edited February 24 in Motivation and Support
I have been a member of a challenge/ support group for awhile now. Unfortunately, we have lost quite a few members due to life circumstances. We are currently looking to add new members to motivate and re-energize our group.

A little bit about the group:

We have weekly weigh ins and weekly challenges.
We chat a lot throughout the week about weight loss things and life in general.
The group is called H.E.L.D. Together because it revolves around 4 categories necessary for weight loss: Hydration, Exercise, Lifestyle, and Diet.
The group is private which encourages openness and honesty.


Who we are looking for:

Women only
Needing to lose at least 25 pounds
Between the ages of 25-50 (most of us are working mothers)
Preferably in North America, so we are in similar time zones and use similar units of measurement
We are looking to add 10-12 new members


If you are interested or would like to know more about the group, please send me a PM. I will say upfront that we are going to be selective in finding members that we think will mesh well with the couple of people we still have left from our old group. If your profile is not open and public, please tell me something about yourself. I will send an invite to new members and I will post here when the group is closed.

Good luck to everyone in their weight loss journey

    Hi, I'm 29 and have almost 100 pounds to lose. I'm not in North America, at least not for another six months, but I would love a support group. I feel like I don't really have anyone who can sympathize/empathize with my weight loss journey in my real life, and I'm too self-conscious to talk about it to my normal sized friends. The idea of making this large of change without any support is daunting, and I would love to find some people who are going through something similar.

    Our group is filling up nicely. I have about two or three more openings for motivated ladies- or those in need of some motivation :wink:

    Excited to be part of it.
    Thanks,

    Oops, I am not in North America. I guess that disqualifies me. :sad:

    I am 29 and would like to lost another 30+ lbs! And I would love an active challenge group. Another one I'm involved in has pretty much disappeared.

    Hello, I am in my 30's, and have 100 + pounds to lose. I log on everyday and keep a fairly accurate food and exercise diary. I have been on MFP for 3 weeks now. I am motivated and would love to join your group.

    Thank you all for your interest. As of this point, our group is closed. However, I will be keeping a waiting list in case some of the people we added decide not to stay. So, if you are interested in being put on a waiting list, please PM me.

    Best of luck to everyone!
