Hi guys! Does anybody have any tips on groups or finding people to help give/receive support? I tend to need encouragement from others and find that I enjoy offering support, too so I'd love to know what you guys think is the best way to get the most out of the forums for support.

Hi delosmuertos44! Oh, there are lots of ways you could go! Depending on your age or weight, you could post in one of the age-related or weight-related chat threads under Support Groups. They are pretty active. If you like challenges, the challenge threads are quite active under "Chicks Up for a Challenge" in Support Groups, and they are a great way to stay motivated and accountable. (The new January challenges are just starting up.) If you are on a certain type of diet, like Atkins or Calorie Counters, there are threads under the Diet Central section that might interest you. And so on! You might want to take note of when the last post was made and how many posts have been made to a thread to determine how active it is. And new members are always welcome to join the threads! It's a very nice and supportive community! Good luck!

Hi delosmuertos44! I'm looking for support too! I need someone who I can count on to tell them my weight loss when I weigh in. I need encouragement too. Which diet are you on? I'm on the IP.

Welcome delosmuertos44 just ask for support and it will come! Remember to never give up on yourself. I've come and gone and I'm back again to this website because I really love the support that I find here. Welcome!

Welcome! I agree with 3LMCM, just ask. I look at all new threads each time I login, plus any threads I'm subscribed to. But don't hesitate to start your own thread if you aren't seeing what you need. One thing I love, Love, LOVE about this forum is how positive it is normally. People really want to help out, exchange ideas, and be friendly.
