*Bumping up this thread from down below*

Hi everyone. I was reading through the workout buddy requests, and thought why not get a thread going where we can all raise hands and get a little online group going? Who's in? I am! Also maybe as we post we're in, we could come up with some idea's. Like to post 3-4x a week, maybe measure or weigh in once a week. Post a weekly exercise plan maybe on Sunday's? Or something to that effect? Whatcha think?

I am totally new to ivillage but had to de-lurk to join this thread. I just decided to get serious about working out as I drove in to work this morning. Perfect timing!

Maybe we could each set our own individual goals for the week on Sunday and then check in each day to meet our goal or get support. Too often?

Thanks for starting this!

Well thanks for de-lurking and welcome aboard the weight loss train, choo-choo! LOL! Personally I don't mind checking in daily, as I pretty much do anyway, lol! That sounds good to me. I want to first congratulate you on starting a weight loss goal. Secondly here's a site you may find very helpful in this journey, it's called www.sparkpeople.com and you set goals, record food intake, calories, exercise, just all sorts of things. I love the place, and hope you do as well. Plus it's free to join, and also offers diet plans. I don't follow any of that quite yet, but love the food tracking and find it such an easy site to use. But yeah, I'll get my goals set to post on Sunday, and am pretty much always around if you ever need a burst of inspiration or motivation, or just to vent! Anyway, nice to met ya, and let's have some workout fun!

i was going to suggest using http://www.zelky.com, which not only lets you track your workouts and fitness goals, but also let's you set up a "team" homepage where you can share messages/motivations/successes as well as photos, schedules, etc. that may be a good place to start the "virtual workout buddy" group for those of us that are trying to get in shape together!

(btw, it's free)
