Workout Buddy

Hi.....I have been a "silent" member of OH for a while but have really benefited from reading all of your posts....thanks for all of your help!  I am so glad to have this site and the Portsmouth support group meetings!!

I'm 8 months out, (had lapband 3/17/08), have lost 60 lbs (which is awesome, no complaints) but am currently stuck and need to lose another 30lbs. One of the things I need to do is up my exercise.  I have a gym membership to Planet Fitness in Rochester and I can bring a guess for free anytime.......So I was wondering if anyone in the area would like to go to the gym with me as my guest that would be great!!!  It's so much easier working out with someone.  I currently go 2 to 3 times a week, but would like to do more.

Have a great day!!!

Hi Wendy,

I also have a membership to Planet Fitness in Rochester.  I have been having a really hard time going, and if I had someone to workout with, it would probably be so much better for me.  I had lap band on August 15. 

When do you go, what days and times?  Maybe we could work something out.  I work in Rochester, live in Nottingham.

Hi Martha,

Thanks for responding.  I live in Wakefield, work in Wolfeboro.  I can go any day;  I work till 4 PM (Monday - Friday) and could be there around 4:30 PM to anytime after that.  Saturdays and Sundays are also open.  I went yesterday morning at 6:00 AM!!!!!!

I think I saw you at the meeting Monday night in Portsmouth.  You looked great!

Hi Wendy,

I work 8:30 to 5:00 in Rochester, so I could be at the gym and changed by 5:30.  I can also be there in the morning...maybe more so now that I would be meeting someone there.  I would like to work out 4 to 5 times a week.  Wednesday nights are bad for me.  Let's work out a schedule to go. I want to start doing weights again, and I do cardio, so about an hour or so should be good.

Martha,

Sounds great....I can be there by 5:30.  I can't go tonight, didn't bring gym clothes, but can go tomorrow night, or Saturday and/or Sunday.  I've mainly been doing the treadmill, but a friend told me about their stairclimber and how you can burn more calories in the same amount of time.  I also need to work on the weight machines for my "bat wings" and my innner thighs, ugh!!!

Let me know what night is good for you and we can go from there.  It will much more motivating to work out with someone else!

Wendy

I can't go tomorrow night either, but I cold possibly do Saturday morning. let me check my schedule and I will let you know tomorrow.

Hi, wow what an afternoon.  I had my boss in my office, I had the phone ringing..trying to reply...agh.  Anyway, I have plans tomorrow night, but I could probably go Saturday morning.  I have to be in Rochester by 1:00 Saturday, but I can shower at the gym, so lets try and plan something for Saturday morning.

I was lucky, my boss has been out of the office for the last two days!! 

Saturday sounds good, only thing I have is an 11 AM for waxing.  I'm an early morning person so if that works for you let me know. 

Aw man, I want a work out buddy!  Rochester is kinda far for me to travel tho.

Glad you found a workout buddy Wendy!  And welcome!

Well if you ever get to Rochester, let me know!!

By the way, you look great!
