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!

    @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
