Hey guys

Hello everyone,

My name is Tyler and I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm 5'11" and weigh around 130lbs and I'm 18 years old. I've never worked out in my life other than in middle school P.E. class so that's why I'm here.

I started doing drugs when I was 15 y/o and never really cared about myself or anything else after that. Then I met this girl who I cared for very much. We were together for 2 years, I loved her. I stopped doing drugs for her, I left public school for home school so she wouldn't think I was cheating on her, and I stopped talking to all of my friends because she didn't like most of them. Well, after our 2 years of dating she decided she wanted more than just me, so we broke up. Since then I've lost most of my self esteem, I don't act the same as I used to, I have no friends, and I'm depressed almost every day. I started playing computer games 24/7 to get my mind off her and everything else, but I've had enough of staying up until 3-4AM every morning and feeling tired everytime I wake up and looking like a skeleton with no shirt on.

I'm here because I was thinking if I got into a habbit of working out, eating better, looking better, getting tan, and just changing my everyday lifestyle that I would finally be happy. The only problem is that I don't know how. Like I said, I've never worked out other than in my middle school P.E. class. I want to learn how to, where to, and when to do everything I need to become a different person. So if anyone here can PLEASE give me some information on how I can start out, what to eat, if I should sign up for a gym, just anything then it would be greatly appriciated.

Sorry if I seem like a begger or just a pathetic person, but you have no idea how sucky it feels to be ignored by a lot of people because of the way you look/act.

Thank you in advance and hope to hear from you all soon,
Tyler
 
Sounds like a good idea to me. Definitely get off your butt and kick it into gear. Here is a link that will give you great info on weight training. Read it and read around this site (including the diaries) to get a feel for what you need to do.
