  • New to the Neighborhood

    Hi Im Jeff Im a 21 year old male from Jacksonville,Florida. I have been off an on fad diets throughout my teens from Slimfast to Weightwatchers to the 6 Week body makeover advertised on television. My aunt suggested that I find a diet that will work and dedicate myself to it, so here i am :yikes

    Ive had a problem with my weight for quite a time now and finally ive decided to show people who doubt me that I can really do it!

    Welcome to the board, Jeff!

    This is the easiest way to lose weight. If you're hungry you eat. But soon you won't need to as often.

    Look around especially at the before and after forum.

    If you haven't already, read the book. That is the single most important bit of advice I could give.

    And come here often, you'll get all the support and motivation you need.

    Good luck.
    Jim
