| I'm a newbie too and am pretty overwhelmed by this huge community. I'd like to be on a couple of boards that are there and ready to reply when I need them for support but no one seems to post and answer questions quickly or even just say wtg for losing 1 pound. I realize you can't be on here all day but someone must be on in this huge community. Not really complaining just not sure what I'm doing wrong. Am I posting on the wrong places?

| Welcome! Another way to find groups with similar interests is to click on the "Sparkteams" tab at the top and then on "all sparkteams" and you'll get a search box where you can put in keywords relevant to what you would like. It will bring up a list of Sparkteams that fit your keyword. Best wishes!

 LIGHTENINGBUG! You are right, this is a huge community and to find groups of people with similar interests and experience explore the Sparkteams area. There is every kind of team you can think of. I know there is one for people in their 30's, I belong to one for people in their 40's myself. Check out the parents and family support area in the community message board as well.
Another way to find a group is to join a challenge and have the support of working on a common goal. I belong to the 5lb team challenge. We are in week 3 and our goal is to lose 5lbs in 4 weeks and stay in our calore range, drink 8 glasses water, eat any 5 fruits & veggies each day and exercise. It is alot of fun but there are many more like this on in the challenge area. Many of the ongoing challenges are also sparkteams. My suggestion is to poke around any see what fits you. Try several out and do try both the sparkteams and challenges, it really does make a difference.

| This is a HUGE community - how do I find people who are in similar places (at the beginning lol) of an 80+ pound journey of weight loss? Or how do I find a small group of folks who are where I am in my life, early 30's, 3 small children, or who have similar interests. Would be nice to have an online relationship with a few folks to keep me motivated but I am overwhelmed by the size of this community!
