Interested in friends and starting a small new group

[afbemuse]

I want to start a small group for just 5-10ish people maybe more. 

I've joined a few groups but I always feel like I get lost in the crowd. There is less accountability, at least for me, when there's a couple hundred people involved.

It doesn't matter to me sex, age, or specific goals because struggling to get healthy is something everyone can relate to and those differences don't stop people from supporting each other.

I'll make it invite only specifically because the point is to keep it small. Please reply here if you would like to be invited or send me a private message.

Hi there, I just started today as well.  I need a buddy.  I quit smoking about 5 years ago using an online forum.  I needed the same accountablility you just mentioned.  Well I successfully quit, but gained 40lbs and I wasn't a skinny minnie before then.  I could use a buddy.  Someone to keep me accountable.  My name is susan

Hi all, I'm Susan. I'm working up to 10k steps. I get to 7k or even 8 k but not 10. Also I don't get much strenuous activity yet. Going to try elliptical tomorrow. How are you all doing?

Hello. I am not new to owning a Fit Bit but new to these boards. I want to meet some friends who are working toward losing weight and being healthy. 

[ithinkican4me]

OK everyone. What's our goal today. How is everyone doing on the workouts and eating right.

Anyone interested in joining can find the group here:

It's currently open to anyone but once we get membership up I'll be making it invitation only.

I am in, I ike the small group concept.

I have been using a FB for over a year and love it. I am working on a healthy life style change and reaching my goal weight.  I most want my goal weight to be my stable weight. The FB  keeps me motivated and accountable. I am looking forward to sharing with the other members.

Hi Hikeret.  Welcome. You've been doing this for a year.  How wonderful.  How have you found it?  Easy I hope.

[Hikeret]

I am determine to make this a way of life. The statistics on the health of americans is abysmal and scary. I am not afraid of aging but I do want to live a fun, strong and healthy life. To answer your question...NO it has not been easy but I am determine to meet my goal.

I went to the link, but I do not see where I can request to be added to the group? I was reading the posts and trying to comment but did not see an option to do that. Thanks!

[fiercechange]

Ignore that... I found it! Right in front of my eyes!

Hello all.

I got my fitbit a couple months ago but so far it's been an expensive decoration on my wrist.

I'd like to really give the fit life a try (or at least a jumpstart) and I'm ready to support some peers.

See you around!

Carlos

Start by setting a daily step goal. I started with 3000 and slowly progressed to 10,000 +.

Then decide what actions you are going to take, walk, run, stairs, or gym  to meet your goal.

If by 4:30 I have not met my goal, I get up and start moving.

Hope this helps
