TheMadEngineer Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I've been unathletic and overweight for most of my life. In January of last year I was 5'10" and 256 lbs. I realized I needed to make a change in my life. I started a combination of weight and cardio exercise and ate better. There wasn't a real plan, just a general lifestyle change. Now I'm at 228 lbs and I'm a lot stronger, but I need to get better. My overall goals are to get below 200 lbs and improve my endurance, since I'm already fairly strong. Basic Stats: I'm a 23 year old male. I'm from the Northeast US but currently live in KS. I will be graduating in December with a degree in electrical engineering. I work at an engineering firm that designs and builds industrial control systems. Think converyors, robot arms, etc. It's cool. My friends consider me an uber nerd. Mostly because I my interests are computers, programming, electronics, science and mathematics, history and classical literature. I studied Latin for 7 years too. It's my only foreign language so far. Despite being a nerd I don't like comic books or anime. I also don't play video games anymore, waste of time IMO. I also know a lot of trivia, mostly because I spent 75% of my childhood reading. I will read or watch almost anything that is science fiction. Especially in space. Really, anything in space. Anyway, this site looks like fun. I think I'll stick around for a while. 1 Quote TheMadEngineer the level 0 Human My first challenge is here! 5%5% "We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."---JFK Link to comment
