ONLINE SUPPORT
If you're worried that the holidays might seriously disrupt your exercise program and food plan, perhaps you could use some online support. Here are three information-packed sites that offer discussion groups as well as other resources for making it through party season.
- Cyber Diet (http://www.cyberdiet.com) has more than a dozen support groups for healthy weight loss and exercise, including a special area geared to the holidays.
- The diet and fitness channel at IVillage (http://www.ivillage.com/diet) has support groups, plus a holiday guide with suggestions for fitness as well as menu makeovers.
- Three overweight sisters joined forces and went public with their weight loss efforts - the result is this supportive site, which they call Three Fat Chicks on a Diet (http://www.3fatchicks.com). Lots of recipes, very friendly.
