Online Weight Loss Support
I Can Lose Weight On The Internet Using Online Weight Loss Support?
If anyone ever told me 5 years ago, even 3 years ago I could lose weight by logging
into the internet, with people I didn't know, I would think they were delusional.
After all, isn't losing weight about getting out more, moving more and putting less
in your mouth? How could the internet, which isn't about working out, which isn't
about eating food have anything to do with helping me lose weight?
The fact is, that the internet is exactly the ideal place to lose weight. Your
friends don't want to hear about your weight loss efforts anymore. Secretly,
they're kind of upset by it..after all, if you lose weight, maybe they'll be the
"fattest" friend. Maybe guys will chose to look at you instead. Your mother, as
much as she loves you, might also have a vested interest in keeping you plump around
the middle. If you start to make changes in your appearance, maybe she'll be forced
to acknowledge her own weight problem. Your boyfriend, as much as he'd love to be
supportive of your efforts, he might start to feel very insecure and think, uh oh,
now that she looks hotter, maybe she'll want to trade up. When you go online and
join an anonymous group, there is no agenda. The people around you only feed off of
the successes of those around them. There is only a vested interest in seeing you
lose weight because it motivates THEM to put in the effort and make them lose
weight.
Online Weight Loss Support Groups Are Customizable
You can hand pick your group. You can upload as much information as you want, or as little as you want. You can reveal all of your little dirty secrets
- there was a thread a while back that said, I just picked up a piece of cake that I
THREW IN THE GARBAGE and BEGAN TO EAT IT AGAIN. Where in real life can you actually
admit that problem and get help for it? You can talk about the little frustrations
that your husband couldn't care less about but your group mates care very much about
and are motivated to help solve, because they feel the same "little" frustrations.
Why is it so satisfying? Because your frustrations aren't little....they're very
real and they're very much apart of the steps you take to losing the weight and
getting the body you want and deserve.
You have your online group to turn to when your family rolls their eyes when you
chose to pass on the apple pie and ice cream. You have your group to report to when
you want to shout, "hey! I went to the gym today!". You have people there when you
have no idea how to handle social situations like group dinners or cocktail hour or
nights home alone, lonely in front of the TV. Your group mates are there to offer
advice, strategies and simple kind words to help you in those moments that are the
hardest.
The internet provides just enough intimacy to feel accountable to your groups and
just enough "removal" so that you're not mired in the social difficulties of "real
life". PEERtrainer's central platform is the internet group, which gives you a way
to form a positive supportive place for you to get the help you know you need, but
just weren't sure where to find people who actually wanted to do the same thing.
You can get help and at the same time, you can also inspire others. It's the
powerful give and take that really works. And it's a new group, one you created all
by yourself to help you get exactly what you want.
How does PEERtrainer work and how will it help me lose weight?
If you are like most people, you know how to lose weight and get fit, but simply have a hard time following through. PEERtrainer was built to help you follow through, via daily logging and peer support. It is easy to get started--you log your food, exercise, thoughts each day. This takes about 5 minutes, and is a great habit to develop. You do this in small weight loss groups of 4 and larger "teams". The logging makes you much more aware of your habits. The group members read your logs and keep you motivated and supported. This tight integration of logging with free online weight loss support groups is very effective. It is also a unique and patent-pending process.

The Importance of Social Support and Self-Monitoring
Group and peer support is a highly proven method for losing weight and getting healthy. It is one thing to learn how to lose weight and eat more healthy, it is another thing to put this into practice on a consistent basis. Friends and family are of limited use because there is only so much burden they can bear. Getting the support of an anonymous group of people each day can make the critical difference. Self-monitoring is the other method, backed by volumes of research, that is highly correlated with weight loss success. You keep a log of your food, exercise, goals and thoughts. When you do this each day it keeps you accountable to yourself, and brings this aspect of your life to the top of your mental agenda. When you are writing each day, you are thinking about the things you write about. This begins to change how you think and facilitates better decision making. When you make better decisions, and have a broad support network, you are very likely to lose weight for the long term. When you do both these things, the odds of success increase dramatically.
A free, online resource that facilities both social support and self-monitoring in an easy to use (and anonymous format) is
PEERtrainer. You sign up, start or join small groups and teams. You log your food each day, and the others in your group see your log and provide support, motivation and accountability each day. It is like a virtual support group available on the internet whenever you need it. It is highly effective and has been
featured in The New York Times, Fitness Magazine, Womens World and Business Week.
What Is A Good Way Of Getting Online Weight Loss Support For Free?
PEERtrainer has some fundamental similarities to Weight Watchers- both approaches view group and peer support as the most important factor to long term weight loss success. Some people on PEERtrainer go to weekly meetings and log every day on PEERtrainer. Others only count their Points on PEERtrainer. Still others find new approaches that build upon the Points system. The key is finding what works for you, and being in an environment that encourages you to explore all your options.
