What got me started this time was my doctor getting through to me that if I didn't lose weight I would get diabetes. I've had some Weight Watcher leaders and they kept me going to meetings. The people in my online support groups influence me by sharing their experiences and giving me support.

What people have influenced your weight management journey? * bbbearsmom you have influenced my weight loss management journey because you have maintained for 12 years, what an accomplishment! I love the stories you tell us about your weight loss journey, it really inspires me. You are always here for us, thank you!š¹ * I like the general threads on here, good thread that hpeterson posted asking for others help on weight management. * I love the virtual workshops because people have so many interesting stories and helpful hints. * In person meetings in my earlier years. Coaches and class members who achieved and maintained at goal.

Influences:
* My sister...she and I are doing iMt together this time * Groups like this one and some on Facebook
Not really sure what inspired the reason to go back to eating OP in 1984/1998/NOW BUT it has happened three times to get me back to goal weight. SO, not going to knock it and give thanks/gratitude for the apps, groups and people that have helped motivate, inspire, and keep me on track.

This group has been terrific by leading by example. My weight loss coach friend has been great too in getting me going. My husband has been incredibly supportive and consistent as well.
my problem is solid consistency, I have a bit of one good week, several days off. Iām looking to focus on better on plan eating. I just went away for a few days and ate outside dining and did not plan and it became a free for all.

That is often what happens to me when we go for our overnight trips to Manhattan.

I have always been self-motivated. Probably my mom, who loved to eat but was always reasonable, she never restricted herself and she was always slim. My dad was a stress eater, so I saw the two ways of behaving growing up.
Of course, Judy introducing me to Beck has been a super-influencer. And this group is invaluable for ongoing support and insight.
