Hey TR. I too need accountability and always find it easier when you have someone checking in/up on you. Money always seems to motivate people the best but learning to live by your word only should be a bigger motivation.

I think we should ensure we install the FP app on our phones and check in via the app. Technology may energize someone to stay on track. I personally would prefer a text to motivate me because I check my texts more often than I'll click on an app. I think nowadays everyone has an iPhone and can make a group text and name it. If that's something others think will help let's shout out about it. Just a suggestion.

There are now several administrator to this group in case 1 person is out of pocket, someone else can be the motivator.

Hey Ladies! I've used this app on several attempts at staying on track and keeping up with what works and have always fell short. I've reached my goal on time and didn't stick with it because I didn't lose it the right way. I basically cleansed through it all as opposed to cleansing for the first couple of days. Anyhow, I'm back at it now, set a more realistic goal and excited to see what comes of it. Never had a group that I was actually active in within FP so this should be fun! I'm down with group chat

Hi Trhines, I also count calories and even add what I probably should not be eating. I work out twice a day 6days a week. I do cardio in the afternoon or morning when not at work and circuit training during the evening. I walk a good portion of my days everyday.

I just started with weights today. Was a intimidated by the men in the weights section. However, I know I have to get over that.

I just realized for the first time today that I should try to burn twice as many calories as I eat. Right?

Hey! Welcome back, slow and steady wins the race. I have two daughters, full-time job and in Grad school so I feel your pain. As long as you don't give up you got this.

How's everyone doing?

you should be able to update your setting on the mobile app so you can get notifications. or if you're logging onto the group you'll notice the group was updated by the word "new".

I've been trying to keep up with my tracking also. Im good during the work week. Weekends I may not do it the same day but I do remember what I ate so I can back and enter everything. I try to watch the amount of sugary food intake. If i feel I ate too much of something I'll run to log it in to see where I am.

It can be hard. I find I eat much better at work or when I have pre-prepped all food for the week. Using snack zip lock bags are the best. great for portion sizing. Sandwich ziplock bags are great for prepping green smoothies and makes it easy for grabbing to take with you for the rest of the day.
