New and looking for support

I posted this in the motivation forum, but got no response, which doesn't help the issue at hand! So I thought I would repost it here and see if I can find help this way.
I am fairly new to MFP...it has been a great tool and is helping to keep me on track. My problem is that I don't feel like I have a good support group to keep me going. I have lost two pounds so far in the past two weeks, but have so far to go to reach my goal. I know I will not be able to keep up this motivation for long if I don't have people to push me. Please add me as a friend if you can help me...I would love to make new friends that are struggling like me and need the support too. :flowerforyou:

Greetings,
I have tried and failed a great many diets. I feel I have failed due to two major lacking components: Effective goal planning and accountability. Simply saying "I want to lose weight" really does nothing. But setting a benchmark for yourself gives you something to hold on to. Second....accountability. This is simpler than it sounds. I am a private person, so inviting all my friends into my diet plan is not really a winner in my book. Recently, I aquired a gym membership....and through this, I found the missing piece: passive accountability. Simply put...but seeing others work hard to be fit, I am motivated to be fit...to push harder on the weights....to run longer on the treadmill....to WIN!
These are my thoughts. What are yours?0 -
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. I look forward to getting to know, and help, all of you!0
