I would like to join or start a group in the Des Moines, Iowa area.  I will be available very early mornings or after 5 pm evenings.  Weekends are open.  I had a walk buddy in Nebraska in 2005.  We walked Monday - Friday for one hour.  It was a wonderful addition to attending meetings and helped with weight loss.  Even more important, I made a great friend for life.  Even one time a week will be better than none.  Can't wait to hear from you!  Penny Beckner, Ankeny
