Hey guys, I really need some friends who are serious about eating healthly and losing some weight. I currently live with my family who are not very supportive and often the only things to eat are very unhealthy options. I just need a little support and encouragement to stay on track. If you need that too, let's be friends!

    All I can say is that you can do it! I started my journey on January 7, 2011. I was the only one in my family who took it seriously, so here I was, eating healthy and trying not to cheat, but everyone else was eating bad stuff. My daughter climbed on board with me, but has been on again, off again. Currently, she is on board and I hope she stays. My husband finally decided to hop on board in June and it has been great having him as a supportive partner. I was at a stand still for awhile, but he has motivated me. I never asked him to join me because I knew that would turn him away. He made the decision on his own and has done wonderfully. If you stick with it and your family starts to see you become successful, maybe they will join you. If not, don't let that discourage you! You do this for you! :happy: :happy:

    You are going to have an unbelievable amount of support here. I have only been on here a week and have already made so many wonderful friends who support me in my fitness and nutrition journey then anyone other than my husband. Most of my family laughs at me when I mention my diet or working out. So on here, they are my "fitness family" and are extremely supportive!

    You can do it!
