Weight Loss Support

Having a weight loss support system is important. Unfortunately we do not always get it from the sources we want it from, we have difficulty finding it, and maintaining the quality of the support are all challenges.Today I was reminded of many challenges I have encountered with respect to support.  When I first started my weight loss journey, I had people tell me I had to loose X number of pounds, I was fine the way I was, or they did not care either way. Well, the first group of people were nuts. I was not about to turn my world upside down, become a gym rat and eat like rabbit forever to please them. The second group, they were and still are, overweight themselves. The third group, well, I do not talk about my weight loss goals with them.  Ugh! I want to loose weight but feeling alone in the journey was so overwhelming. Starting the journey seemed impossible. How to start the weight loss journey and not feel all alone in an uphill battle?

Connecting OnLine

I am looking for people who use the LoseIt app and FitBit. The former being more important than the latter. Last night I explored the LoseIt Forum and was surprised to find a number of people sharing their blogs. So I've clicked to follow them and have 'Google Connected' with them as well. I'm hoping to get  to know these people virtually through their blogs. Would like to know I'm not the only one on this weight loss journey who is struggling, super busy, but still not willing to give up on loosing weight.
