Several months ago I created a group on Facebook called
Healthy Living.
I extended a public invite to all my friends who were
interested. When our group became more active, I changed the privacy settings
to private group.
This is my sanctuary. It is a way I can connect with my
friends about the trails I face, without my other Facebook friends, family even
bosses and co-workers reading my posts. I can access this group through my cell
phone, so I have the support with me all the time.
The group is very diverse;
some ladies with kids, some without, some work from home, and ages 20ish to
40ish.
Late December/Early January one of the group members posted a weight loss challenge. This challenge made the group extremely active. We decided to add in mini challenges such as share your journal, calories burned, and steps taken.
I am so proud of our group. We are like a little family.
Our group accomplishments;
- Lost over 100lbs as a group
- Have encouraged members that were struggling, and helped them find they’re groove
- Have shared recipes and meal ideas
- Have helped each other through temptations
- Have helped each other with daily struggles that could cause us to fall off the wagon such as dealing with kids, work, family, and life events
- Have encouraged each other to live an active life
