I am pretty annoyed at people sometimes. They see what I am doing and how much fun I am having getting in shape and just having a better lifestyle, and they want to join in. Well, I'm all for it. But every single day there is an excuse as to why they can't do whatever.
Wanna go to the gym? Can't.
Wanna go for a walk? Can't.
Wanna come to my Hip Hop/Pound/Zumba class? Can't!
Well, you know what I CAN'T do anymore?! Care. Because if you don't care, why should I? Stop whining that you are over weight, that you want to be thinner, that you are tired of being a size 18 with no energy to play with your kids if you are not going to do anything about it. I have given more than enough opportunities for you to get off your butt and do something. I've even offered to pay for a class, just so you can see what it is like!
Part of it is my fault, I guess. I just want a work out partner so bad, but I am apparently looking in the wrong place. My friends only care about Gaming for the most part. Sometimes to even imply that the class I went to at 7 is 'interfering' with our Game night that also starts at 7...and they refuse to start with out me. Well, I refuse to skip my class so I can sit at a table for 4 hours Role Playing and rolling dice on my turn.
Ugh. Frustrating!

That sucks.
I have learned I prefer to workout by myself so I don't have to worry about anyone else. It's way easier. You make friends at the gym anyway.

Suggest LARPing. That or tell them you rolled a low initiative and you'll be at the gym until your turn comes up for combat.
(But seriously, they need to be more flexible. You've got a life, too.)0 -

Ahh, I love this comment!
LARPing means they would have to be physically active. No go. I am just tired of people in general most of the time. I need better friends who actually care about what I am doing, and not only because it is cutting into time they want to be doing something else.0 -

I hate it when someone wants to walk with me. I say "Only if you are going to really do it and and make it a real exercise, I don't like slow pokes!"
"I love a brisk walk! This is going to be fun going with someone for a change!"
Ok..... fine.... we go to the park, and I begin walking at a 12 minute mile, and they are hollering "Slow down! lets just take a slow stroll!" Then why did you say you wanted to walk with me..... :explode:0 -

^ This happens to me all the time. There's this one girl that's always asking to run with me. And every time it's the same thing. We're 200 yards into the run and she's already whining and complaining, and I'm like "just keep up!" So she tries again but she just can't do it. I think she's just lazy. I mean, my daughter is 7 but shouldn't she be able to keep up with me on a 10km? WTF?0 -
Don't try to get them to go with you. This will be a whole lot more of a lonely "journey" if you try and find others to come with you. You will be nothing but disappointed.0

Seek out some new friends....find them in the classes at your gym and things like that.
Life is too short to listen to whiners complain about things they aren't willing to make any effort to change!0 -
UGH! It's even worse when people do it on a run! I tried letting my husband run with me and he does this. I finally just left him behind one day! He did not ask to run with me again.I hate it when someone wants to walk with me. I say "Only if you are going to really do it and and make it a real exercise, I don't like slow pokes!"

I don't like to work out with anyone else, because I always get side track. If they can't keep up, I don't get the work out I had planned. My husband and I go to the gym together, but he goes his way and I go mine. We have different goals.
I have a pet peeve. I can't stand when people give every excuse in the book as to why they "can't" lose weight. I was talking to a lady the other day and she starts to tell me how she has hypothyroid (but she doesn't know what it's called, it's just her thyroid is slow), so I don't have a thyroid, next excuse, she's got knee problems, so do I. I'm constantly in pain, but I'm trying to build the muscles around the knee to give it stability. Then she starts telling me how she's always been over weight even as a kid, join the club I have too.
Maybe I've turned into a "B", but I've learned there are no excuses for me. I am either doing it or not. I don't look for encouragement or approval from anyone else. This is for me.0 -

Yea, next time I'm 6-7km away from home, I'll try that. It's good for kids to hone their land navigation skills0 -

I just stopped asking people. My little guy makes the best walking partner.
At least you are motivated enough to keep working out. If you don't have an MP3 player invest in one and make that your work out buddy. Once you're in the best shape of your life your friends can wonder why you look so damn good while they're still couch potatoes. 0 -
They have to want to do it, not just give lip service .Until then, they'll talk about it, but when push comes to shove, they don't have the motivation. Nothing you can do to change that.0

I just get bored at the gym sometimes. I have an Ipod that pounds into my ears when I am not in a class of some kind and it keeps me pushing harder to the beat, but it is lonely. My friends are all thin as can be for the most part, they don't really 'get it' I suppose.
Overall, I am just annoyed today. I am tired of the excuses. I have bad ankles that effect my feet, makes them stiff when I am working out and I have to stop every now and then to stretch them out to stop the pain for a little while. But this hasn't stopped me. People have to want to make the change, I can't make them, I know this. But at leas be honest with yourself and with me, no skin off my *kitten* if you don't REALLY want to come with me, just say that the first time instead of having me ask 3 or 4 times and finally giving up!0 -
Gyms? Walks? Activity? Pfft. Most people are too damn lazy to even walk their shopping carts to the cart return.0

i quickly gave up on my obese, creaky mother because she would never go for a walk with me. that was back when i started out, and *walking* was what i was doing. i used to invite her to come walking with me all the time. i love her dearly and i still want her to be healthy--and of everyone i know she is by far the one who needs it the most--she made it abundantly clear to me that she was not interested in doing that. and now i don't do that anymore--i run or longboard instead--and there is no way in hades she can keep up with me. o sry charlie: u missed the boat, and it's not turning around.
at least i tried...
it broke my heart but i'm now over it. if you refuse to walk, i can't relate to you, blood or no.0 -

those are probably the same people who queue for 10 mins in the car park to get closest to the store doors, rather then drive straight in and park at the back lol0 -
Go to the gym/zumba/whatever by yourself.
Or find new friends.0 -

finding new friends sounds simple, but it's not. As adults, we tend to stick to who and what we know for the most part. But it's not about new friends vs. the old. It's about wanting a change and doing it. Not complaining that it hasnt happened yet.0 -
LOL at the image of a bunch of role playing nerds at the gym!!! Excuse me me level 17 elf was getting ready to cast a spell of stamina on me...no you cant use the treadmill. :glasses:0
