Does TE have a weight loss support group/thread/whatever?
If not, is there another board that does, that some of you participate in?

pooks i am trying to lose weight too, and have been looking for an online buddy... preferably one that cycles
.... if you want to, we could buddy up for support.
maybe if the two of us start, others might join us?

it would be so good to have people to talk to. i tried ww with a woman at work last year, but she flat out refused to exercise... wouldnt even walk across campus so it was really frustrating
cos she was losing weight without exercising and i was losing more slowly cos i was exercising 
i lost 14 kilos (30lbs) but have put 7 back on
and i am tired of being overweight.... really really really tired of it. 46 years tired of it.
keeping it private is probably good ... and maybe everyone doesnt want to read about our weight stuff anyway

There are quite a few of us here that are doing Weight Watchers. No reason to feel you need to stay private, this is a pretty supportive group.

I am not on WWs, but I am working on losing weight and gaining more lean muscle.

Hey, I'm in! Today I started counting Weight Watcher points again. I was religious about it last year for 5 months and lost 50 pounds. Then I stopped writing all my food down, maintained for 6 months, and now have gained back about 13 of what I lost. But today is a new day!
My plan is to follow WW for a month, then eat right but not do a journal for a month, then get back to the journal for a month, etc until I lose the 33 pounds I want to lose. I just can't bear to face the prospect of religiously following WW until I reach my goal, because last year between WW and daily exercise I felt like I had a second full-time job.
I look forward to you ladies keeping me honest!

Does anybody mind if we find a way to keep it private?
I'd love to be able to talk about it with other cyclists.
Maybe a few people who have already lost weight cycling would mentor us! (Well, one can hope!)
