    Exercise Buddy Needed

    Hi ya'll,

    One thing I realized recently is that I enjoy exercise better with a partner, or someone to talk to (it also makes tennis, badminton, or volleyball alot easier ). It seems like all of my friends and family either don't want to, or can't due to scheduling conflicts. I was wondering if anyone from the Northwest corner of CT (I am close to the Torrington area) would be interested. It would be nice to get to know someone a little first and then get moving...

        Thanks guys! I thought this would be a good place to look. I want to exercise with someone that is in similar physical condition as myself, so that we could workout at the same pace.
        A girl at work offered to exercise with me, but she's 120lbs and runs 4x's a week, to prepare for the marathons she competes in.
        I'm not QUITE ready for running yet.

          I agree, Id be a bit intimidated working out with a fit 120 lb'er that is an old pro and working out, me sitting there huffing and puffing trying to keep up. Would make me feel even fatter than I am, lol.

          Also dont wanna go to a gym of skinnies by myself. Plus, having a workout partner gets ya motivated. Your far less likely to just blow off your workout when someone else is expecting you to do your part, ya know?

          Trying to get my flake of a mom to be my workout buddy but she hasnt even started reading the book yet!!! She sees my progress and keeps talking about how she needs to do it but she keeps putting it off. Supposedly she is gonna start the book today. I know getting her working out will be hard though.

          too bad there isnt somewhere to place a want ad, lol

          Wanted: fellow big girl atkineer for a workout buddy in nw indiana


          lol!!

            It was very nice of her to offer though.

            It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




            I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

              ME TOO! My mom's doctor told her she needs to start walking 3 times a week and following a diet program, but she refuses to believe she can do it and comes up with outlandish excuses not to! Ughhh! Family, what are ya gonna do?

                You should try to workout with her. She could probably offer you some exercise advice and tips.

                Trust me i kno all about it! My sister is a trainer and weighs 125 and she drags me to her classes and introduces me to everyone as her sister. I am sure there like wow she is so fat and her sister is so skinny!!!!!!

                I just had to get over it and concentrate on myself and try not think about evryone and have a good time.

                Hope this helps!
