Does anyone know of any good online weight loss groups?

Question

I am looking for some online support, or a chat room, for weight loss. Does anyone have any recommendations? It doesn't matter what type of diet the other people are doing, I am just looking for other people to talk to while trying to lose weight.

Answer 1

sparkpeople.com

you can make a customized diet plan for yourself, and an exercising

plan, there are forums, on-line groups and you can find real life

groups in your area, and join them, and it's all free

Hello!

Firstly, you need to be careful with weight loss. Rapid weight loss really isn't healthy for you and if you are planning on losing weight for an event, then you need to plan in advance. Typicaly guidelines are 2 to 3 pounds weight loss a week is healthy. More than that and you do run a risk of damaging yourself.

Losing weight is, in itself, relatively easy. You need to

1) Consume Less Calories

2) Burn More Calories

What is difficult is the motivation for weight loss.

Most people struggle to lose weight because they do not have the motivation and because they give in to all the temptation around.

I personally have found that hypnosis is an excellent way to deal with weight loss motivation as it works with the subconscious mind and really helps you get motivated. A good hypnotist can also do things like stop you craving chocolate and sweet things and help you be more motivated with exercise and the like.

I've also found that as the excess weight starts to drop off I am feeling much more self confident and better about myself.

All the best to you!
