Hi Everyone!
I have 4 friends who all joined the site with me to lose weight. At the beginning it was all great! Everyone was on board and gung ho. We were all keeping each other accountable, working out together, talking about what we were eating, asking for suggestions etc. Unfortunately this trend has not lasted. Between the 5 of us I have lost about 5 times more weight than any one of them. We were varied in the beginning on how much we wanted to lose- but because my progress has been so drastically different I think they are all discouraged. I keep trying to be helpful and keep up with the plan together but they all seem to have totally lost interest. I do want to point out that I am the only single one without any kids and working out or getting exercise 1-3 times a day is WAY easier for me. I don't know how to be helpful to them and for this to work for us all - because honestly I couldn't have lost the 25 without them! I would love suggestions!
