Hey I jut joined after finding this site on one of my million internet searches for "those melt-away exercies" that would make me thin and beautiful like i was 6 years ago at age 10! I know i am young, but i have already experienced all that adults talk about with yo-yo dieting and exercising... i just wish i didnt have to go through this... im 5'5 and 187...and though im not grotesque looking to others whenever i look in the mirror all i see is fat, and with no motivation around me, i feel as if i will never see anything other than fat. Im hoping someone on this site will help me to motivate myself to be better... please help!

Welcome CHILDSTAR. There are a bunch of great people on this site and I am sure they can help with motivation.

One nice thing about this site for motivation is even though I workout at the gym by myself I don't feel alone because of this site.

Keep posting and I am sure everyone will help however they can.

Most important thing to remember....Make little goals first. I used to weigh over 230lbs....I learned that I give up to quickly if I only made big longterm goals. My first goal was....going to the gym 5 days in a row. When I did this I knew I could do anything. Always keep your big goals in mind but focus on the little ones...like this week I won't have chocolate, etc. BUT rememeber if you slip at one meal...you haven't failed you just stumbled a little...so strive to do better on the next meal, or day. To many give up all together before they even get going.
HAve fun and keep us posted
