Hello from Santa Clara lady looking for Workout buddy

Hi everyone!
I’m Lizz and new to the community and looking for an accountability and in person workout buddy. Thought I’d take a chance and see if any other ladies in the South Bay Area are interested.
I’ve steadily gained a lot of weight from depression over the past five years (yes, even before the pandemic started! It certainly didn’t help.) and I worked with a couple “health coaches” who instilled some toxic mindsets that I’m working through.
Now I’m just trying to get healthy—regardless of weight or appearance—and love the body that I have, no matter the shape or size. I just want to feel strong again, and that can happen regardless of BMI (which I care very little for).
Anyone in the San Jose / Santa Clara area want to meet up and hold each other accountable?

Looking for a buddy as well, what are your goals? Id like to keep it to 4/5 workout days per week. Training for high altitude hike. I’m not in the US though, looking for remote buddies.0
