Looking for Weight Loss Friends to Stay Motivated Topic

Hi HelenW,
You mention that weather can interfere with your walking routine. Just want to share that there are walking videos you can do in the house. Here is an example of a program I do when I can't get outside. Leslie Sansone Walk at Home (https://walkathome.com/) There are some on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enYITYwvPAQ&t=176s) she has an app, and you can get the DVDs.

Does anyone else do these walking videos? Brenda (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

I’m also looking for weight loss friends to increase motivation and have somebody to share tips, tricks, motivation, and even commiseration with. So, anybody can feel free to add me and let me know what your goals are, how you’re coping, and how you’re doing with your plan. Even more so if you’re exercising as well as dieting, as I’m trying to amp up my calories burned now that I’m 5 weeks into eating better.

Hi Jesse-Welcome to MyNetDiary!
Here are some tips that have helped others stay the course.

1. Set a realistic weight loss goal. Trying to lose too much weight too quickly can lead to frustration.
2. Track consistently (at the time of eating and drinking). Here are some tips for using the MyNetDiary database: https://www.mynetdiary.com/mynetdiary-food-database.html
3. Eat 3meals/day and plenty of vegetables. Not only are they full of fiber which makes them super filling, vegetables are rich in antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. Here are some ways to sneak in more veggies: https://www.mynetdiary.com/sneak-in-more-fruits-and-vegetables.html
4. If you run into a road block, post it here on-line. We work hard to make this a safe and supportive environment. https://www.mynetdiary.com/social-support-weight-loss.html
All the best on your weight loss journey! Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

Thanks Brenda, I'll for sure look into that. Ironically my daughter bought us both for my birthday a Fit type watch (each different). Today she said I look like a "fit grandma" with such a chunk on my wrist, t-shirt, leggings and my socks and trainers on LOL. So because she's trying to keep up or exceed me on steps, she started walking around the house, but I will check out those videos thanks again for that tip.

Hi HelenW, that is awesome that your daughter got you a fitness watch. Not sure what brand you have but the Fitbit, Withings, and Garmin can be synced with the MyNetDiary app. It's great that you have positive family support for a healthy lifestyle! Please let me know if you try the walking video. A great option for indoor fitness walking. Have a healthy day! Brenda (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
