Welcome! take some time and browse through all the subforums. Read all the stickies, there's a ton of information from the collective minds of some very smart and dedicated people. You may consider starting your own journal/progress thread, but be sure to comment in others as well! There are unofficial "clubs" in one section where you can talk with people who are in similar circumstances. There are unofficial "challenges" we use to help us stay motivated. And most important, 99% of us will know exactly what you're going through, so you don't ever have to feel embarassed or ashamed.
