good morning! I'm trying to find a support group to keep me accountable. I know it really has helped me to lose weight. I just don't have time to go to one. Weight watchers worked for me and then I had the lapband done in 2006 and went to their support group. I lost 65 lbs but have gained it all back. A quick run down - 2009 I got divorced and moved 1000 miles away from my kids and grandkids. We lived near my ex's family so I moved home with my 80 year old mom. That same year a brother died of drug overdose. 2010 I remarried and we bought a house. 2011 another brother died in a car accident, 2013 my mom died, I quit my job and went back to school. I have basically given up on my lapband and feel it's time to quit making excuses and lose this weight for myself. We just bought a house on a lake and I hope to be healthy and active on it. I graduate in 2 weeks so I'm in the job hunt again. I've got 4 good friends and family members who have all just lost 20-30 lbs. they inspire me and each have done things their own way but all have one common thread which is watch sugars and carbs. This is day 2, I can do this, I'm ready and hope to find a forum to get support from. ❤️

Hello Steph, How are you doing? I have read your post and first of i am sorry for your lost and may they rest in peace. I have also lost family members and been through some rough patches in my life. I also want to wish you good luck in your classes and on the job hunting.
There is people here that are very supportive and are willing to help with accountability. Hopefully you can find the right forum or group on MFP that you interested in. I do however welcome your friend request and we can both be supportive for each other. I am active on MFP app and log in daily
Have a wonderful day!
