WalkingSpree has several members who have undergone weight loss surgery (WLS) or are contemplating surgery. This decision often involves a lot of thought and it is not a quick fix. After the surgery, there is still a lot of work to be done to lose the weight.
Well, one of WalkingSpree’s members and a previous member of the month has found a great way to inspire many people who have gone through weight loss surgery and are on their journey to lose weight. Virginia thought that doing youtube videos would be a way to motivate herself and others as she lost the weight. She decided to invite other viewers to be her walking buddy. Over time her subscriber base grew and before she knew it, she had several weight loss surgery (WLS) viewers wearing pedometers and participating in her walking buddies challenge.
“Who wants to be my walking buddy contest?”
Virginia then encouraged everyone to come to WalkingSpree so they could see each other’s stepping totals and have some fun competition and motivation with their own walking club. Their monthly challenges appear to be inspiring many and their forum group is a lively bunch. Virginia is a great example of someone had a goal and found what worked for her and would inspire herself and others.
