I tried the area buddy group but haven't had any luck. So, today I posted to the over 50 (I'm 57) and posting here now. I'm half way through, lost 24 lbs and have 26 lbs to go. It seems I have reached a plateau or something because the weight is not dropping quite as fast as the 24 lbs did. I'm in the San Jose/Silicon Valley area and would like a walking buddy who would be willing to walk 2-3 miles at a decent pace. If someone is interested but would like to start out a bit slower and less miles. I'd be willing to do that if after a couple of weeks we could ramp it up a bit. I could motivate someone else to increase walking speed/time and having a walking buddy would really help me to get through this slump.
