Looking for Workout Buddy in Portland, Maine!

I copied this idea from poeticjustice_2001 (hi!) but I think it's pretty brilliant. As I told her, I feel like this website is a pretty safe place and that we've all formed a community. Of course there are creeps everywhere but I'm pretty comfortable with meeting someone from this site to exercise or share diet tips...I hope people feel the same!
So here's my personal ad of sorts:
I am searching for a workout buddy in my area. All my friends have bailed on me and as we hit the winter months, I'm afraid of getting off track and gaining weight.
I live in Portland, Maine and I'm a member of a local gym here. I would prefer it my buddy was a member of the same gym because that's where I need the motivation. I also take Zumba classes in Freeport, Me and Scarborough, Me a few times a week and we could meet up for that, too.
I just need someone to feel obligated (not in a negative way) to meet up a few times a week to keep me going to gym. We don't have to work out side by side, just hold each other responsible for showing up.
Hopefully we can be friends outside of that, too!
If anyone's interested and in the area, please let me know!
Thanks!
