Beck Diet Solution - buddy needed

Just done day 1 of the pink Beck Diet Solution book and I think I'm going to need a diet buddy on day 6 (diet coach they call it in the book). Any one up for it? If so we could check in on a thread here most days?

    Does it need to be someone who's experienced with the Beck approach, or just someone who's succeeding/succeeded with loss?

    If it can be the latter, I'd suggest checking out some of the many threads/groups where people share their goals and progress, plus support each other in various ways, maybe do fun challenges. There are examples of those in various parts of the Community, but there are relatively more of them in these two sections:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/motivation-and-support
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/challenges

    There are also long-running threads in Foods and Nutrition or Recipes where people share food/eating support, or in Fitness and Exercise where they share workouts and advice.

    I've been reasonably successful myself, lost from class 1 obese to healthy weight in just under a year back in 2015-16, have maintained in a healthy range since then (after around 30 years overweight/obesity before loss). I participate lots here in the Community (helps me keep my head in the game, and I hope to help other people because staying at a healthy weight has been such a huge quality of life improvement for me) . . . but I'm not very group-y. They're great, help many, just not quite my best personal style.

    Check them out, there are lots of varied options. One or more might be perfect for what you need now, even if not pure Beck.

    Best wishes for success: IME the results are worth the effort!
