Hey all! So, here I am on this weight loss journey (actually, I think it is more of a get healthier journey) and sometimes I find my introverted self needing some support, especially when I eat as much whale

If you are using the app and use phone emojis it kills everything after the offending character. Use forum emojis instead, the little smile drop-down. or type in a colon and a letter to see all the available emojis available.

I'm an occasionally-extroverted introvert myself.
It's easier in forums for me to express. Support is super crucial IME.

I'm an introvert & totally agree. I don't like having overbearing support, but having someone consistently there to let me know that I'm doing great or a word of encouragement is always nice--especially on the tougher days.

You can add me! I'm supportive and my inbox is always open if you're up for a chat.

Not sure why it cut off some of my post??? Ugh! Any way, I know that there are more of you out there like me, right!?!? The type that needs support sometimes, but not all the time??? The type that is ok doing their own thing most of the time, but in moments of introversion need to reach out??? Or maybe it's just me

Me too. And sometimes that makes it harder to reach out when you need to, because it's a bit out of our comfort zone.
What are you needing support with at the moment?

Also, these boards can be a bit cut throat at times, but there are a lot of good people with a lot of good information out there, who try and give sensible responses.

The best way to get a good answer to any question is...
- Be really specific in your question.
- Give your stats in your question (age, height, current weight, goal weight, weight loss goal per week, maybe your starting weight)
- If you're asking about a plateau in your weight, always specify how long it's been, and consider not posting if it's less than a month
- Make your diary public, particularly if you're asking food or calorie questions. It's unlikely people will go looking at it for fun, but if you ask questions then the people who have the best answers will usually need to go and have a look at how you've been logging, what you've been eating etc to provide you with useful feedback.
- If you're looking for exercise questions, detail what you're already doing, how long you've been doing it, and things like that.

Honestly, I think that introverts' ability to get on with things alone is an asset for things like weight loss and fitness. For example, I only see my personal trainer once every 4-6 weeks, which is WAY cheaper than every session!

I see your challenge of uniting just introverts, and raise you the challenge of uniting INTJs like myself....

Bwahahahah good luck with that!
