I have had the worst time finding friends. I tried a couple outdoors groups, but even though I could keep up with them on hikes I felt that they where almost afraid that my fat would rub off on them. My friends I have now think I am insane and do not understand why I want back to my old life style so bad and think its just a "thing" I am going through. I even tried posting on CL for training buddies. no luck here.
