Monday Mailbag 6

by

Hello and welcome to Monday Mailbag everyone!

You know how it works – MM is my tribute to my love of receiving mail (or is it just my loathing of an empty mailbox?). Every Monday I will post my question for you to answer on your blog. You then come back here and leave a link to where you’ve posted your answer so we can all get to know each other.

Easy peasy. Wanna play?

This week’s question:

I know that without the help and “I know how you feel” support from other women who have been on or are on the same track I’m on. Without them, I think I would have succumbed to temptation a lot more, given up, and all sorts of things. So I’m wondering…

How have your friends, family and fellow weight loss/fitness bloggers helped you?

Remember to leave a link to your response in the comments section! The whole point of this is to reach out, connect, and find out more about each other. I’m looking forward to reading your responses.

Previous Questions:

One - When and why did you get started on the journey to lose weight/get fit/tone up/the whole nine yards?

Two - What are you doing to get fit? Diet plan? Exercise plan? Little steps here and there? How does your plan(s) work for your personality? (Eg. Calorie counting works for me because I like numbers. I like time alone to think, so taking long walks works great for me as exercise.)

Three - What are your other reasons for getting/staying fit? Who are you getting/staying fit for other than you?

Four - In your fitness journey, what has been the hardest thing to give up? (For the most part or completely.)

Five - What are your weigh-in habits? How often do you weigh in? Do you use a digital scale or other? Do you take measurements when you weigh in as well? Do you keep track of your weigh-ins ways besides on your blog?
