4. Find Support Through Social Media

I started the Facebook page “Get It Girl” to hold myself accountable and offer support to others trying to lose weight. I share unedited progress pictures and my real struggles along the way.

The page has become an amazing community. We celebrate each other’s victories, talk through challenges, and provide feedback on recipes and meal plans. Having people to turn to who understand the journey makes it so much easier.

If you’re feeling alone or discouraged, seek out online weight loss groups. Connecting with others provides motivation, accountability and knowledge that helps you stick with lifestyle changes. We all need a support system.
