Officially introduce yourself to the community by sharing your goals, obstacles or accomplishments. Don't be shy.. we're all here for the same reason. The more support we share the easier it will be to reach our goals!
My best advice for you is to be your own hero. This site is full of helpful people, but ultimately it's you that has to push yourself, and have discipline when others around you don't. It aint easy, but you'd be surprised at how good it feels to find that kind of inner strength.
