New Group Going to start up!

evajessee

There has been talk about starting a new group up. I thought I would post this topic on the Introduction board to catch members as they sign up. I've been reading and here a couple of weeks and as of this morning I've lost 6 pounds so far. This website is working for me and I'm enjoying it immensely. I am eating great, feel full and have done minimal exercising so far.

If you would like to get in on a new group please post your responses here or send me a private note. Thanks!

I'm up for a new group also. What would we be?

I'm all for it and in the same boat.

I have been doing this for 1&1/2 weeks. Last week I lost 3 pounds and even though I normally weigh myself on Sundays, I'm going to the doctor today so i figured I would weigh myself. I lost 2 pounds already this week and I haven't been working out much because I hurt my shoulder!

I think just keeping track of food and starting good habits has helped a lot. And I can definitely lose 1 more pound by Sunday to keep up the 3 pounds a week goal!!!

Sure what kind of group

pford03

Count me in! I've been on here about 2 weeks and have already lost about 7 pounds, so I know it's working for me. Making me accountable for what I put in my mouth!!

hopeitworks

Wow, you guys are really doing great with your weight loss. Six pounds, seven pounds - that's really great. I wish I could say that. I've only lost two pounds in three weeks, but that's ok. Losing two pounds is sure a lot better than gaining two pounds!!!

Hmmm, what kind of group do you have in mind?

evajessee

Super! We need to be thinking about some names for the group and then we'll take a vote! The purpose of the group is to set personal weight loss goals that we will motivate, encourage and push each other to meet. We'll check in weekly to update on our progress and share ideas, stories, etc ... about things we are doing that are working or not working and get advice.

We can share recipes, health secrets, and any praise reports or issues we're having. Anyone else that has ideas be sure to share! Your opinions and needs count so let's make sure the group is something vital that we can all use and grow from in a healthy way!

Sounds good to me!

I'd like to join too :blushing:

I just joined in January and it would be nice to check in with others in the same boat :bigsmile:

evajessee

Super! I am going to send each one that signed up an email and add them as friends. We need to come up with a group name for ourselves so we can easily locate our group. When and how often do we want to check in and meet up? Anytime or day is super for me. I will post something each day to keep us motivated and I hope that everyone else will drop in and post something of value. It could be your favorite recipe, a tip that's helped you drop weight, a praise report or word of encouragement to the group.

Ok ... now for a group name. Here are some thoughts and be sure to post your ideas too!

Fit for Destiny Team
The Dream Team
Fit and Fabulous Team
High Achievers Team

Ok ... ok. So I know those may be boring and blah! LOL! I'm pulling those out my tail end trying to come up with something! Help me out ya'll.

jessandace

i kinda like the dream team (reminiscent of the 1992 olympics) lol

evajessee

I was stretching to get what I came up with ..... lol! I am hoping someone creative comes up with a super name after getting a good laugh at mine! LOL!

hopeitworks

I like the Dream Team also. After all, isn't it all of our dreams to be thinner and fitter?

papydefo

count me in too

keennash

sound great me too

WantToBeMoreActive

Sounds like the name is sorted...

I suggest we weigh in once a week. It would probably be best if we all had the same weigh-in day, just so we can encourage each other for the upcoming week. That way even if a couple of us aren't able to weigh ourselves on that particular day that week, the majority of the group has the same start day. This would probably make it easier for checking-in too. Some people with hectic lives might only be able to check in on/near weigh-in day and others like me who aren't working right now, would be able to add feedback/recipes more often.....just some thoughts...we can decide as a whole group. :blushing:

Freshandhealthystart

What a good idea. I would be also interested. I go to a slimming world club, but cannot make the classes weekly due to my work shift patterns so this would be great for me.

Hi

I am from the UK and would love to join your group too. I just started last week so I'm sure it will give me some extra motivation to do well

Freshandhealthystart

Yes, I am also from the u.k. It is good to see there are others from here out there.

evajessee

Ok! Well we are off to a good start. So far there are 13 of us in the group. I guess our group name will be called the "DREAM TEAM". I am thinking the weekends might be easier for everyone to try to check in so why don't we set this for Sunday's for now. If that does not work let me know and we can change it to make it easier.

Please make a note that our team updates will be in the community section under the tab called "Motivation and Support". I'll go and start a thread for us there so we can do a roll call and get everyone on board and ready for our first group get together tomorrow!

WantToBeMoreActive

Sounds great!!! Thanks for getting this organized for us evajessee :flowerforyou:

I'm living in the UK too. I'm from Canada but moved here last summer to be with my husband who is from England.

Hope I'm not too late, but I'd love to join this new group as well! It'd be great to have a regular bunch of people to keep up with and so on. I joined a couple of weeks ago but have only been keeping track of my food and exercise for a few days. I've lost 2kg so far (about 4lb).
