The last two groups that I joined disappeared without any warning or notice. I need the motivation of a group challenge to keep me going. I am two steps away from calling it quits. This may sound extremely selfish but I need you all to get me through this.

    I have been here for over a year. I am down 30 pounds since I started. 40 pounds overall. I want to lose about 20 more but my doctor would rather I lose 35 more. But lately my motivation has been gone. I don't know how to get it back. I figured a group challenge would help me get back in the swing of things.

    Hey Nikki - like you I have gotten so discouraged by joining groups that start up hot and heavy and then after about 2 weeks even the person that started the group never checks in or post anything and no one responds to your post so you feel like you are just talking to yourself.

    I want to be in a group that WANTS to work together as a group to support and encourage each other. I will be 49 years old next month, have another 25 pounds to lose and I know that I can do it having some friends along for the journey. Having to lose weight sucks, why not try and have a little fun doing it!!

    Hi all- just getting remotivated and could use all the support I can get! My doc just told me I have 90 days to get my cholesterol down or I need meds. That has me freaked out enough that I came home last night and threw out all the junk from the closet that tempts me.Now that my daughter went back to college this past weekend and we are back to the empty nest , hubbie and I can't use the ,"I bought it for the kids !" excuse anymore.

    I just loaded a countdown app on my phone set to 90 days and figure seeing the number of days I have left will help me stay focused . I did my best when I was connected to an online group a few years ago and would love to have a committed group to keep me honest.

    I'm in too - I just realized it's August already and I haven't lost any weight this whole summer. I need to get busy!!! I'd like to lose around 15 lbs but stress always gets in the way of a good plan. So I need support from my MFP friends :smile:

    Challenge groups are here for individuals to obtain support, accountability and motivation from fellow challengers as well as the individual who started the group. We discuss struggles, victories and do not critique or criticize one another only positive feedback and motivation. If you have anymore questions feel free to send me a message. Challenge groups have been proven effective for individuals reaching their fitness and health goals. Personally if it wasn't for the challenge group i participated in a few months ago I never would of made it through completing the insanity program. When I didn't feel I could go on, the positive motivation I received enabled me to reach my goals. I'm happy to have you on board.:smile:
