Looking for friends who are into Lifting or Crossfit

I have never loved any part of this "weight loss journey" until I discovered weight lifting. After a few months of lifting on my own and trying Stronglifts, I got hooked on Crossfit.
I've drunk the kool-aid.
I don't want a lecture nor will I apologize for my addiction.

However, my friends IRL are fed up. They can't possibly deal with me anymore. My IG & FB are very much gym, lifting and CF-centric, I'm sure I'm getting blocked left & right, and I swear all my friends are just like 31361162.jpg

I have had a great group of friends on MFP, carefully selected and filtered over the course of the past year. I would just really love to have some more people to share the CF love with, who get as excited about burpees as I do.

Also, friends who are into lifting, not necessarily fans of CF, also very much welcome.

    I added you. I drank the Kool-Aid, too ;) I CF 5x/week and just started stronglifts on my own, and I love talking lifting and WODing!

    I would love to talk Crossfit with you anytime! I WOD 5 days a week, sometimes 6! I don't have any other close friends who Xfit so naturally, they are not fond of chatting PR's, RX's, snatches, cleans, wall balls, and all that fun stuff!

    I have been on MFP for a while but haven't been on the forums until now.

    I'll add you. I don't do CF but I lift and take kettlebell and cross training classes that incorporate some CF type workouts.

    The problem with crossfit is it's not enough to go in and do your crossfit workouts and get in good shape, people have to post their workouts online and tell everybody they ever knew how great crossfit is. Have a great time getting in shape, just be mindful that there are other things in life besides crossfit. Good luck

    I just lift 4 days a week and burn around 2,500 calories a week in Cardio. Crossfit never crossed my mind/budget/mind.

    I don't drink the kool-aid just Pre-Workout.

    I'm on the kool-aid.

    Been doing crossfit 2x a week for the past couple months as well as trying to eat more Paleo. Love the ever changing workouts and support given by other members.
