edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
I've tried to lose weight for a long time, but never have really had the support group of people that know what I'm struggling with. Sure, family and friends can say good job when you post a loss, but if they aren't fighting the same battles, it doesn't help motivate me as much. Glad a friend of mine recommended I sign up here.

    Feel free to friend if you wish. Sometimes I need all the help I can get just to get out and walk.

    Yep, its nice to know others are doing exactly what your doing and going through some of the samethings. Help or a pat on back is just a click away. :smile:

    When I started dieting this last time, starting in September, I didn'tknow how long I would stick with it. Without this site, I think I would have been long done. I check here everyday for motivation and support knowing that someone has or is going thru the same things I go thru. Good luck to you! :smile:

    Congratulations on finding this place i know i am too. I joined a week ago and have already lost 3 lbs. This is a great place to help your goals, to meet friends and encourage each other! Feel free to add me I am on here daily and I too am just starting my weight loss goal, I came here because I am doing this alone and it is hard! :flowerforyou:
