Arcelas the n00b

Hello, I am Arcelas, a former warrior from WoW. I have been transported to the real world by dark magic. I need another Orc to keep me on the warrior path. Online is fine. I'm trying to eat less and swing more comically enormous hammers.

HELP! I cannot seem to think of any quests to create for myself. I need some suggestions! I am a 6'5" 293 lb man who needs to stop eating like an 11-year-old. I want to be more outgoing, maybe even go on a date. I currently sing karaoke and do magic tricks on the weekends. But I need some self-accountability. Please help this noob?

Hello, I am the world's greatest superhero, Useless Boy! My former partner, Captain Pointless, was defeated by our archnemesis, Dr. Hadabebe. Let's fight crime and whole milk together!

I've been doing better in real life than this thread would indicate. Up and Moving, eating well, no liquid calories. Looking forward to weigh-in on Sunday

Monday was a bad day. Depressive episode. Sometimes I don't feel like eating anything during one,b other times I eat multiple cartons of ice cream. This time was no food, and sleeping all day. Couldn't even drag myself from my bed to go for my walk. Tuesday has been better. Egg, cheese ham thing for breakfast, 25 strawberries for lunch, BBQ burger for dinner. More Karaoke!

2 years ago, I weighed about 235-240lbs. I was told by multiple people, at multiple locations, that I looked like Tom Welling from Smallville. Fast forward 730 days, and I've been told I look like John Belushi. OUCH. (No offense John) I want to go back to my healthy, sexy self. Along the way, I will be fighting a few Monsters: 1. BiPolar Bear - His sharp teeth and claws are great for tearing apart your plans. 2. The Depresssionator - His foul attitude and bad hygiene would be enough. But his "just stay in bed with skittles" attack is legendary. These monsters have followed me closely my whole life, but I am determined to beat them. This week's goals: 1. Continue Paleo lifestyle changes. 2. Increase daily walk to 7 minutes 3. NO SODA AT ALL. Sunday's Progress Report: Slept all day, due to being up all night Saturday for a karaoke contest. Ate at Golden Corral for breakfast (brother's treat), but ate wisely. Going for my seven minute walk right now, then in bed by 2300 hours.

I'm Bipolar/Manic Depressive with PTSD. Yes I am receiving treatment and have been for years. Some days are better than others. I firmly believe in the symbiotic nature of body and mind/soul. If I can get my pysical health to an acceptable level I believe I will be better equipped to handle the highs and lows my mind throws at me. On a recent note, I did well this week. No soda (big deal for me), took a daily walk outside, ate mostly paleo-based diet, and got good rest, on a workable schedule. I am looking forward to this coming week, and ready for its challenges. Lets get to level 2!

"For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again". Proverbs 24:16 I may not be very religious, but that passage speaks to me. Seven falls. Seven respawns. When I started the Nerd Fitness™ journey, I weighed around 275 lbs, and was already eating relatively well. The I went into a deep depressive episode that lasted for weeks. When I finally came out of it, I was 308 lbs., and my food choices were those of a man looking forward to his 1st heart attack. I have started walking up and down my staircase for 14 minutes a day, but I'm not consistent. I need help, fellow nerds. I need to be accountable to someone. Please. Help me up for the eighth time?

I am Arcelas, defender of all that is pixelated. At least, I used to be. Arcelas was the first character name I created for WoW all the way back to Vanilla. I mighty warrior with a will of steel and pants of twill. Death was something I was well acquainted with. Whether I was falling off something or being hunted by boars, I died so often I decided to fight naked, so my repair cost would be negligible. And that's where I am today. Fighting naked. I am Bi-polar and Manic with PTSD and anxiety disorders. When I started this grand Nerd adventure, I was 276 lbs. I am the jump-right-in-with-both-feet-head-first sort of guy. So I went cold turkey. In fact I think I mainly ate turkey for the first few weeks. Progress! I felt better, I looked better, and I needed suspenders to keep my pants around my shrinking waist. I now am 285 lbs. With almost no energy. To be honest, I do not know what to do to start again. Help me please?

My father, the great and powerful Dadman, had agreed to come with me to the Gym, to my spotter, cheerleader, and confidant. we shall see where this goes.

Character Name: Arcelas Feristorm Race: Nord (Tall fair humanoid) Class: Ranger Day One: Just woke up from a drunken stupor. The creature lying next to me barely looks human let alone female. Well, that barkeep was right, that drink will knock you on your ass. I sneak out of the motel room, leaving my +8 pants and Dagger of Danging. Gods help me, I mutter as I jump out the window.

Hi I'm Dave and I'm looking to carpool to a gym in my town of Lincoln, NE. I also would like a spotter/motivator, and I'm sure I can provide the same. PM me if you think this could work out

Thank you for your reply. I'd say that the comradery I find here is the most valuable part of Nerd Fitness.

I was listening to Bob Marley. I wasn;t supposed to do that. I always seemed to pull the boss early when my brain was full of Bob. "ARCELAS!!!!", My guild master roared at me. He liked to roar, so I nicknamed him Leo. He did not appreciate my creative humor. I was questing alone on that fateful day. I had sat down to eat a bit of dry bread. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him. A GIANT. He was wielding a large rainbow trout. I quickly stood to defend myself, but alas, was only armed with a Pizza Hut Cheese Stick, dipped in marinara sauce. I was no match, and fell mortally wounded. I tried to get my strength back by eating an entire bag of chips in ten minutes. I followed that up with a glass of root beer. The whole time the giant is calling down curses upon me, weakening my resolve to win. Back in the real world, my scale is telling the awful truth, and the tape measure gives no hope. I have lost ground. Is it worth running back to my corpse (Everquest Reference) or just starting over. I have more support from family and friends, a shiny new bike, and unfortunately a new medicine that is kiucnfg with my mind. Need a friend, a confidant, and an ass kicking.

Hey Lincolnites! Anyone here workout @ Prairie Life Fitness on P St? Looking for a old blind lady to my Deadpool.

You sound to me like you need to 1st accept who you are. Some of what you are saying can become the springboard to eating disorders. I'm not saying you have an eating disorder, it just sounds a lot like my friend who had anorexia. We are here for you. We give each other strength Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

*Says you're welcome in sign language*

I'm 6' 5", and weigh 280 lbs. I've lost about 20 pounds since Christmas so I can definitely relate. I am a wee bit younger than you, but I don't think that's going to affect our progress. Welcome to the Rebellion! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forums to the Rebellion and to your own epic Journey. I was going to start today I'm running a very high fever and I'm under about 11 blankets in bed trying to get warm so I may have to put the physical parts off until Sunday. But I can still do the mindset exercises prepare myself mentally for what's about to happen. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Warrior here. I know that when I'm tanking , I love to have a druid in my group. So I'm looking forward to your posts, and your help on bringing down this boss we call unhealthiness Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Just to clear it up, That is the how long the Superman character has been around.

Elastigirl! Hopefully I'll be more flexible at the end of my goal as well. Grrrrrr

Next week another movie about my life comes out. I like the guy playing me, he's a handsome chap. And is he built or what? My red and blue suit mocks me from the back of the closet, reminding me of a healthier time in my life. I may be getting old (82 last I checked), but if you believe a man can fly, then I believe I can still get back in shape. I have a world to save, whether by journalist's pen or warrior's fist. Lo, as I call her, is getting tired of me sitting on the couch watching reruns of my great deeds. She asks me what I stand for anymore. The truth is I stand for the McDonald's line, and that's only because they do not provide chairs. My goal is to fit back into my suit by October 2016. I'll have a new goal by then, probably involving Wonder Woman and Catwoman, but let's stay simple for now. S.M.A.R.T. Goals: reduce sugary drinks to 3 per week (including fruit juice)increase vegetable servings to 4 per weekdecrease refined carbs to 3 servings a week (white pasta, white bread, sugary cereal)Walk my staircase 3 times a week for 14 minutesComplete the Nerd Fitnessâ„¢ Beginner Bodyweight Workout 3 times per weekComplete 15 consecutive pushups

Greeting fellow NERDs, So I am the quintessential fat nerd guy. A lot of people do not notice this for two reasons: one, I hide in the dark a lot; and two, I am 6' 5" with an enormous frame. But I know. Yes, I know I'm fat, unhealthy, balding and looking down the barrel of 35. If I'm not in shape by the the time I need prostate exams, I will be very sad. And possibly dead. I'm on disability for a non-physical issue, so money is tight. Also they do not let me drive anymore. So all my workouts should be done at home, with body weight. Since I have 280 lbs of it, I should be able to make a go of it for quite a while using only me as resistance. Looking forward to comparing ideas with all of you. Regards, Arcelas

I'm Bipolar and Manic-depressive. I was also born without feelings. Probably Aspergers. So on somje days I will be your greatest asset, the greatest motivator you've ever seen. And some days I'll be thinking about removing your skin and using it as a cape. Skinman. No powers, just a lot of explaining to do. So we should probably keep this online and safe. So take the mace out of your purse, (Wow it's an actual mace, is that a morning star?) +3 to awesome. I need an equally evil but fair taskmaster to keep me on the straight and narrow. For example, I ate an entire family-sized bag of peanut butter M&M's last night. Feeling lethargic today. So if you haven't already called the police and went to the panic room, let's talk.
