I'd be all too happy to move back to CA to be that person for you! :D Unfortunately, I live in the Detroit area now. Yuck.

I'd be surprised if you can't find an exercise buddy there. When I lived in L.A., seems that everyone I knew was into exercising!

Good luck to you!

Hey neighbor!!! I'm here in the LBC!!!! What kind of exercise are you looking to do? I'm not sure I would be the best exercise buddy b/c I'm on a pretty tight training schedule for triathlon season. But I do walk Signal Hill once a week if you are interested in that!! How far along are you in your journey?

I'm in LB. A Signal Hill walk sounds good. I have a gym at work but waking is good.

I love walking The Hill!!! I've been walking it since about 6 weeks before surgery (which was Nov 2011). I "technically" live in S.H. I just walk out my door and head up!! Sometimes I walk up Skyline 3 or 4 times...and other times, I do what I call "big loop" which is simply a long walk all the up and around the hill!!

We could start a little walking group!

I walk up ALL the different streets and trails...BUT, keep in mind, I've been doing it since before my surgery. When I first started, I could not go up Hill St or Skyline without stopping several times!!! Now I'm 115 lbs lighter, which is litterally a load off my back!!! LOL!! You have to start somewhere!!

A walking group would be fun!! I'm game!!!
