Support Buddy Needed- Loves the outdoors!

Hello there!
I'm looking for some support buddies to help me get fit. I am a 25 year old female who loves music and the outdoors. I have worked most of the last 7 years as a paid outdoor guide/instructor and stayed naturally in shape. I somewhat loathe gyms and running and prefer just to go hiking, cycling, climbing, or paddling. Now that I am transitioning to a more sedentary/stable lifestyle, spending all day outside is no longer my routine and my body is suffering from it.
I'm 5'5" and weigh 143 right now. I know I'm still an average weight, but to do the kind of activities I like I need to be in much better shape. When working in the outdoors, I normally weigh 128 and am muscular. Plus, my overly expensive water-dirt-bear proof clothes (joking on the bear part) don't fit and buying new ones is way out of my ability.
If anyone is in a similar situation, or just very friendly and wants mutual support, please let me know! I need to be held accountable and encouraged!
As a sidenote-- and I wish I didn't have to say this-- I'm not looking for anything even mildly romantic and would be very uncomfortable with a situation like that. Potential friends only!

Good thing you mentioned the romantic part....I may have hit on your non picture/ no info account simply because you are female. I would hope that you would give us a little more credit than that.
I wish you the best of luck on MFP.0 -
Hi MtnKat,
I have never tried friending anyone on MFP or posting anything before this and didn't know quite what to expect. Better safe than sorry, eh? I appreciate your wishes of luck and I wish you the same!
Cheers,
