There is a small group of women that I was supposed to be meeting at least once a month. The problem is one of them is "serious" 90% of the time. The other three fall between 50% of the time and 20%. I'm so frustrated!!! This site has been such a blessing w/our group not exactly working out. I wish there were more people out there, even more serious than myself that I could meet w/on occasion.
No, this is not a plea...for the people on this site. I'm sure we all live miles apart.
I'm just expressing my own frustration. I know true lasting motivation has to be found within myself for the long haul. I just thought it would have been nice that's all.

Hi Sheila, I understand what you are going through about motivation. I started taking aerobics classes to get into shape last year and I was the only male in the class. But it was the best thing I could have done. I started out in an easier class and now have worked my way up to Tae Box. I guess it is easier for guys to go it alone but all I can say is that you have to focus on the benefits to you and to keep motivated. Good luck and don't get discouraged!

Hi Sheila
Maybe you can't meet with us monthly in person but better still you can talk to us daily , hourly and every time you need us. I'm new as well and I welcome the support of others who are motivated. I plan to use this site as a my group, why don't you think about doing the same. Good luck and I talk to you soon.
Debbie

Edward and Debbie
You guys are absolutely right!
My experience has been that here at "Practical" there's always someone waiting to inspire, motivate and give me a reality check! And I get to do the same...
Thanks bunches!!!

Hi Sheila!
I can understand what u just said, because this happened to me just last week. Three of us had decided to meet once a fortnight to share notes on our weight loss journey. The other two just ran off to buy some clothes and stuff!! I was left looking like a fool, but that only motivated me to do better, to show them that hard work does have it's benefits.!! and then I'd be shopping for clothes many sizes smaller...!( bitchy, am I, but that was what I visualized...;-)
take care
