Accountability and Success!

UTMom81

I just have to share a couple of groups that have made all the difference for me in my weight loss journey. I've tried weight loss in the past with varying success. I've even tried MyFitnessPal before, but never with the success I've had since Thanksgiving. One of the biggest things I have done that has enabled me to be successful this time (I've lost 41 pounds now and am no longer obese and almost out of the overweight category of BMI and into the "normal" range) is to join and participate in the Fat 2 Fit Community Group. We do a challenge every month and a new one begins this Sunday (I think that's right). We weigh in every week and groups compete against other teams for weight loss goals. Having an active group of "friends" with whom to share the good, the bad, and the ugly along this journey has made all the difference for me. I post in Fat 2 Fit every night (our team does daily "check ins" that have really helped). Another group that I am a member of and post in every morning is the "Just Give Me 10 Days" group. We weigh in every morning and post our numbers and little notes about what is going on. Between both of these groups, I have found the accountability that has enabled me to figure out what works for me and my body and make a few friends along the way. You might want to give it a go!
