how did you find your workout partner?
Is there anyone from north dakota here?

    I asked my BF to go with me.

    Look for coworkers, family members or friends that are interested in working out with you.

    I SOOO badly want a workout partner. All my friends aren't serious about the gym so it's just annoying to go with them. I lack motivation and I would love to have someone to workout with. We would both encourage each other to push ourselves to our maximum potential, but I haven't found anyone yet. I'm all by myself now. :cry:

    Every time I get a workout buddy, they end up distracting me.

    Honestly maybe you should try craigslist. I was actually thinking of doing that. But you just have to be smart about it, since ya know it's craigslist and all.

    I end up talking instead of working out if someone goes with me.... 99.9% of the time I go alone, jam some tunes and focus on what I am doing!

    I went with a friend from work in our lunch hour. Kept us both keen as we didn't want to let each other down. But then I moved jobs :sad:

    Tried to entice a co-worker, he didn't bite. I've been doing it alone. Lately I've been slipping, mostly because of other things that have started to come up at the time I used to go lifting.

    i have a weight loss support group, you can join it if you like. However a support group is different than actually having someone there with you, i want to be pushed and someone to motivate me. i am always the pusher and motivator!

    I desperately wish i had one, but it seems as if there is no one in Ipswich that actually uses MFP seriously.
