The Power of a Group

First post here! Just wanted to say hello to everyone and wish you all the best. I know for myself I am bad with personal responsibility. I will keep things up for a while, but the second my life gets busy or something more fun comes along (holiday parties, anyone?) I will put my health and fitness on the back burner. I think this kind of group accountability is just what I need to stay on track. Can't wait to start!

    Hello, iheartbiology!

    I have that same problem. I am definitely an emotional eater and when life gets a little stressful and overwhelming I forget about giving my body the proper nutrients it needs and head toward that comfort food. I am really determined to stay on track this time around and being held accountable will definitely help. Great job on what you have accomplished so far.

    Hi there all ,
    I am told it takes 6 weeks to create a new habit , and considering i cant go a week without blowing it one way or another ( I know ALL the stuff i should and shouldnt do being fat all my life , ) fingers crossed .
    Hopeless on my own but with you guys giving moral support and kick up the butt if needed I really think I have a good chance this time .
    cheers
