in Getting in Shape
Hey ladies! I've been on the knot for a while but i'm new to this board. I've been trying to lose weight since last June. I lost about 25 lbs but I'm stuck at this point and I want to lose about another 35 lbs. I recently moved to Colorado and I don't have a lot of friends here. At home I had an awesome support group and I knew a lot of people at my gym who were great at keeping me motivated. Here I just feel lost and lonely a lot of the time. I think I might have gained 5lbs in the last month and a half :(. I need something new to motivate me. Any ideas? thanks in advance.

    Is it a possibility for you to join a gym or yoga studio?  I started yoga in December and it's seriously been one of the best things I have ever done.  I can't say that it helps me lose a ton of weight but I'm going to have to get my ring resized and I've had the same ring size for 15+ years.  It's completely changing the look of my body.  But mostly, I think I like it because at the end of a long day it both relaxes and energizes me (I know that sounds impossible but it really happens for me).  I'm also living in a place without my support group of women but my classmates and yoga instructors at the gym are becoming more familiar and anything helps!

    OK, I know it's winter, but you're in beautiful, mountainous Colorado! FI and I would love to move to Colorado, but can't at the moment- we are in flat Oklahoma :-P. That said, every time we go and visit my sister and BIL, we always make sure to go hiking or at least get outdoors. Again, I know it's winter so some of those things might have to wait, but do you have a gym there that you go to? Maybe it's just taking time to get into  routine and see people. I hope it gets better and you find the support you're looking for. This board is always a good place, and make sure you take advantage of what's around you! Good luck!

    Thanks! yeah I have a gym I go to here. And I agree the mountains are amazing! I love it! I can't wait for it to get warmer so I can go hiking and biking. :) I'm a little shy so it always takes me awhile to get to know people in a new place. Thanks for the advice though :)

    I have lost a lot of weight and have been able to keep it off by joining Weight Watchers.  It is a great place to meet new people and develop a support system.
