I've worked out sporadically for about 5 years now. I used to be a member of 24 Hour Fitness, but switched to the YMCA so I would have a workout buddy, but she bailed :( Anyway, I did MMA for a few months in 2007. I have since met with a personal trainer and I am on my way to finally being who I want to be.

If it were such a "loveable" thing, everyone would be fit. It's not loveable, it's hard work... but it makes you feel a sense of accomplishment.
