in Introduce Yourself
I got this app a few months ago but got super lazy. Anyways, looking for some friends, I've been hitting the gym pretty hard lately and none of my friends in the area will come with me, all overweight and all have excuses. I'm hoping by sculpting my body I can at least convince one to come to the gym with me, as I've convinced my hubs.

Anyways, please add/message me! My name is Lindsy, have a 3 year old and have been out of the Marine Corps for 8 months. Thanks!

    you will not be able to convince anyone to do anything so don't try. if someone wants to get more fit it will come from within not from your "motivating" them better yet annoying them to do what you did.

    from my experience it is better to work out alone sitting around waiting for others is idle time that i could use to get my workout over with

    Fellow 5'3"-er here. Highest weight was a couple years ago at 142 but I usually hover around 135. trying to get down to at least 125 and just be "in shape" and healthy.

    Good job doing it on your own! Friends & family can be great at times for companionship but you have to rely on yourself otherwise you might also use them as an excuse not to do it if they don't... take it from a person with no willpower!
