Welcome Sphe!
A great place to start is looking at some of the "Most Helpful Posts" to get a jump start, then set some goals. Check these out:- Most Helpful Posts - Getting Started (Must Reads)
- Most Helpful Posts - Health and Weight Loss (Must Reads)
- Most Helpful Posts - Success Stories (Must Reads)
As far as a supportive community, I'm part of a group that is made up of really supportive people working on being better versions of themselves. Our motto actually is "STICK TO IT." It's called "Lose 1 Pound a Week and Keep it Off." Anyone here is free to join. There's two requirements: post goals once a year (they can be revised each quarter) and do a weekly weigh-in. We have other ongoing challenges that are optional, and we try to do special challenges too. It's a private group, so you have to request to join, but everyone gets approved. Then you've got a few weeks to enter your goals.
Come join us if you like.0
