edited February 12 in Motivation and Support
So I have barley started working out and barley joined my fitness buddy. I have been going on strong so far but it is hard to stay on track when u have nobody to back you up. So I thought there hast to be more people thinking the same way so I wanna start a friendly group that will motivate each other on and have someone to talk to when things aren't going to good (: . No judgement. No shame. Just a group of friends willing to go through the hard process of weight loss with other friends (: . Leave a reply to this if u wanna join. We can add each other on this and if you guys want we can start a Facebook group so that way it will be easier to communicate with everybody at once (:

    I'm in. It's important to have friendly support, or just support in general. Having others to help motivate you is important. Feel free to add me :)

    Ill join! I'm sick of people not supporting me and tell me I don't need to loose the weight. I'm overweight therefore I do need to shift it!
  • Great to have all you guys in the new group I'm forming (:. Remember there is no judging only positive stuff here (: . We have have hard times but even if it's as little as this (or big in some cases) doesn't mean u should have to go through it alone.

    I would like to join. I need friends that are honestly supporting and not just seeing how many friends they can get.
  • Don't worry about that with me or the group. I don't really like to have an attention contest or like to be the center of attention so no worries (:

    I'd like to be added. I'm new here, very overweight and realizing I could use a little support. I'm pretty driven so far, this time, but have a history of getting frustrated and resorting back to my old ways. I would love to meet some people online who may be able to keep pushing me to stay on track.

    I'm totally in! I've been on mfp for a while, but was never really that active. I always let others things in life take a lead role in my life instead of my health. I too just started seriously exercising again last week. I could use all the support I can get and I love hearing other people's stories!
  • I'd love to join please! I've tried to lose weight on myfitnesspal before and its never really worked, so I'd really like to give it a proper go this time by joining a group like this! :) x
  • I love suportive people and dont like diet know it alls. Add me and we can all start this healthy lifestyle positively.
