Hey yall. I was on here before and lost 70 pounds. Needless to say I gained some back and lost my structure. I’m on my way to getting back on track. My 35th birthday is in April and my boyfriend and I are going to Jamaica in May. I’d love some support.

    Welcome back!

    I'd be happy to be your "support group" in Jamaica. That sounds great. Send me the ticket!

    In the meantime, 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.
