I'm married. I have two grown children. I have two dogs. I love to eat. I have put on about30 pounds. I'm working on losing that. I came here for maybe support and being accountable. I cannot do this alone.

    Welcome Marion!

    The good news is you can do it if you put in some effort and most of all if you STICK TO IT. The bad news is you have to do it alone. You are the only one who decides what goes into your mouth. You are the only one you can be accountable to.

    If you are looking for camaraderie among people striving for similar goals, you might enjoy a group I'm involved with called "Lose 1 Pound a Week and Keep it Off." It's a private group, so when you click on that link you'll have to request to join, and you'll be approved pretty quickly.

    There's only two requirements. First, enter your starting weight and goals for each quarter of the year. Easy. Second, enter a weekly weigh-in. Also easy. We have some ongoing other challenges, all of which are completely optional. They can be fun. We also try to do a "special challenge" each week, although we don't always get one up. The group is run by a few volunteers, and we're off doing fun things sometimes.

    You'll find camaraderie, and while you are the only one you can be accountable to, some people find it easier to be accountable to themselves when they share with others.

    Check it out if you want. Invite your friends. We're not really recruiting, but... we're kind of recruiting.
