local support groups

[Bill Field]

Does CR Society encourage members to meet locally to encourage each other in the practice of CR? If so, how do I go about finding members who are trying to do the same thing?

[Saul]

Yes; it's a good idea.

 

Post a note to the main CR list, including your location; if there are others reading the list in your area, they'll hopefully

respond to you.

 

To give an example: I'm in Rochester, NY. There are three of us here; we get together for lunch once a month.

 

There's a large such group in NYC, and a lot of CRONnies in Southern California that meet (or used to meet -- I'm not in that group) frequently.

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to introduce myself. I am new to the CR Society as of today.  I am 49,  5"4 and feel best at 114, BMI of 19. I can consume 1000 calories a day and lose but only 1200 to maintain. Period. I exercise every day and I never adjust calorie intake based on exercise. It is already factored in for me. Staying trim takes more discipline each passing year it seems.   I  joined the CR Society today because I want to have the support of other like minded individuals with the same health focused goal where food consumption is concerned. My Dad died of Cancer and my Mother's side from Heart disease. I am wellness focused. I want to proactively decrease my risk factors by eating a nutritionally sound diet, 360 days of the year. (yes, 5 days of holiday or birthday cheating) I am a Whole Foods and Farmer's Market buyer to ensure organically fresh food products. 

 

I invite any member of this CR Society who wants to support and be supported with this personal healthy eating goal to reach out so we can do this together. It is NOT easy to make good food choices every meal of every day. We need to stick together. I am glad I found this organization. Please be in touch if you are interested in more of a one on one or group support process. 

Linda
