    Just finished my first steps, hoping to continue this path. I wish someone in my inner circle could do it with me and give me support. But maybe this group is just the support I need.

    Good luck! You CAN do this.

    Don't get discouraged and don't expect perfection. Be kind to yourself and remember your "why(s)."

    Are you looking for in-person support? (It sounds like it to me.)

    I've been doing great with exercise but just can't stick to an eating plan. My surrounded by junk food junkies at work and at home. I need to keep up my resistance to what they keep putting in front of me. It's always chips, cookies and chocolate. I need some good ideas to try to stay away from it all.

    Now that the newsfeed has gone, our circle of support has diminished. Are any of you in other My Fitness Pal groups that you find helpful?

    I'm in Fat2Fit (I shared the link before). It's organised by individual members of MFP and the main group is split into different groups (in discussions) and people are supportive and helpful. There's a weekly challenge discussion and you can weigh-weekly to keep track.

    I was in another group, I think it was called Tiny Habits, but I want very good at sticking to it.

    What other groups have you found?

    It's hard, we're going to miss it.

    I've spent time going through the groups and it seems there are some good ones. Fat2Fit, as I mentioned before and Hogwarts weight loss group. I looked at how many members were in the groups to get an indication of their dedication. I've also seen a few names from my newsfeed in the groups.

    I hope you find your tribe and maybe a couple of new ones @Dia_R

    I don’t know where to find my tribe, without the newsfeed. Is anybody even out there now? I feel like I’m taking out a billboard here, but I wanted to share that I’m still making progress. r1p7jox24mne.png

    I feel the same way! I left MFP, and I re-joined, and now the news feed is gone!? I loved that thing! But also, I need to find friends here again!

    Hmmm goal. Go big or home is the temptation.. :D
    Aiming to get my A1c below is the main goal for this year. I'm closer now at 6.2, better than the 7.1 before.
    Next goal is to 50k next month. Lord help me. :#:D

    Last year I bit the bullet and cleared the pantry of prepacked foods. The weight literally came off with just that change. I was amazed how simple changes occurred with my body. I still have a way to go and need now to review further my caloric intake and macros. But I'm absolutely sold there is no good that comes from prepackaged foods.

    I have lost 41 pounds from my highest weight. I started exercising 30 minutes a day. Sometimes it would be 45-60 minutes once I got in the groove! Exercise is starting to be fun, surprisingly.
