Hi Shane.

I've tended to bounce around on this site, get a little overwhelmed and then fail to accomplish anything. This provides a simple way of getting started, thank you. I plan to have completed these steps within 1 week.

I really feel I need to succeed in this for my happiness and future so anyone reading this please feel free to hold me accountable and bust my chops if I'm not. I'll gladly do the same.

Thanks Shane for being the champion you are, Riceman

Thanks Shane. This is exactly what I needed.

Hugs
Marcy

Thanks, Shane. I just got to this thread and found if very informative. I did join yours and Leslie's challenge forum and have been reading posts. I look forward to success and recognize it is not a fast process, although that is the hardest to deal with. Thanks again. Fran

I'd like to find this again. I found it by clicking on it in someone's signature. Would like to post it on my signature and have no idea how to do that. Can someone let me know ? Since I don't know how to get back here can you shoot me the answer to my profile.

I've been so lost here and this is very helpful

This is so helpful. Thank you, Shane!

Im pretty disappointed! I ordered the Transformation months ago and never received it!! If my card didnt work or something you would think someone would have contacted me buy according to my statement it went through. Feel like I have been ripped off!!

HI Flower121 - Ive sent you an email to see if I can get you some help.

Shane thanks for posting this. It was very helpful to me.

Hello Shane. This is a great page. Really helped me to get sorted out on the website. There are so many options about where to go that it is a bit confusing. I was not even sure about how the messaging system works, but you helped greatly.

Funny signed on so long ago and just never checked out this site. There is a lot here. Thanks Shane for the guide.

Thanks Shane!
