in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone,

Ok, So, I know this may sound crazy..... But, I really need some serious support. I live in a very small town, and I don't know anyone my age here. I am trying to get on track, and lose weight, to get healthier..... However, I don't really have any a workout buddy, or a "weight loss support system"....

Unfortunately, all the friends that I am close to in reality, don't really worry about working out on a daily basis, and watching wht they eat.

I really believe just doing this all on my own, is really putting me back. I was wondering if there was anyone Canada or the States... (or anyone in spproximately similar time zones).... who is looking for the same thing?

I have a blackberry.. It would be easy to just exchange pins, not phone numbers, and motivate each other. =)

    friends and support are great, but it has to come from within. you either want this or you don't. if you want it, you'll find a way. if you don't you'll find an excuse. with or without a support network.

    I have one for work. I keep looking at it and wondering why it won't do what I want it to. I'm spoiled by my IPhone. I can never go back.

    OP, I'll be your MFP friend if you'd like. I'll motivate you to get a real phone, I mean keep working out. I'm just being silly. I would love to be your friend and support you! :flowerforyou:

    LOL....OK GUYS.. ENOUGH WITH THE PHONE TALK....

    1. TONS of people in Canada have a BB, almost everyone i know...
    2. I chose to get a BB, because it's a lot more popular in other parts of the world, like Asia and the Middle east... and i can easily keep in touch with my friends/family from there through my bb.

    3. I like a real keypad. lol.

    Maybe one day I'll convert to a "Real" phone

    Thanks for all your help... =)

    The first several months of my weight loss journey I did on my own. I didn't have anyone holding my hand or saying kind things to me. Until I came across MFP. If you are sincere about losing weight you will find it with in yourself to achieve your goals!

    Hey!

    we are already mfp friends, and i don't have a black berry, but i just wanted to add that, not having a good support system at home makes it really hard! i know where your coming from.

    When you want to eat healthy, and the family suggests going out for italian every time we get together for dinner or whatever. Cake at every get together, and they look at you like you've got 2 heads when you say no thanks. or call you crazy when you say you can't meet them at the mall b/c your working out, or whatever.

    You can do this! for you! despite your lack of support at home!

    To be fair, RIM has the best security for emails and whatnot. They focused on making a business tool not a toy. The problem is that our iPhone and Android "toys" have more functionality.

    Also, I hated my Storm...

    I don't think it's wack, I think reaching out for support is dope, it might even be def...

    Well maybe not def.

    Used to, I'm a Blackberry Enterprise Administrator/Exchange Administrator at work and the security levels on the activesync used by exchange has reached the same grade as Blackberry BES. Now with apps that allow you to lock the phones remotely for Apple and Android the game has changed quite a bit. The only thing the BES has over the rest is logging text messages now. Everything else has been met or surpassed. I have to carry a blackberry for work and I have an iphone for personal. BES has it's uses but as security and enterprise support keeps getting turned up on the iphone and android phones it's becoming a lot smaller and smaller.

    OP we are friends now, I'll try to make sure to give you an extra couple kicks in the butt!

    I live in a small rural town of 1000 people and I literally have no friends, just some people I work with. Everyone else is older it seems, and I'm not into the bar scene. It does make it REALLY hard sometimes!

    Well, RIM did...not so sure that's true anymore. Security is more about behavior than hardware or software anyway. The most effective cracks are social engineering hacks, and RIM's never been any better at preventing those than any other OS.

    Nothing wrong with a blackberry. I have a torch, and its not that I can't use an Iphone or Droid.. or that I dislike them.. I just prefer my BB. I like the option of either using the real keyboard, or the touchscreen keyboard, and RIM makes an operating system that I find user friendly..

    I know that's off topic.. but I hate to see people bash BB.

    I know we are still off subject here but since I have seen a few posts about loving the ability to use touch screen or keyboard on BB some android phones have that option too!:wink:

    Okay carry on....

    I don't have a blackberry...or any 'hip' phone unfortunately.

    However, I am here on MFP to be as supportive as possible. I know you can and WILL do this. :)
