Tess411

Third times the charm! You got this! And from one shorty to another, we gotta represent all the badass fun-sized people out there, right?! :]

Daaaaaaannnnngggg, yours is much more detailed than mine, haha! And FINALLY someone else that realizes that Arabic food is the bomb.com Good luck on your goals! That trail run sounds beastly!

Hey, eat at home is one of my goals too! I just can't resist fast food when it's so convenient, you know? Good luck on your goals!! There is no time like the present!

Just wanted to introduce myself real quick! I'm Tess411, I'm 18 years old and my goal is to learn basic weight-lifting techniques and keep track of what I can lift! When I first began to work out I was incredibly focused on cardio, but I realize now that I have basically no strength. I would say my superpower right now is endurance- I ran my first 5k a couple months ago and I love it. To sum it up, I'm an elf that wants to be a Ranger (So far. It seemed to be the one I resonated with most.) MAIN GOAL Complete P90xMISSIONS Play kickball and soccer in my sorority's leagueDo 10 pull-upsTouch my toes (My flexibility is pathetic, haha!)LIFE QUEST Find a new job related to my major (Nursing)No fast food!I really can't wait to get more active on this site and hear about everyone else's goals! Don't be a stranger now! :] If you have any suggestions, please don't be afraid to share, because I'm about as new to weight-lifting as you can get!

Newbie joining the challenge late!-Let's do this!

Hello everyone! This is my first ever post so forgive me if I seem a little lost, but I am extremely excited to be here! I'm horrible about introducing myself, but I'll give it my best shot! My name is Tess411 and I'm 18 years old. My fitness journey began sophomore year of high school when I decided that being overweight wasn't really for me, ha. I'm 5'2 so not only was my weight making me lethargic, but every little pound I gained was reflected back on me 10-fold. Most of my issues were due to poor eating habits-not for lack of activity (I played varsity soccer during high school, I still love it but unfortunately hardly play anymore). Not going to lie, I had some major self-esteem issues when losing weight and lost it in an unhealthy fashion. It took me basically a year to get over my "I'm fat" mentality and get over the numbers (because without the strength to back it up, who needs numbers,right?). Fast forwarding to the present: I'm currently 100lbs (working on gaining some weight through lifting) and have no strength. While I look like I'm in shape, I'm not even close. I'm hoping to work on more weight-lifting strategies so I can embrace my new motto that one of my friends turned me onto, "Strong is the new Skinny." (I love this saying!) Ready to get over my unhealthy past and finally start living for me, rather than my body image! So here I am, a total newbie to lifting or anything that's not cardio, haha! MAIN GOAL: Complete P90x (1 week in) MISSIONS: Play kickball & soccer in my sorority's leagueDo 10 pull-upsLearn basic weight-lifting exercises and track my progressLIFE QUESTS: Find a new job related to my major (Nursing)No fast food!Randomness: Wondering what ya'll think about P90x? I've tried to start twice before (third time's the charm!) and I want to know what everyone else thinks about it? Thank you guys so much, I can't wait to get more active on this site and hear about your progress as well! Don't be a stranger! :] Btw, can anyone guess the quote from my post's topic? I'll love you forever. Haha!
