Am I in the right place?

Hi everyone.  I'm looking for an active weight loss support group and this is the only active group I've found.  I need to lose 73 pounds.  Am I in the right place?  Or is this group only for those who have reached their goal and are trying to maintain it?  If I'm in the wrong place, do you know of an active group.  My search only brought up inactive groups.  Much thanks.

I never use this group because most people on here seem to be on weird diets or obsessive, like maybe have eating disorders/ weigh theirself obsessively.
Do you have Facebook? There are groups on there. Also I would recommend YouTube if you have enough data to watch it. There are many dieticians and fitness coaches on there with helpful information.
Are you working with a personal trainer or a nutrition coach to help you reach your goals?
I am working with a nutrition coach on a meal plan and it is very helpful. I used to eat alot more because I had a hard physical job and went to the gym. Now I have a desk job and work out at home and gained weight. I'm having to re learn how much to eat. Meal prepping really helps me stay on track.
I hope you get some help and support. I'm not on here much; I prefer YouTube.

I have about another 50 pounds to lose.
I am on the NHS 12 week weight loss plan, which you can find on the internet. It has tips and hints and also a plan.
So far I am on week 14, I lost 16 pounds in the first 12 weeks just over a pound a week so nothing drastic.
I do weigh myself every morning as that's just my way and I do watch the number of calories per day.
I have been here every day since November and will be for the foreseeable future. Maybe we can support each other.

I believe you are in the right place. I myself, am mostly at goal weight, but even that is a challenge. We are all in different places but we offer each other support, ideas and what works for us. Each of us is different, so adjustments are needed for all. We have one common goal and that is to be as healthy as we can for the rest of our lives. We are human, so there are challenges each day and each day is a fresh start. I hope you find this group worth your time.
