Dropping pounds with inspiring pals *CLOSED GROUP*

Hey everyone! So we have some old members and new members in the mix today, and a few changes. I'm sure these first few pages will go by fast due to everyone getting to know each other, but rest assure we'll all find a groove and a more manageable pace over the next few weeks. Feel free to add each other!

So here is the deal:

Weekly Weigh-Ins: (mandatory) - Every week you need to weigh in and post your new weight between Friday and Monday (Monday before noon please). I'm going to keep track of the groups progress, and will post our results Monday night or Tuesday. Lets all reach our goals together! :flowerforyou:

Daily Check-ins: (optional but recommend)- Check in everyday. Did you stay under calories? Drink at least 8 cups of water? Get in some exercise? Have something good happen today? Let us know your doing well, and also let us know if your struggling. We are here to help each other. Got a craving, post, whine, vent, do what you need to do to move forward.

Weekly Challenges: (optional) - We will have weekly challenges. These can be physical challenges, mental challenges, emotional challenges... I will post the weekly challenge every Monday morning.

Have an idea for a weekly challenge? Send me a message (because I know I won't be able to come up with something alone every week!)

Monday (NSV - Non-Scale-Victory) Day: (optional) - The scale is a great way to track your progress, but its the small victories we have that keep us going! We all need to focus on the positive aspects getting healthy brings! Did you fit in a smaller size? Maybe you ran a whole minute, when you couldn't even run at all before? These are all positive changes. :bigsmile:

Wednesday Recipe Day: (optional) - Have a recipe you love that's low calorie and filling? Found a awesome food or snack at the grocery store, let us all know about it! Of course your welcome to share your food for though at any time, this is just extra incentive to share.

Friday Fitness Day: (optional) - What are you doing to work out and burn calories? Maybe sharing your work out plan will help motivate others to step it up or even get started! Sharing is caring! (LOL!)

:indifferent: On a side note. Being part of a support group and losing weight calls for commitment. We all understand that not everyone can hop on the computer everyday. We do need each member to check in AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK Even if its just a quick, "Hey, I'm alive, doing good, seeya!" . If you are unable to check in for a while, let us know why before you disappear. Life getting a bit hectic? Need a breather? Going on Vacation? We can only support you if you are here.

This is not to discourage anyone, but members who disappear for long periods of time may find themselves not a member anymore. This is why its important to let us know whats going on before you disappear! If you see that someone has not posted in a while, check on them! Maybe they are struggling and too afraid to ask for help. But there is only so much we can do, we can't force people to be involved. And remember, receiving support is just as important as giving it.

This is a closed group. This will help keep the group from becoming to overwhelming. Do not feel that you have to respond to every post! If you have time, and can, then GREAT! But this group is to help motivate, not meant to take over your life, or make you feel discouraged if you can't keep up with every single post.

Now lets get this party started!
