how does the New Day Your Way Community work?
...And how will it help me Lose Weight and Get Fit?
The New Day Your Way Community works because it changes how you think about eating and exercise.
You log your food, exercise, thoughts each day. Takes 5 minutes. You do so in small groups
and teams. Your team members read your logs, and comment on them. When you know
that someone is going to read what you write, it helps you become more accountable.
Most often, your group members are positive and motivating, and provide support
which is a critical element in helping you lose weight.
If you interact with the New Day Your Way Community
every day, it is very likely you will lose weight and improve your overall
fitness.
How do I sign up for the New Day Your Way Community
and get started?
It is easy to get started on the New Day Your Way Community.
1. You
Sign Up. It is free.
2. Join a
Group or a
Team.
If you don't find one you like- Start One.
3. Start logging. Daily logging is the cornerstone of effective weight loss, and
engages you in a process called "self-monitoring." Basically a conversation with
yourself each day.
4. If you are new to logging, only focus on that for the first few days. It takes
a while to develop a new habit, and you want to start this process by breaking them
down into easy, achievable goals.
5. Find active groups and teams. This is the SINGLE most important factor in the
success of a group. Yes, you might want to find people with similar interests, geography,
backgrounds etc. -- but first and foremost find active folks.
6. Start slow. Find achievable, short terms goals. Whether you want to lose 50 pounds
or train for a marathon, it is going to take time. Take your time. It will make
it easier, you'll be more successful, and you'll have more fun.
7. The New Day Your Way Community
"Aha Moment." The other members of your group or team can see and read your logs.
They comment and offer feedback, advice and motivation.
8. You can join as many groups as you want, our users suggest that three is a good
number to be part of. The only thing we ask is to be positive and active in your
groups.
9. You can also invite friends directly into your group, through an "Invite a Friend"
feature. Put in their email address, and they will be sent an invitation right to
your group. When they sign up, they will be automatically placed in your group!
Finding the right mix of groups is well worth the effort. A broad support network
is a powerful thing. If you want help getting started, email us or ask a question
in the Community.
