General Discussion: Diet Support Group

Started by Anonymous on July 22, 2008 10:01 PM

Instead of laying out large sums of money to lose weight, who would not rather have a member support group? We could share ideas, encourage one another, and have weekly weigh-ins. There are probably many like myself who yo-yo diet (not good) but haven't found a solution yet. When we get serious about dieting, there is no one to turn to except some national program which costs money. I can't afford that. I'm a 68-year-old male who would like to lose 20 pounds. But is it ever so hard!! I walk daily but can't get past those 1/2 gallon ice cream sales.
