Free On-Line Forum Membership

You are well on your way to accessing your free On-Line Community membership. This membership gives you exclusive access to podcasts, articles, recipies and support that will keep you on-track with the Donate Your Weight program. Here are ten easy steps to make your registration process smoother. If you're super web savvy, you might not need these instructions, you can just go straight to the On-Line Community to register for your membership and get started.

Step One: The first step of becoming an On-Line Community member and accessing the message boards is to go to www.donateyourweight.com/bbs and register for your membership. If you click on the link above, it will open in a new window so you can navigate back and forth between these instructions and the registration process if you'd like. Once you get to the On-Line Community Message Boards, just look for the links that say "register". Once you click on the link that says "register" and you'll move on to step two of the registration process.
 
Step Two: Choose the image that goes with the word. In this example, choose the rose.
 
 
Step Three: Input your date of birth.
 
 
Step Four: Check the box after you've read the forum rules. (or before) then click the "register" button.
 
 
Step Five: Choose a username and password. Remember, passwords are case sensitive. If you capitalize in the registration process, you will have to capitalize every time you log in. Enter your e-mail address twice and complete the image verification.
 
 
Step Six: Scroll down and complete the remaining information such as choose how you found out about the site. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, choose "other"
 
 
Step Seven: Continue filling out information. Choose your time zone so that posts and listings you read will be converted to your time zone, not the time zone of someone else. I recommend that you keep the "receive e-mail from administrators" box checked so you can get updates about member events such as contests, teleseminars and podcasts. If you choose "other" in the "how did you discover this site" menu, give specifics in the "other" box. If you were referred by a friend, put their name in the box so they get credit for referring you.
 
 
Step Eight: All remaning information is optional and you can decide to fill it out or skip it. Click "complete registration."
 
 
Step Nine: You will see a window with a message telling you to go check your e-mail. Look for a message from the on-line forums and click the link in the message to make your membership active.
 
 
Step Ten: After you've checked your e-mail and clicked on the link to activate your membership, you can return to the On-Line Forums to log-in and participate. Put the username and password you created into the boxes on the upper right-hand side. Click the "remember me" box. Then, click "log in". This way, the next time you come back to the On-Line Forums, you won't have to log in again.
