1. Ask A Family Member or Friend To Join You
The love and support that you can get from family and friends should never be taken for granted. This is one area where the people love you unconditionally and if you were to ask, I am sure that you would get the support that you need. A great motivator is if you can get a friend or family member to actually join you on your quest to improve your life. Having someone else go through the same experience as you will help to encourage you to stick with the program.
There may be days when you don’t feel like going for that 40 minute walk or off to the gym. If you know that you could be letting the side down, this can be an extremely good motivating factor that will force you to push through those negative feelings and to get those training shoes on and head on out the door. The fact of knowing that someone else is depending on you to be there for them will in turn help you stay focused on your own needs.
The other benefit of working out and dieting with a friend or family member is that you will always have someone there who will congratulate you on each achievement that you make.

2. Join a Weight Loss Club
If you don’t have anyone that you can turn to for the support that you need, then you could consider joining one of the many weight loss programs that are currently available. Two examples that hold regular meetings are Weight Watchers and Slimming World. Once you find out about a club that is in your area, you pay a joining fee and you are able to meet up with other people who are also working to lose weight.
This is another great way of getting the help that will keep you focused. You will be provided with the support and guidance that you need. You can get extra assistance and information from the group leaders if you find that you are struggling with certain aspects of your diet.
3. Find a Support Group Online
If you can’t find a support group in your area or you are unable to make those meetings, another alternative is to join one of the many online forums. If you do an internet search for weight loss forums you will discover that there are quite a few to choose from and many of them are free. In order to participate you may need to register your email address but once you gain access you can connect with other likeminded people who are looking for the type of support and encouragement that will help them to stay on their diet.
