Yes. She's not committed to it. She doesn't want it bad enough to put in

the effort. If she ever decides that she's really serious about it, she

knows where to find a great workout partner. :-)

mary,

it sounds as though your friend is not ready for lifestyle changes... i know

i have been that way before, and although you want to change, you are not

ready to make the sacrafices necessary to change. let her do her thing, and

don't pressure her, it will only make her resent you as your progress shows

more and more. when she is truely ready she will come to you and ask for

help, let her be for now.

, it is very frustrating when you try to help

someone with their lifestyle, also trying to get

someone to quit smoking (smile) but everyone has to do

it in their own time. She will see how awseome you are

doing and maybe convert...but you can't make it

happen. As would say " she has to use HER will " .

LOL..ok I smoke...I went last week for 36 hours without a cigarette and then

had to smoke one! I have to stop smoking. I am not allowed to smoke in boot

camp, but I figure that will be about the time I will stop!
