Hi all! I decided instead of doing a challenge to move over her for a bit.

A little about me:

I've been around Nerd Fitness off and on for just over 2 1/2 years. Before I found this wonderful community, there was a point in my life where I was 330 pounds. Under the traditional advice, I cut back on calories and worked out a TON! I did 6 rounds of P90X and dropped 105 pounds. Then something happened. I went to go work out and my body completely gave out on me. I thought I just needed to rest, so I took a week off. It didn't help. I became discouraged and quit. As the next year and a half wore on, the weight slowly came back on. In my frustration, I searched for what had happened. I then found Nerd Fitness and began to understand about overtraining, PROPER nutrition, and that I didn't have to kill myself at every workout. As I hung around, I began to fall in love with the community. I started to do some challenges, and unfortunately life got really crazy and I stepped away for a while.

I am now back and not going anywhere

My overall main goal for now is to get back around 200 pounds the right way. No more crash dieting. No more workouts that I want to throw up after. And, of course, talking about nerdy stuff!

To give a baseline, here are my current stats.

Weight : 285 lbs

Neck: 17"

Chest: 48.5

Biceps: (unflexed) 14 1/4" [emoji768] 14 1/2" (L)

Waist: 50" at belly button

Hips: 47 5/8"

Thigh: 25" [emoji768] and (L)

Calf: 17 1/8" [emoji768] and (L)

In this battle log, I'll be posting all sorts of random stuff. Sometimes workouts, food pics, recipes, motivational quotes, and random videos. I look forward to having you in the journey with me!!

WHERE IS THAT?!! I WANT TO GO!!

It's the Huashan Hiking Trail in China. The scary part is that is the tame part of the trail.

For meditation:

I agree that the calm app is good. Also, http://www.meditainment.com has a free guided meditation I use quite frequently and some they sell as well.
