in Introduce Yourself
I'm a former collegiate athlete and really miss being in the best shape of my life. Work and grad school have taken up so much time that I lost my routine so I need some motivation to get it back! It would be really great to know others who want to do the same:)

    Hey girl I'm in the same boat! Former college softball player and then real life hit after graduation. I've been SLOWLY going for a year but trying to kick it in gear now. It's a tough journey but you can do it! You're definitely not alone :)

    Awesome! It's nice to know you aren't alone. Leaving a sport is a tough transition!

    Former wrestler here, kinda makes these extra 40lb a harder hit knowing I how important weight is in my sport.

    @MommaMonkeyNgo of course! I've been told weight is a key aspect in that sport. Just gotta stay dedicated!

    Shoot I gained 40 pounds after getting out of school sports 2 years ago. Got hooked on caffeine and other unhealthy food and strayed away from my clean eating diet. Right now I look nasty lol but I know I can get my body back !!!! 19 yrs old still in my prime

    It was definitely a ton of running at my school! So, I'm trying to get back that speed and endurance as I shed some more pounds. How often do you guys go to the gym? I love the outdoors so much more than a treadmill but it's freezing outside, so I gotta suck it up haha

    Ahh I've been lucky with weather, I'm in Texas so it hasn't been colder than 60° in weeks! I usually just go on long runs and do calisthenics at the house cause I can't afford a gym membership right now @NicoleS16

    Totally with you on the gym membership thing! It can be pricey! I go to planet fitness for $10 a month here but if I lived in Texas, I would be saving my money and hitting up the outdoors. 60 degrees sounds fantastic, I'm so jealous! Keep it up :)

    2 years ago I split up with my now ex boyfriend and got very ill, I was around 9st and dropped down to just under 7st I then became happy in my self put the weight back on, I then (last summer) joined the gym become a fitness freak and managed to get to a good weight and I was fit.. then I met my boyfriend and it all went out the window and im now the heaviest I have ever been around 10st 3/4lb. I need to get fit and back down to a healthy weight again around the 8/8.5 st mark, as you can see my weight has been a constant battle and my life plays a huge roll in it! im on here looking for some inspiration! Plus me and my boyfriend are off the Vegas in August and I need to look good!!!

    @lilytomlin97 ugh I know how that goes; the boyfriend weight gain is the worst! Haha they spoil you with food and treats then all of a sudden you're overweight saying "what happened!?"
    You'll get the body you want by August no problem!
