Eat More Weigh Less - Support group 2013

Hi all,

There are no almost 1000 members on this EM2WL board which just shows how sensible people are becoming about how to approach a healthy weight loss. There is a wealth of information and expertise on this board, and I like many others, have spent hours reading and taking on board knowledge to help me on my own personal journey.

A spin off group was set up in January 2013 called EM2WL - Support Group 2013 with the idea of having a more informal discussion where people can share their goals, difficulties and successes. Of course this happens on the main board too, but with almost 1000 members its a bit more difficult to get to know people and have open discussions.

Our Support group has 124 members and is open to anyone who wants to join us.

There are lots of members who post regularly and we try and spur each other on each week and look at different topics to discuss.

I'm still learning and very much at the beginning of my more healthy journey and regularly use the boards and groups to learn more. The support group has introduced me to people who have/had the same goals and challenges and its great to see people's progress.

If you want to join us, just bounce a reply here and we'll pick you up and welcome you into the fold!!

Good luck with your goals, whatever they are.

:flowerforyou:

Kay

    OK, I need some words of wisdom...I am three full weeks in to a complete reset and for the first time,starting to freak out.
    My pants are uncomfortably tight and I am retaining a ton of water in my legs and middle. Is this normal? Any suggestions how to deal with the water retention? How long does it generally last?

    Can't help I'm afraid,but I can totally relate, you're not alone! I'm on week 4 and still hold on to the 7 lbs I've gained so far. Plus bloated and clothes don't fit :-( Wish it goes away at some point...
