Any Roller Skaters in Texas?

I'm 10 weeks post-op, doing cardio (elliptical, recumbent bike, hiphop)4-5x a week. My favorite exercise, however, is rollerskating (not blading).

Are there any other rollerskaters "in tha' house"? Have skates, will travel...

Hi ladies! I was so excited to join you on Sunday, but I have to go out of town tomorrow and won't be back in time. I hope you plan another date soon!

Yes, I won't make it this weekend as well but thank you for the invite, perhaps at a later date, I'll be able to.:straight

Hello All:

Just want to let you know that I had a wonderful time meeting with my LBT skating buddies today at Red Bird Skate! We usually do more talking and supporting than skating, but when we skate, we are burning off some serious calories.

What I like most about our skate meetings is that we don't have to be good skaters; each time we get on the skate floor, it builds our CONFIDENCE.

Most lap band support meetings I've attended in the past involve eating at a restaurant, which is cool. This activity, however, encourages exercise, movement, and supporting one another.

I feel a special bond each time I meet other banders "in person". We will be skating again soon, so come out and join us!:clap2:

I used to Skate Red Bird every Friday and Saturday night when I was a kid. Let me know when you plan another Skate date. I would like to join. I'm pre-band Nov 13th. But I think a great way to start my excersise program. There is another rink off of Ledbetter in Dallas called Southen Skate- an adult skate rink on Sundays, I think.

Lets plan another date!!! Divanita, and Kutia- pick the place!!

I've been reading the older posts and it sounds like ya'll had a great time.

I live in Shady Shores which is just south of Denton, about 30 miles north of Dallas. I live right off I-35.

I haven't been on skates in probably 30 years.... ;)

But it sounds like an awful lot of fun. Maybe if you choose a place north of or this side of Dallas, I could join you if I'm off.

Just about anytime is good for me on Sundays. Just please not early, I like to sleep.

Wow!!! Sounds like fun!! Wish I was in the Dallas area. Actually I spend 6 days a week in a skating rink. My daughter is a competitive roller skater. In fact, she will have her Regional competition in the Dallas area in June of this year. I skated competitively as a teen also, but havent really skated since I put on so much weight. I will for sure get back into it soon though. Im sick of being a bystander.

Maybe I can join you guys some day soon.

The 11th I will be in Harlingen- You guys have fun.

We can do another Sunday also.
