in Motivation and Support
********************************GROUP CLOSED ********************

I've been wanting to create a facebook group with a limited number of women with at least 50 lbs left to lose to go through this journey together. I want to limit the group to 15 people so that we can get to know each other and become invested in each other's success. There will be no time limit on the group. There are only three criteria to join:

1. Be a lady with at least 50 lbs. left to lose.

2. Check in with the group at least 5 times a week (daily is preferable but I understand that may be hard for some).

3. Agree to be kind and encouraging to the other members in the group. Negativity will have no place in this group.

I will make the group private and will invite members once we have our 15. We as a group can decide on whether to have challenges or other activities. If you want to join, just comment that you are in. We'll do introductions once the group has been created. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I have over 50 pounds to still lose and am interested in a group where people are active. Limiting the number of people is such a good idea! This way we can all get to know each other. I'm in! I check online regularly. I am on Medifast, so I don't log my foods, since it is MF foods for the most part. Will that mater?

    No Jangar21. I only eat one meal a day, so a lot of things would be out for me too. If we do challenges it will be something we can all do within our plans.

    Welcome to everyone so far!

    I think it is a great idea. I just have trouble checking in daily. I am in transportation, and my world can go crazy sometimes. That is why I seem to keep losing friends here.

    I like that Tagfit.

    Cpettigrew: As long as you make an effort to check in as much as you can. I'm cool with that.

    I do better with FB on my phone. It is more user friendly than the MFP phone app. I leave state 2-3, sometimes 4 days at a times. My phone is my only form of communication. :glasses:

    Seems like you're close to the golden 15 already but if not - I'd love to join and promise to be active! I have 56 lbs to lose.

    I notice that this group was started in 2011 or 12? So I am way late in seeing this invitation. Are you still accepting people who need to loose over 50 lbs? I definitely do need to loose over that and I sure do need the help and support of a group. I joined the online Weight Watchers and was very disappointed with it. It was a pure waste of money! So anyone considering that, don't! I guess I will wait and find out if this is still a viable group. Thanks!

    Sorry we're full.

    I just started the group today. Not sure why it says it was started in 2011-2012. :ohwell:

    I am looking for support right now as well. I have about 53 pounds to lose (I have lost 43 so far) and am training for the Waves to Wine MS ride. The ride is 175 miles over 2 days and I'm riding it for my little sister who has MS. The ride is in September and I'd like to let go of some of the extra weight so I don't have to drag it up and down hills from SF to Sonoma!
