Where to find support?

SunnyOutlook08

Hi, I've been using MFP to log my food for about a month now. I was exercising frequently but not losing any weight because I wasn’t changing my diet. Someone told me diet is 80% of losing weight and exercise only accounts for 20% so that’s when I decided to be more accountable for what I put in my mouth by logging my food into MFP. I’ve lost about 4 pounds so far in the past month by continuing to exercise regularly and trying to eat healthier.
I’m doing pretty good on my own but could really use some more motivation to keep it up, especially with the healthy eating. I am looking for a group where we can all motivate each other, share pictures of the healthy meals we eat, share recipes, have an activity and weight check in, set goals and make sure we’re on track to meet those goals, share tips, etc. I find that having weekly goals and being held accountable really helps keep me on track. This is the first time I’m visiting the MFP community so I’m not really sure how to best utilize it but if anyone has any suggestions or groups or websites or any other places where I can find this kind of support I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks and good luck to all!

You might like the group option on MFP. From your description you might enjoy Recipe Swap.

I started this group yesterday! We really get started on the 18th but I'll be posting recipes consistently and others have been as well! We'll do weigh ins and challenges throughout the remainder of the year!

so AWESOME I got to read your post. Good job so far, keep up the good work. I would like to add you. I am honestly getting my motivation form you right now. what worked for me was hot sauce. Recently I made lettuces vegie sandwich. Basically vegies in my lettuces leaf, with hot sauce. Keep up the good work
