thread. I lived off E. Randolph, but I will move back to South Loop if I decided to head back. The south side has been getting pretty bad, I've heard. Be careful out there. To bad you can't carry concealed. Have you looked into any of the free fitness classes in the summer around the Mill/Grant park area? There is always something going on as a group! Enjoy. You know those 100 degree days are few and far between, and soon it will be time to dig those boots out again! I predict a coooold winter this coming year.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
