I'm already a member of both the Academy and Nerd Fitness Yoga. I never actually bothered to make an account here for some reason, but I'm here now. I think one thing that's been missing from my efforts to get healthier is true accountability. I may mention to friends that I'm trying to lose weight, but I don't really have a community of people to check in with. Well, until now! I am a 23 year old guy living in Massachusetts. I work two jobs, so I'm busy, but not too busy to find time for my hobbies. I spend a lot of time playing video games. It's possible you may have guessed one of my favorites already. I also have recently been looking into starting Aikido. Oh, and I'm transgender. I'm about 215 lbs, as of about a week ago. I'm not really sure what my goal weight is. I just know that I'm overweight, and it's negatively impacting my health. It also definitely impacts my self esteem, since the fat I have is distributed according to my hormones, which I have yet to hack. (Just to clarify, by "hacking my hormones" I mean going on testosterone.) While it's not necessarily my job to convince people of my gender, it's certainly no fun getting misgendered all the time, and I'd prefer it if I gave off fewer "girl" signals to perfect strangers. Also, I'd love to have more energy, and I'd love to see what I can do with my body, testing its limits (safely) and maybe discovering things I love about it instead of just wallowing in "why me" angst. Anyway, that's a bit about me.
