need support
 

hi guys
read somewhere that online groups can be a real help to people
wanting to lose weight--i've personally lost the same 30# twice in the
last two years all on my own---unfortunately i'm back to square one
and having a hard time getting motivated to take another shot at it in
spite of health problems and an unhappy camper for a doctor. does
online support really make a difference?

Welcome to the group, Ann. I think you'll find several of the members who
agree that online support has been a great part of their losing and
maintaining a weight loss. Your past history indicates you have tackled the
weight loss portion but like many have a problem maintaining the loss.

Did you follow a particular weight loss program? What type of exercise?
I've found that exercise is an important part of my weight loss program.

You'll find lots of information and support in the group. I hope to see you
posting often.

I think it does -- it gives you a chance to talk to others who're
dealing with many of the same issues, learn new techinques for real
weight loss, share your successes and setbacks, etc. Please tell us
more about yourself.

BTW, you might want to read the FAQ for this group:

It's what you make of it really. It has made a world of difference for me
because I've found some excellent resources and people who have been where I
am/was. I've also established some great online friendships that I value
and look forward to bringing into the real world soon :)

Stick around a while, lurk, read, get a feel for it. See if it will work
for you.

I've found it really instrumental in my weight loss. I'm a
56-year-old woman, and I've lost just over 120 lbs. in about two
years, and am now where I want to be. I'm still here, though, because
I know keeping it off is a lifetime activity. I think you can find
this group very helpful.

For the group to work best, you should talk with us about how you've
lost weight in the past, what you think made you put it back on, how
you're planning to approach it this time, etc. But if you aren't
ready to share details yet, you can learn just by reading what others
say.
