Hello! This is really my first time to not only Nerd Fitness but really to forums in general. As such I really don't know where I should be or what I should be posting, but here goes nothing. I'm a 20 year old university student brand new to fitness, I've never been desperately overwieght but I've also never really been in shape. I've always dreamed of being healthy/fit/strong and looking great but never took any action towards it. I stumbled across Nerd Fitness about a week ago and now I want to make a complete turn around!! I'm really excited to begin this journey, but I would love some help getting started. If someone could reccomend a particular section of the forums to go to or where I should be posting I would love some help. I'd love to start tracking my progress, set myself up with a character and build some accountability. though generally I'd just like to start engaging with the community and would love a good place to start. Thanks! No matter what feel free to say hi! I'm excited to get going!!!

Rebels! I know that there are a fair share of us Geeks and Programmers out there! I am rallying you together to help take this forum to the next level! Software Engineers get your mobile platform engines up and running! Let's take the REBELLION MOBILE! Let's make this an online collaboration so that we can all openly contribute! What better way to strengthen the Rebellion than by using our strengths? Some Key Features to start with: Shopping List Forum Picture Posting using Mobile Camera Check your Messages (not IM) Track progress/goals on your Challenges Workout plans Stretching/Exercise Demos (either illustrations or videos) Metrics Tracker (input your weight, measurements and have a BMI/BF output feature) I am sure that there are millions more ideas but these seem the most pertinent to me. I travel a lot for my job (going to remote sites to do server inspections and check on port security) so having this all available on my phone would be great! That way, I don't have to pull out my computer every morning and log my weight/measurements and track my meals. Fellow Rebels, let me know what you all think! I can design some cool UI concept drawings if it will help at all, but my programming skills are very limited! I am rallying you all to help! Help me Rebel Engineer-kenobis, you're my only hope! (self kudos for proper use of you're) This is a very basic idea for the app: http://ibuildapp.com/projects.php?action=info&projectid=660110
