Tough L-O-V-E

Options
Hi! My name is Emily, and I am carrying over a group of a few people from another website that shall not be mentioned. No hard feelings, but we all figured why pay for what we can get for free over here? We've been together for a few years now and have "seen" each other through a lot: births, breakups, success, failure. We're interested in continuing that group dynamic, but have discussed that a little new blood might not hurt to get us reinspired. We've been stalled for quite some time now, checking in every now and then because we've come to regard each other as close friends, not necessarily because we're exactly motivated toward perfection in our health and fitness goals. :)

I haven't poked around much within this site's community, so I hope this is the proper forum for me to post this introduction. There doesn't seem to be a "groups" function, so I figured I'd spill it all here for you all to see.

Have a great day and happy healthifying!

Emily

    First Question:

    How do you designate a place for you to "chat" regularly with the same people? There is not a section for groups, do you just start a thread in the Motivation and Support Section and continue to post there? Is there a way to mark "favorite" threads so that you can get back to them easily?

    Thanks for any help!

    You can "chat" by posting on your home page, which only your friends can see... or yes, you can create a thread specifically for your friends in the "chit chat fun and games" section, although anyone can post there and read it.

    Hi,

    I am new here from that other paid weight loss tracking site too. I was so disappointed that they refuse to create apps for multiple devices even while charging for the site acess. I am getting used to this site quickly. I love the app for my android phone. I love the progress ticker and the people in the community are so nice and welcoming.

    good luck on this site.

    welcome! I too used "another" site and was paying - could not believe that i found the same thing and possibly better for FREE!
    You will find some very supportive and motivating folks on here. Many have been a huge help for me.

    good luck!
