Hey folks I'm wondering if there are others like me who are missing chatting to people face to face in real time about the good days and the bad of weight loss and getting fit??

I meetup with a couple of other business owners weekly to talk through what's going on in my business and would love something similar for my fitness journey. Maybe not weekly but perhaps fornightly or monthly. Could have some structure on it, topics to cover each time, let someone take a 'hot seat' ie focus on them (I know it can be uncomfortable but it's very helpful) and everyone do a check in like 'what went well this week'. 'what was hard', 'what do you need help with', 'what would you like to change' etc

I'm based in Ireland but I meet with my ladies who are based in North America so I guess we could try to find people in complimentary timezones? If there was enough demand it might be good to look at having a certain number but that's if people are interested.

A little about me, Rose here, from Ireland, I'm 36 (but forget often and think I'm still in my 20s), I run my own business, it's early days so not much money yet but really enjoying it. I kayak, cycle and swim, used to windsurf (do from time to time), I've lost 23lbs so far and have about another 55lbs to go (so this is new lifestyle, long term stuff for me). I love camping, reading, horses, am an aunty to 3 brilliant kids and have a goofy as all so and so BF. I'm also a tech nut but I love being out in nature. While I'm not the most athletic I like being moderately active, like doing some lifting and cycling and soup have been two great tools in my weight loss so far. Hopefully connect with some of you and any suggestions throw them my way!! :smiley:
