Wanna be workout buddies?

So, I've totally lost my motivation and direction. Again. It is clear to me that I cannot do this on my own -- I need an external force pushing me. I know there are others out there like this... so, I was wondering, would you like to push me if I push you back? :)

I just want someone (or more than one?) to remind me to work out and that I shouldn't give up, blah blah blah. I'll do the same back. It can be as simple as messaging each other once a day going, "Hey, how's it going? Have you worked out? If not, get up & do it right now."

Thanks guys. ♥

    I am utterly overwhelmed by all of the responses and friend requests! I'm typing up a mass starter PM right now to send all of you & get to know you/your goals & vice versa, so keep a look out for it :)

    Thank you all so much, I really didn't think this many people cared.

    Anybody in Utah? I could use a physical (as opposed to on-line) workout buddy as well. But I'd love some extra support any way I can get it.

    Any opinions on 24 hour Fitness vs Gold's for gym memberships? I'm just working out at home and with videos right now.
