Need friends to keep accountable and for positive vibes

Heamous

I have been going through a lot of crap lately and I have been staying pretty positive. I think eating healthy and working out will help my state of mind and help me stay positive through all of this. I know that when I have friends and positive people around me it is easier to stay accountable. Let's be friends and motivate eachother.

I'm sorry that you're going through things, but I agree that taking care of your body does help your mental state! It's hard to get out of that fog though

Hi.

if you want to try something currently short-term, @MoStacy is looking for people for her Holiday Motivation Challenge (25 or more days of exercise / activity in the 31 days between now and Christmas). There are 4 of us so far, and we would LOVE some more company. Starting late doesn't matter, the primary goal translates to "6 days out of 7 per week till Christmas Eve"

Or check out either December Ultimate Accountability Challenge or Fat2Fit Challenge/ Support. I am in both and they both have very wide-ranging age groups / journey points. Read the intro to both and see if either might suit your style. Both are very welcoming.

UAC is about developing the habit of activity and accountability (not weight based in any way) You never get "bumped" from the challenge; you just do (or don't) get the virtual acknowledgement of your name on the Winners' Circle list. Many people take several months of trying to get to that point. Even the moderator doesn't manage it EVERY month.

Fit2Fat subdivides into teams that each have their own chat threads, so again there is a reasonably-scaled support team aspect - very friendly and always ready to suggest strategies for any particular individual roadblocks. It IS weekly weigh-in based.

Both are open for registrations now for the next month's session.
