Looking for support :)

Hi! I KNOW that I need support from friends to help me lose weight. I am VERY busy in my life, but because of that it is difficult to find people who can help keep me accountable. I began teaching full time this year and gained a whopping 20 pounds since August. I thought I was overweight THEN!~!! :(

I would like suggestions on staying motivated...what to do to keep from being depressed and accountability. I am hoping this site will help with that. Im pushing 40 and I would like to get into shape BEFORE that. I just joined a Wellness Center and will be trying to motivate myself to lose weight thru exercise and dieting. Thank you for being available to me!

Hi Av8rwife!

For accountability, I find the "Exercise Accountability" thread in the "Exercise" forum to be really great...and sometimes just STATING your goals can have an amazing effect on your actual motivation.
Keep posting - can't wait to get to know you better!
