Looking for the Right Supprot Group

MerA822

Hi all MFB's,
i just joined 7 days ago & found a couple of supproting people whom i thank a lot but now i'm looking for a motivation & Supprot Group to be in , i'm looking but most of the Groups are already started a while a go i tried in couple of groups but no feed back yet , there are a lot of groups & i'm sure they are great &/those days are the one i need to be motivated the most .

if any one else feel the same way please tell me that i's not only me .

Yeah, I haven't really found a good support group yet and nobody responded to one of my posts asking for motivation...ouch! You could always start a group though!

I didn't know there were support groups out here but let me wish you luck. You can do it!

see_jenn_run, I always look at someone's profile before sending or accepting a friend invite. I like to see what they say about where they are in their lives and what they are trying to accomplish on MFP. Just a thought, it seems you have your profile on a restricted setting where "browsers" like me can't see it, just people you've already friended.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out the lay of the land here but now I know my profile is super restricted so maybe that's why I'm not making many friends! I'm not sure what kind of groups there are here-it seems like a lot of them involve some kind of physical challenge, having a certain number of pounds to lose, or something like that...good luck figuring it out though!

Please feel free to friend me if you are looking for support- I am also. I've been using the site to track for about a month or 2, but just logged into the community a few days ago. I think I really need support, its hard to find other folks that "get it," in every day life. I am very happy to cheer on others. I've had a long term struggle, now doing ok but digging in to maintain a recent wt loss. I am a mom of 2 girls, early 40's, work full time... not much of a social life outside of family. I do not know how groups work here. Happy to have new friends!

You know they say "if you make it they will come". Figure out what kind of support you're looking for and start a group. There are probably plenty of people sitting there lurking day after day thinking "I wish there were a group for me." Another idea is to keep refreshing the recent posts or do a search for what you're looking for. Some threads are more active than others, but not all of them show up all the time under recent posts. In the past 5 weeks I have joined at least 4 threads for people with 100+ to lose, but that didn't happen in one day because they weren't all posting at the same time.

I guess my big point is don't give up. There are others on here needing and wanting to do the same things you are; you just have to find them or make it so they can find you.

Good luck!!
