Hey! I'm AJ. I'd like to introduce myself.

I'm 21, a vegetarian, and getting serious about becoming more active and getting into shape. I have a severe anxiety disorder that has kept me from reaching my goals but I'm ready to step out and start living again. I delt with my anxiety through compulsive behavior like compulsive eating, and I suffered from agorafobia which makes it nearly impossible to leave the house.... but today's the day. I'm here to stay focused and to meet other motivated individuals. I hope my drive inspires others as I look towards others for inspiration. My plan is 30minutes minimum of physical activity daily to include running, sports, workout classes, etc. Would anyone like to take this challenge with me? I'll help you stay accountable.

Good luck to everyone! - AJ

Hi AJ! I'm shani! I've also dealt with anxiety disorders, but not OCD. It's awesome that you got through it! Just take one day at a time ^_^

Hey! Thanks for the reply. The disorder makes it so hard to do the simpliest things... get out of bed, go to work, brush my teeth even! Thus, getting to the gym etc. is a huge task. On the bright said I'm beaming with pride when I meet a goal and finish a workout. How is your journey going?

That's good! I know how you feel about finishing a workout..it's awesomeness
My journey is great so far. I wish I remember what day I started. I've lost 4 pounds in the past week and a half, I think. My brother bought a treadmill on black friday so I go on that everyday for about 25 minutes. How's your journey so far?

It's going great so far!!! buuut i just started. I have a diet-blog on this site, do you? It's a great motivator. Keeps me accountable. 25 min a day sounds pretty good!
