weight loss group

[Anonymous]

Hi all
45y, 5'3" and weigh 210lb. I would like to lose 50 lb but find that I work best when I have a support system and do it with a group.
Has anyone worked with an online group coaching for weight loss/fitness. I am finding a lot on 1-on-1 coaching but not many group ones. Look forward to any insight!

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm trying to lose 15 pounds.

Are you looking for something like Noom?

I did a group through my insurance. It was free and they sent me a fitbit and a bluetooth scale. It's called Sharecare Scale back. They have groups at a variety of times which is really helpful if you have kids. All virtual. The groups were a bit meh to be honest. Most people had their camera off. But you do have access to the leader who is a nutritionist. And there were some helpful aspects.

I am looking for something similar. I did start IF 8 days ago. I’ve never done anything like this before but enough was enough. If you’re interested, lmk.

Maybe we could form our own?

I think WW would work well for you. There is an option where you can do virtual group meetings.

I'd be happy to join a group. We can take it off DCUM for some privacy. I have lost 40 but hope to lose another 60.

op here - thanks for all the support! I am not very social media savvy so not sure how to do a private group like this but am willing to join any option!

It's 1 on 1 for a coach and you get a group too (it takes a few weeks). I talk to someone in my group who I like. There are probably a ton of Facebook groups but watch out for MLM peddlers.

Half Size Me has a free podcast and then you can pay to join for teaching modules and either a facebook group or, if you don't do facebook, a forum like this but dedicated to weight loss. I think there are groups, too, but i don't do them. I do like the slw-and-steady approach for long term success.
