Hey guys! Just introducing myself to you! I am a newbie here, or at least making myself knowned here recently. I am in the trainging of Shaolin Kung Fu, and doing some yoga. I have taken on the current 6 week challenge, and its awesome! I feel the challenge is the form that works and it have helped me coming back to my Kung Fu training, yesterday was my first training in almost two months due to my back problem. I must say, I am starting to fall in love with Nerd Fitness! Great forums and fantastic help! If you guys want, please write a thing or two about yourself, I would love to get to know you guys better.

Hey guys! Thanks, Miss America and Teirin! Sorry for not aswering until now, been busy with the challenge. And thanks for the advice you told me, I will be certain to check out Monks Guild and Monks Courtyard! At home I do some yoga, sit ups, kicking excercises, and I am out walking (walking alot) because my chiropractor told me walking would be great for my back. And it works!!! Who would have thought!? My back is getting stronger and more flexible! And yesterday I was back at my Kung Fu training, and I told them about my back and they adjusted the WHOLE training for me. That is so thoughful of them. And it was great! I've missed Kung Fu so much you wouldn't beleive. I've longed for it. Next training is on Sunday and there is Qigong om Monday, so thats the plan. Any how, the challenge is going great all though my eating habits is worse this week due to spring and hanging out with friends (ice cream and beer...) But I am pulling my self together now, even though I've eaten alot of veggies. This 6 week challenge is a great concept! I love it so far! I have one question, do you guys know any good work out for abdimen and thighs? They are very weak due to my weight. Its hard carrying the weight, and I wish to strengten the core muscles. Thanks again and if you have some more advice, I am open to suggestions.

Hey everyone! I am a nerdy swedish woman in her 30's and I wish to participate in this 6 week challenge! When I read about the 6 week challenge in the newsletter this morning, I reacted as if this challenge were directed to me. So, I started to plan. I am in a fase right now for metamorphosis but as many I have obsticals, as weight and back problems. I know both of them will ease if I just level up. So I hope I can do this here. I already eat sufficient of healthy food, all though to fatty and to much, and less greens than I acctually thought. And my back is hindering me in many ways. But now its changing. And its all thanks to you guys here on Nerd Fitness. My goal is to continue my training in Shaolin Kung Fu which I started this year, and to regain my mental health and strength. To succed I have to: 1. Out walking for an half or and hour each day, and some excersises at home. 2. Eat 50% greens with every meal. 3. Be Optimistic! 4. Having realistic goals (I am not going to be a Kung Fu master after just one level, right? ) 5. Ceep track and find support here on Nerd Fitness. I know I am a day late, but i will catch up. /Janni
