Jotunheim

I just saw your post Gem, sorry for the slow reply. I got the name from Norse Mythology, although that sounds like a pretty cool book.

I'm doing pretty well so far. Finished out the semester, so that's one life goal down. The others are in progress.

Workouts are going well, but I need to work on the diet aspect some.

All in all things are going pretty well I would say

I'm doing the operation slim-down one. It's going well so far

well, on the upside, gluten-sensitivity pushed me into the whole paleo thing. But its still a hard adjustment

Hey Everyone, Evan here

I've been following the site for quite a long while and finally decided to join, because I like the general attitude on the forums. Also, I finally reached the point where I'm tired of being limited by my fitness level, and I don't want the future to be like the past.

Background: I'm a 19 year old College student. Currently, I'm ~6' 1" and ~240 lbs

I played soccer and rugby at a competitive level, so I have a certain level of athletic ability but I've always been overweight. Time for that to change.

On the workout front, I'm more into lifting weights than cardio, because who doesn't like lifting heavy stuff? I plan to work more cardio into my schedule though, just in case zombies show up (Rule #1: Cardio) , and I don't want to be strong but lack any endurance. Also, I will conquer the pull-up by the end of this year.

Diet:I'm attempting to follow a Paleo-esque diet, and it's seeming to be working out well. I have a gluten sensitivity, so it works best anyway.

Anyway, thanks for having me, the boards are awesome
