in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, my name is Jeski and I am seriously overweight at 23-years-old. I joined this website for encouragement and motivation, both of which help to keep me on the right track. I feel a little embarrassed seeking this sort of motivation from people in my everyday life - sort of like you’re admitting to being seriously big to them, which they no doubt can already see but I don’t want to bring any attention to it. Anyway, seeking friends and inspiration and all that. I really want to make this time THE TIME. So thanks for listening and all that. ^_^

    Welcome, Jeski!!

    The biggest secret (I've learned) to benefiting from this site is to BE HERE. Visit five or six times each day. Set up your signature, goals, ticker, etc. Let this become a hobby and do your best. Motivation is all around you here. The people are fantastic. The info available is great. Even if you stumble or fall there are people always picking you up with supportive comments.

    Rock into it!

    HI...I joined just yesterday, and so far have found EVERYONE to be super helpful and very supportive. I've been slowly making my way through the community boards. Post and enjoy. Don't be embarrassed, we all have something that we need to change. I'm with one of the other poster's...log in several times a day if you are able. This seems to be a good way to keep me focused. If you ever want/need to talk...just let me know!!! I've got a decent background in nutrition and what I don't know..my boyfriend/personal trainer can figure out for me.


    Definitely feel free to add me as a friend if you want :)
    Good luck and keep trying :)
