Team Spirit

Going Beyond Brunch
Studies show that people who embark upon a weight-loss mission together are more likely to achieve their goals. The mutual support and encouragement you offer each other can help you avoid some of the possible pitfalls we all encounter when we’re trying to lose weight. Let’s face it: You know you’re less likely to eat something you probably shouldn’t if you have to tell your friends what you had for lunch. Check out these great group ideas for more weight-loss inspiration.

Hello to all,
I'm a 47 year-old mother single mother of a soon to be 5 year-old boy. I don't have much weight to lose - 5lbs, but I need lots, lots and lots of motivation to help me stay on track. I love to workout, but I sometimes fall of the wagon for months at a time and I'm a junk food addict and I make way to many bad food and beverage choices. I also like drinking lite beers two to three times a week. I'm looking for a buddy or buddies who want to make gradual changes and is ready to start now. We must 100% support each other through good and bad times. My goals are to make healthier food choice, cut back on the beer to maybe once a week or none and workout at least four days a week, which will include cardio, strength and yoga or piliates.

Just found this site . . . it looks good. I too am looking for some buddies. I'll be 55 this year, don't want to get skinny again, just lose a few pounds and be healthy and get in a routine of some daily exercise.
