Diets & Weight Maintenance Support Group
Chat about how well your latest diet is -- or is not -- working. This group is a great place to find support and accountability as well as share success stories and valuable lessons with the community. From where to start to weekly weigh-ins, get help from others to reach your dieting and weight maintenance goals.
Hi
I just joined the group tonight. I've tried many different ways to lose weight with varying levels of success, but it's harder now that I've hit menopause. And work has made it difficult to get back into a routine of working out. I'm hoping being part of the group will help with accountability and having others to support and challenge me.
Speaking of challenge, are there challenges in this group? I see there is a weigh-in post -- do we just go to the one for that particular week and put our weight in on the day we usually weigh in?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the group. I'm fairly new too but everyone is really supportive and lovely on here.
I find the weekly weigh-in really helpful. I weigh in once a week, same day, same time, same scales, similar clothes. Yes you just go to the one for the current week and enter your weight on the day you weigh-in. If you don't want to tell everyone your weight you can just say how much you are up or down by.
Well done for getting started :-)

Welcome aboard! Yes, weight loss can be a bit difficult because of menopause & a busy schedule, but it IS POSSIBLE. There are many success stories similar to yours - you can be one of those success stories. There is HOPE.
Best wishes as you work on your goals. "

By all means yes, join in the weekly weigh in post. Pick your day to weigh yourself and record the results there. Like NewToThisx said, you can report weight gain/loss or your actual weight. I tried to do a relative weight goal, but that did not work for me. I finally started getting results when I posted my real weight.
But what ever works for you is the way to do it!
