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. :smile: 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!
