Anyone need a workout buddy in Boca Raton? I am not loosing the weight like I should.

I'd definitely be up for it if I lived there. I WISH I lived there.

(Good luck nonetheless.)

I can't work out by myself either.....

That's why I wear an Ipod and work out with U2, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Co, Bob Segar, Pink Floyd....to name just a few....(showing my age)

What about classes at a gym. There's lots of peeps there

I wish I could have a workout buddy also but I can never find anyone in north Philly. :-[

Fitness Pal friends group is helpful for many people in this area - The Best thing for me was group fitness classes ie... Bootcamp - boxing - spin - Zumba - Power Yoga etc...

The bottom line is mental for me - exercise has nothing to do with "like it" and everything to do with its necessary. Like bathing and brushing your teeth it's necessary every day and you do it.

A secret ... You will see measurable differences in the exercise realm much faster than the weight loss scale realm. Usually within 7 days of consistent exercise you can see (can walk 15min instead of only 10 for ex) and feel a difference.

I have yet to meet a person yet that has lost and kept off significant weight without incorporating exercise - walking - running - etc...

Hope in Your Future is Power in Your Present!

because i am too ashamed to go to a (gym) ..odd its a place you dont see many obese people......hm....

Hey : )

I KNOW how you feel about the gym ; ) I do adopted what I call my "hospital" mind set... You know how they give those paper robes at the hospital (or two n my case) but they never really reach in the back ... But it's not like you have a choice - so at the hospital I would hang my price up at the door and then pick it up when I left ; ) So at gyms I did the same thing : ) also certain gyms like Planet Fitness are geared to down play the look at me look at me crowd - they are also a ridiculous value $ 10 bucks a month

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I started to walk at night. Late night. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Love me some Pandora radio while riding!

I have always thought, everyone is looking at me because I look at everyone. They don't look and I am not the biggest person at the gym. I also go during the early afternoon and it is empty then. I know you work.

Don't let other bother you. At least you are trying to do something. Also having a trainer show you what to do for your body and pains helps, too. I have not done any classes yet because I don't think I could last one hour doing anything. Tell hub to join with you. I go with hub and feel safe. I can be very shy when it comes to things like that.

I have never had a workout partner I just look in the mirror and see my body and that's what's motivates me to want to push harder I work out four days a week for an hour Mon, Thursday so trust me you can do it just think about it it's for your good that's what I tell myself just take your music and rock to the beat that's what get me threw my hour stay motivated and good luck with your weight lost......
