#worktingtowards100  Facebook group

Are you struggling to stay on task with your diet and exercising program

 I know exactly how you feel, although I had been successful in losing over 85 pounds with the help of a nutritional counselor after being diagnosed with diabetes; I was stuck everything i was doing was barely enough to keep me in place;

what I needed was support

what I needed was more accountability

what I needed was ideas on healthy meal and exercise options

in life often times it can be easier taking on certain tasks in life with the help and support of others -- i believe that i am not alone - and after being inspired by Rodney Smith -  I have created a Private Facebook Group- #workingtowards100 - it is a Positive group of People making good choices, great changes and exercising towards greatness;

 Recently, I have taken steps to re-energize this group - I have started the plank challenge on September 1st 2020, in which you start at 20 seconds and at the end of a month you can achieve a 5 minute plank. I also have plans in October to re-utilize live media to invigorate participation - this groups greatest growth and activity was paired with regular Periscope liver broadcasts.
