in Motivation and Support
Any members out there in central Indiana that can help me? I joined MFP earlier this year and was doing fairly well, but then started slipping. My accountability partners have left me hanging, and I am the type that NEEDS that accountablility. Would luv to find some MFP friends in the area for support and motivation! Perhaps go for a hike, or participate in a 5K walk/run? Any help greatly appreciated. Please add me, if you are up to the task! Thanks.

    :bigsmile: Just sent you a friend request. I'm also part of a local group that focuses on just getting off the couch and getting active if you'd like to join. www.teamninja.org

    Right now, I'm doing the Jingle Bell 5k in Indy next weekend (12/8), the Santa Hustle Half Marathon (12/16) and possibly the Lifetime Fitness Commitment Day 5k Jan. 1 if you're interested in joining. :bigsmile:

    you are just gonna have to accept eventually that you have to do this alone. We're all in it alone. There may be people running nearby or along side us, but only we are in our head and our body.

    We're 100% completely and utterly all by ourselves.

    good luck!

    This was posted a long time ago I realize. I feel this is entirely false though. Just having someone supportive or even trying to lose weight with you makes you not alone. It totally helps to have those people that hold you accountable. Heck me and my mom are both losing weight, and without her I don't know if I would have lost the weight I have. So you may control your decisions, but I don't think that makes you alone in trying to lose weight. I think it's harder to lose weight if you don't have that person to push you. Especially if you have no will power like myself. I think a lot of times.. "I can totally eat this my mom will never know" but then I feel guilty so I don't. She may not have been there in that present moment, but she was still there in my mind.
