Hi All.

Well, the title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for some cohorts for mutual encouragement to get back on track now instead of waiting until January. I did NOT do well with Thanksgiving. I have a long history of weight struggles, and am still down ~35 pounds from my max weight, but it has crept up in the last 6 months, and I am having a hard time getting back on track. I know that motivation needs to primarily come from within, but I do find that suppport from others is helpful. I haven't been logging lately, but am getting back with it now.

Anyone interested?

    Dear Howard,
    After a 69lb weight loss over a year ago, I fell off the wagon after Thanksgiving of 2013. Since that time I have gained back about 42 lbs. When I was doing well I had been logging all of my food in my diary and keeping close activity records. I am involved and the current leader of a TOPS (Take Off Pound Sensibly) group. It is like weight watchers but tends to focus more on the social aspect than hard core weight loss group. I would like to get back on track and bring the other members of the group with me. Our last meeting was last night and I have recommitted to losing weight and improving my overall health.

    I am interested in some mutual support, but must admit that since being involved with fitpal I have had minimal involvement with other members. That said, I admit I am unsure how this is to all work exactly but willing to try and figure it out.

    George
