Hello everyone!! well I am new so I thought I would say HI to every one.... I am 20 years old and live in southern CA... I am putting all my time and effort in to trying to lose weight lots of it lol I have tried many times and got no where so I am going to really do it this time!!! so I am just looking for some support and any advice any one wants to give me would be so great!!!! alright thank you for your time

Hey, I'm sure that you will do great! I think that the most important thing to remember is that it can be done and it can't be done fast. Look at it in the long run! Three months from now is a long time and a lot of work, but if you slack, that three months will zip by and pretty soon you'll be looking back thinking "man, I wish I'd worked for those three months, then i'd have lost 15 lbs." I speak from experience : o) Best of luck to you in reaching your goal!

Welcome to the forum.

I'd suggest starting up a diary/journal for yourself in the appropriate section of the forum. It's not only good for accountability, but also meeting some of the members.

I'd also recommend reading the stickie post found at the top of the On Topic section of the forum. It's titled "words of wisdom." There's a lot of info packed into that one post.... but it will be worth your while.

Best of luck and look forward to hearing more from you.
