Time to get serious

Hello! After several years of hit or miss exercise and waaaaayyy too much Corona, I've decided it's time to get it together. I need to get rid of the 20ish pounds that have crept up on me in the past 5 years. I am interested in lifting all the heavy things and looking for friends who will interact to keep me accountable. Of course, you don't have to be into lifting for us to support each other, but I do prefer people who are willing to be honest, not just nicey nice. They're just feelings and I will get over it if you hurt them so keep it real is all I ask and I will do the same.
