So I am on day 10 an have a couple of friends who are great, but I am noticing that I really need some more motivation support? I think that is where I have failed in my past attempts and sadly, I do not have a lot of *rl* friends. How do I go about getting some Motivation buddies?

    This is how. :-) You just ask. It's always a big first step. Congratulations for making it - you should be proud!

    You can go right ahead and add me, if you like. I try to support my friends daily! I also have a few that I message with daily to help support throughout the day.
  • everyone on here seems to be very supportive so far! I just signed up last month. Feel free to friend me. Sadly, a lot of times our real life friends tell us we are fine, don't need to lose weight, etc. or always offer us yummy foods. No one does that here! lol

    I'm the same way myself. I need support and encouragement, too. I also need to feel accountable to others. I find a great deal of support from my facebook "friends", most of which I have never met. I have my weigh-ins, and daily food logs set to post to facebook and get alot of support and suggestions there. A few of them are people I knew years ago, but most are from games I play. It doesn't matter where the support comes from, a well placed "good for you!" goes a long way. Also do a search to look for members here that may live in your community. I did that and got myself a walking buddy who lives in the same town. When warmer weather comes...but for now we just support each other through the posts here.
