  1. Hey guys. I'm looking to hopefully be a Ranger once I'm through my Level 1 challenge. I was wondering if I could get some help/accountability for my first challenge and get to know to some of you all in this guild.
  2. Our story begins a long time ago, in a turn-based, text-based, role playing game called Vagabond's quest... TL;DR And ends, 12 years later, with me married to another gamer and expecting our first child together. When I joined The Rebellion, I was looking to lose weight, but the reality is that I'm 28 years old, the proverbial 'clock' scares the dickens out of me, and I told The Hubster that I'd either be at my goal weight or be a mother within a year. In my first challenge with The Rebellion, I actually lost about 8 pounds! I had busted through my first goal of 6 pounds and came out on top. I've been away for a while, dealing with this new and different experience, and now I'm returning about 7 or so weeks into my pregnancy. My main challenges have been Lack of sleepheartburnlack of appetite(followed by) roaring appetiteI've been walking quite a bit, and plan to keep that up. I was just getting into strength training in earnest and so I plan to keep going with that as long as it still feels good. Since I'm overweight by so much that my BMI is a concern for my doctor, my goal is to not gain any more than 15 lbs throughout the course of this pregnancy. I have *no idea* how I'm going to manage that, but I'm going to try everything I know about traditional weight loss to accomplish it. My home scale before the pregnancy was 238. My home scale now reads 240. The doctor's scale had me at 243 at my first check up back on 7/21. Now that you know the back story, let's get down to the battle log, eh? Primary Objective: Have a Healthy Pregnancy Walk >20 Minutes, Daily Strength Train 3x/week Continue with Paleo Plan Secondary Objective: Stay Active with Nerd Fitness Check in to chat rooms at least once/week update this thread daily motivate 3+ NF members/week
  3. NOW! I've broken out my major goals into a few categories. I imagine I'll still play with the organization of it a bit but for now this is what my goals break down into. Health Reduce weight from 205 to 185 and maintain weight +/- 5lbs. (will likely convert this to BF% when I can take proper measurements) Transition to Paleo Commit to intermittent fasting: 12pm-8pm Cook week's food in advance each weekend Meditate each day Fitness Master body weight work out Find martial art that works with my knee challenges Stretch every day Get knee surgery Financial Pay off Car Loan Pay off Student Loans Build up 6 month expenses savings Buy a House Social Learn (ARG) Spanish Learn (BRA) Portuguese Take Tango lessons Take Samba lessons Host monthly dinner with family and friends Bucket List Shikoku Pilgrimage (88 Temples) Visit the Galapagos Islands Inca Trail Mount Kailash Pilgrimage More to come...
  4. Omg. I don't know if this goes in the Intro or here...so it's in both places. I'm terribly sorry ;( Hello everyone! A friend brought me here, after I went through a 16 pound weight gain (from I'm not sure what). I am hoping that this venture will help me to change my life and health for the better! I come from a past of negative habits (don't we all?) and thought patterns that resulted in an eating disorder through most of my teens and early 20's. After having a child, a lot were replaced with healthier options and I want to continue along that path, for me and my daughter. She deserves to see what it is like to have a healthy and loving relationship with your body and what it's like to love and appreciate yourself despite what society tells you. Anyways! It's time to get down to business and figure this out once and for all! I am 4'11" and weigh 151 pounds. I mostly eat rice, fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and fish. I stay away from wheat (gluten) and fatty meats. I rarely eat dairy as it doesn't always agree with me. Currently, I have one sweet day a week and on that day I am allowed to eat...well, sweets! Main Quest ~To lose 30 pounds. While I am a bit hesitant to put a number down to lose, it seems like a good place to start. I am slightly afraid of past negative habits coming back and me doing anything just to drop the number down on the scale. This time around, I want to focus on how my body looks and feels and how my clothes are fitting. Activities to get me to my Quest 1.) Eat a healthy breakfast everyday, no skipping! Drink 64 ounces of water and tea a day. 2.) Practice yoga for 45 minutes, four days a week. If I want to do other exercises, I can. I am not going to limit myself with just yoga. 3.) Go to sleep no later than 1am. No more staying up past 3am or so! Side Quest ~I am going to meditate for 15 minutes a day and focus on me, instead of focusing on everyone else and trying to meet their needs constantly. Life Quest My friend, that brought me here, used this as her life quest and it really is what I would love to have for myself. I want to love my body -now-, in the shape that it is in and I want to love my body later, when it is in the healthier version of me. I want to enjoy myself and accept myself and not have negative self talk or thoughts. I will continue to replace them with uplifting comments and will practice self-love. I no longer want to resent myself because of my body. I no longer want to be miserable, obsessed, or shame-ridden. So, instead of depriving myself, even from healthy foods because of the way I look, I want to take care of myself and my body. Ultimately, I will practice compassion. Motivation: I have Hoshimoto's disease which lead to hypothyroidism. There are lots of health complications associated with that if not treated correctly (such as heart disease, other autoimmune diseases, and high cholesterol). I need to get my weight down so that I don't encounter those problems. I want to live a long and healthy life. This was wordier than I had intended, so I hope I didn't bore! Good luck to me! and good luck to you!

  9. Hi all, first challenge as an assassin, definitely not the last, I picked rangers before based off blog descriptions, since I didn't have the assassin's build or into practicing parkour I chose rangers but having looked into the assassin's guild I know I belong here, I'm a strictly bodyweight guy, I workout using the pull up bar on my bedroom door, and a walker I bought for 10 dollars at the thrift store. I'm deeply inspired by the barstarzz guys and so far i'm down about 22lb strictly from following nerdfitness bodyweight workouts with some minor adjustments as of late. So with no further wait, here are my challenges for my 3rd challenge. main quest: lose weight look good aka FLAT STOMACH I plan to mainly follow the al kalvado, 5x5 intermediate workout. I can do exactly 5 pull ups at a time so I figure this will help me gain some reps and also help focus on my main source of insecurity, my core strength and my chest. my gf has been complaining as of late that i'm getting too small, i'm 6'2 or 6'3, currently around 220-218, i started at 240 with my first challenge, I originally wanted to get down to 200 but shes really against it lol, so I'm going for 210 and try to research recomps for the next challenge. goals to achieve this 1.myfitnesspal app everyday +2 wis no problem here might as well give me my +2 now 2.strictly bodyweight workouts at least twice a week +2 str +2 dex I normally say 3 times a week, but i want to give myself a day to work on just doing bar skills. 3. work on bar skills strictly at least once a week +3 str +1 dex working on back lever and l sit holds right now, i can do both tucked, and i can hold a hanging l sit for about 4-5 seconds. of course my goal is to get both with straight legs for at least a few seconds. sidequest life quest: pay off 100 buck on my cc +2 wis (failed to do 200 last time so i figure lets try again with a bit less) fitness side quest increase my pull up reps - right now i'm at 5 pull ups, about 6/7 chin ups. +1 str
  10. Ok, so here I am. New to the forums, but I need to stay committed. So I'm gonna update on here. Why? Well I think it'd be great to be held accountable. For breakfast, @ 3:30 AM I had an apple and a PB&J. I love those Peanut Butter. For Lunch, I had A McDouble, and a PB&J. I told you I loved them. (BTW, I'm keeping it honest here. I'm not gonna lie... Yeah I ate roasted duck, over rice pilaf with steamed broccoli, although I wish I could.) For Dinner, I'm working on some ground beef/salady type meal. Exercise, Beginner's Body Weight Circuit and 15 minute walk, just short of a mile.
  11. Main Quest: Lose 10 pounds within the remaining 5 weeks of the challenge. Run at least 3 times a week- and while you're at it, try to enjoy it like you used to. Attempt to squat the bar- and continue doing it, unless of course your legs snap in half... Try and complete at least two weeks of the Paleo Diet- maybe this is the diet for you?Life Side Quest: Stop procrastinating Just get what you need done done, have fun after that.Motivation: Make yourself AWESOME. I'm here to try something new with people whom I think might actually understand me. Being 5'8", female and 145 pounds, I find myself far from unhealthy, but this doesn't mean I can't be better. So I'm just going to stop being what I am now, and just be awesome instead
  12. Greetings! Newb here, though I've been hanging around the site a few months now. I tried to do a challenge a few months ago and found it all too overwhelming and quit before the end of the second week, so I like the new simplifications and hope it helps me make it through the six weeks! Main Quest: Survive the looming zombie apocalypse My main quest is to be healthy enough and in good enough shape to deal with anything, including a zombie apocalypse. My fitness level is abominable, I have crappy eating habits and I haven’t worked out consistently in years. This affects how I feel, both physically and mentally, and the truth is I feel like crap. I turn 40 in May and am tired of constantly roller coasting my way through new diets and fitness plans. While I do want to change my body and my weight, what I really want is to change my life to one that is built around good health and habits and to maintain those habits permanently, and not just for a few months. And if it increases the likelihood that I can outrun the zombie horde, even better! Mission Goals: Exercise – go to CrossFit at least three times a week (four would be awesome). Food – stick to a mostly Paleo/Whole Foods diet that avoids processed foods and sugar (two cheat days allowed during the six-week challenge, but only after the first two weeks). Clean Routine – because you've got to look good when running from zombies – I need to take better care of my body in general, so I want to create better cleanliness habits: Wash my face and brush my teeth at night at least 5 nights a weekStop picking at my face (I know, gross, but I developed acne at 38 years old! It is hell, but I need to leave my face alone and not make it worse)Floss at least twice a week (sad, but the truth is I don’t floss and I have to start somewhere) Side Quest: “And now, the famous author Melissa Smith…†My whole life I have dreamed of being a writer, but I have never done anything to make that dream a reality. Genug! Now is the time to start making dreams come true! I need to write at least two hours a week. It can be creative writing prompts, short stories, it can even be research for a story, as long as it is something that moves me towards my dream!
  13. Greetings, Rebels! I am Charging Pun, a relatively new rebel, and this is my first challenge. Main Quest To get fit, and stay there. Specific Goals 100 pushups (currently I'm at about 25-30) 5 pullups (currently I can pull myself up a couple of inches)Side Quest To declutter the basement at my house. Motivation I like living, and I plan to do it for a long time. I've been doing the Beginner Body Weight exercises, with an Angry Birds workout thrown in. I like how little time is consumed by the workout (and yet I'm sweating when it's over). Shout out to Steve, for having a fitness site that I can understand.
  14. Hi everyone, I was lurking into this site for quite a while now. Now I am ready to head off into realms of the gym and coordinated training. I am very excited and I am also looking forward to trying out this palaeo thing .. Wish me luck!
  15. Hey everyone! I'm horrible with these things, but I am in need of support. I have none AT ALL, and I know how important it is to have someone be there for you while you are working to lose weight. I have been trying off and on to lose weight for the past 3 years now. I have NOT been successful. I am currently at my highest weight... I am ashamed to share that number... I haven't told anyone and am scared to put it out there... But, it is time for a change. I currently weigh 288 lbs. I am close to hitting 300... It MORTIFIES ME. How could I let this happen to myself?? It has been a hard road. I am battling everyday with depression from the loss of my daughters and a terribly abusive relationship. I have gained 60 lbs in 3 years. It is out of control. If there is anyone out there who could just talk to me, help me along the way.... I don't know... It sounds pathetic but I think it is what I need.
  16. WELL HELLO, The Rebellion! I'm Jes, and I'm a receptionist & life coach by day, and an utter gadabout and theatre nerd by night. I attend far more theatre than is entirely reasonable (I have seen over 50 plays so far this year), and I am just recently trying my hand at writing my first play. I'm obsessed with bunnies to a ludicrous degree, and I can't eat enough avocados, like, ever. This is what I look like! Chubby bunny. I would like to accomplish the following: Reach my goal weight of 130 (I'm 5'9", and before people get all up in my "that's too skinny" grill, which I get a lot, that's what I weighed in college and I was in totally AWESOME shape in college) - I currently weigh 190, so that's 60 lbs. I need to drop.I want to be FIT. That means running and resistance.I want to look great in my clothes. Which I will when I'm at my goal weight. (I mean, I know what I'm doing right now, style-wise, but it would be nice to not have to THINK as hard about what's going to fit properly, you know?)I want to be proud of my body and what it can do (because right now I'm kind of ashamed of it and it's a good thing my fella lives on the other side of the continent because I don't want to see him like this). Also, my plan is to move to California (at least for the winter) at the end of October, and I'd kind of lik to be rocking a hot bod when I do. I'm going out for a visit at the end of August and I want to have seen some positive changes before then. In terms of what I want to do, fitness-wise: Three runs per week, using the Zombies, Run! app (I'm really, really good at suspension of disbelief, which is why I can't watch X Files at night)Three bodyweight workouts per week (I got set up with one by a personal trainer late last year. It's still magnetized to my fridge)I'm a vegan, but I'm a total carbivore, so the plan is to transition to doing the Eat To Live eating plan 90% of the time. (I did E2L last year and dropped weight in an awesome way and felt amazing, but I have been so lazy and it's been so hot that I can't be bothered to cook anything or even get good groceries)I've joined The Rebellion because I really need help being accountable. Hence the title. As a life coach, I hold people accountable to their goals every single day, but I really have a hard time helping myself. As my mother says, I have no sticktoitiveness. So anyway, hi! TL;DR: I'm fat and want to be NOT fat.
  17. Hello there. I am Doctor_T_Love and I am apparently *Looks at card* A human monk. Cool. Okay well lets see right now the most my work out consists of is using my (vast) body weight to train primarily. I also beat the living (Censored) out of my heavy bag and thats about it. I dont really eat healthy yet. So yeh. Uhhhhmmmmmmmm.... I dont know the rebellion is probaly the most user friendly fitness community I have found so far (as to why I joined it). I am not a licensed doctor either so that up there is actually a falsity. I really have only ever done my high school gym program as well as Judo and Iado. Though neither of the martial arts I have really stuck with. So yeh thats me. - Doctor_T_Love Doctor T Love, level 1 Human monk STR 2|DEX 4|STA 1|CON 1|WIS 4|CHA 3 "Wait, don't press that button? Awww sh...."
  18. In order to talk about now I have to start at the beginning (well not the beginning as that could get a bit graphic, but last April 2012). Last April I was a sophomore in college and really 'enjoying the college life' (read: binge drinking, junk food, and all around neglecting myself). After doing this for over a year and a half I ballooned up to 220lbs (the heaviest I'd ever been) at the time I was having too much 'fun' that I didn't really care. Then towards the end of April I had a reality check; my grades sucked, my health was declining, I looked like crap, and was destroying myself. I decided to take it easy for a little while and just worked and didn't really do anything to improve my health just stopped partying all the time. Then in August I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Beijing, China for six months and study Mandarin Chinese; I jumped on that ship the second the opportunity presented itself (the plane did leave two days after I was offered the opportunity, so didn't have much time to think about it). I said goodbye to my friends and family, got a ride to Dulles Airport, hopped on the plane, and threw myself into the unknown. When I got to Beijing the city was amazing, the food was spectacular, and the people were really nice (and understanding about my lack of communication ability). I started attending my classes and really struggled picking up Mandarin; I was also eating a lot of Chinese food (which is pretty healthy- NOTHING like the stuff we have here in the States but quantity+deliciousness+insanely cheap= recipe for disaster). After struggling a bit I decided I decided that my time in Beijing was going to be that one point in your life where you can definitively say "Yep thats when I changed." I came up with 3 goals (which happen to be very similar to the goals I'm setting this time too!) The main thing that was completely terrifying to me before was coming out of the closet (which I never even dreamt of doing in America- but hey I was 6,993 miles away from home, who could find out?). I also needed to study more and come back to the states and shock my friends and family with a new body and a new language. So Goal #1 was to come out of the closet and accept myself Goal #2 was to learn Mandarin Chinese Goal #3 was to lose weight I started studying constantly and eating really healthy. I also decided to tell people I was gay (which was very very difficult). I lost a good amount of weight and was flying high; but after two months I started reverting to old habits (not eating healthy and not studying as much as I needed to). Coming out also proved to be a double edged sword; I made tons and tons of new gay friends (which I had never had before EVER) but I also started going out to clubs and bars with my new found friends (something I wouldn't change even to this day, it just made it harder to stay on track). Fast forward to when I came back to the States, pretty much all the weight loss I initially had in China didn't last. I didn't want to come out of the closet here (I have no idea why, I was welcomed with open arms in China. I could speak Mandarin Chinese almost fluently. So Goal #1 Coming out of the closet- Passed/Failed Passed in China but didn't continue it here in the States Goal #2 Learn Mandarin Chinese- Passed Even better than I could've imagined Goal #3 Lose Weight- Failed- Managed to lose some but couldnt keep up with it So I essentially failed 2 of my 3 goals (I still have no regrets about this, it was my time to learn- away from family and friends about myself and about the world. Fast forward to the end of January when classes were starting at the College I go to (I bleed Maroon and Orange). I heard about this thing called a Paleo Diet and at first I was very skeptical and couldn't really get a grasp on this intriguing idea. That's when I discovered NerdFitness.com it was the first time where I had read an article (Nerd Fitness' Paleo Food Guide) and wasn't confused or felt like I was being babied- most nutrition articles are either for experts or aren't "juicy" enough for my liking but this had humor, sarcasm, hard facts, and was just perfect. Then on January 21st I decided it was time for me to make a change in my life. I was 230 lbs, Almost 6' tall, 43 inch waist, and just generally unhappy with my appearance. My 3 New Goals were Goal #1 Come out of the closet Goal #2 Work Hard in Class Goal #3 Reach a 34in waist and 190lbs (Nerd Fitness recommended quantifiable goals) I threw myself into a full on Paleo-Keto diet regime that I still follow to this day. I had amazing gains (well losses, but that sounds negative and who likes negative words?). I started researching supplements and such; which I actually take a lot of, not necessarily for any perceived benefit but I've found for myself that if I'm taking this pill before every meal I actually think about what I'm eating at every meal, it's a little reminder for myself to stay on track. I also started working really hard in all my classes and putting myself out there in situations that before would've made me uncomfortable (ie talking about gays or myself being gay). I read more and more on Nerd Fitness (still haven't been working out a lot- as NF says nutrition is 85% of any body composition change) and followed everything I read to "T" Status of My 3 "New" Goals Today Goal #1 Come out of the Closet Passed/Work in Progress Of course I can't magically have everyone I know, know that I'm gay (without coming out on Facebook which in my opinion is impersonal) but still working on it Goal #2 Work hard in classes- Passed I made Deans List and a 3.99 GPA for this prior semester (technically a 4.0 but some weird thing with credit hours makes this the official number), the highest in my entire College (not University) Goal #3 Reach a 34 in waist and weigh 190lbs Passed I currently have a 32in waist and weigh 180lbs Since I started reading Nerd Fitness and through my own hard work and dedication I Have lost 50lbs and 11inches off of my waist and this is just the beginning. I wish I knew about the challenges before when I was making my most amazing gains but I still have more goals that I want to accomplish. My goals for this challenge are: Life Level Up (Goal #1) Continue coming out of the closet and help others dealing with similar issues Life Level Up (Goal #2) Work Hard/Study in all my classes Health Goal (Goal #3) Reach a 29 or 30inch waist Health Goal (Goal #4) Do Weight Training at least 3x a week I definitely think the hardest goal on here is Goal #4 I've always had this fear or aversion of working out, but I have a good feeling this time. Wish my luck Nerd Fitness- Tomorrow is another Day Numero Uno for me.
  19. Okay, SO...the last challenge didn't go so well as towards the end of it I got pretty overwhelmed with stress due to some family stuff. This time around, if it happens again I'll continue with it and not just give up because the stress of everything around me. Also! I managed to get my boyfriend ( http://nerdfitnessrebellion.com/index.php?/topic/27313-sindrals-first-adventure ) to join in on the rebellion, though it took some bribing with pizza. SO YEAH, it might be a lot more fun and maybe easier if things do get stressful, just because I'll know he's doing this challenge along with me. Another reason I absolutely NEED to do well on this one is because I absolutely hate when I score low on something. When I'm determined I really beat myself up over something if I don't do as well as I'd hoped. The only thing I managed to do well for the last challenge before giving up was the no soda thing. I unfortunately had like maybe 2 cans that entire challenge, which even for me was too much and I felt horrible about it. Once was when I went to an Easter get together with my boyfriend and I ended up having a can because I didn't notice they had water. The second was when I had a migraine when I was visiting, and ended up having a can since I was told caffeine would help. ANYWAY, I'm rambling! ONTO THE CHALLENGE STUFFS! Goal 1: Eating around 1250-1500 calories a day, as well as having at least 1 vegetarian meal a week. (I'll also continue with cutting out soda, as I still had about 2 cans last challenge) (Con. +3) A: No slip ups B: One or two slip ups C: Four slip ups F: Five or more slip ups Goal 2: Run or walk at least 3 days out of the week for 20-30 minutes.

  20. Hello everyone! I am new to this forum, but I am going to try and get active within it (hopefully). I found Nerd Fitness when I was looking around the internet about parkour, and just about getting in shape. I am 19 years of age, standing at a height of 5'11" and wieghing at 135 lbs. I am a little under weight, but have always been. I find it very difficult for myself to get motivated to start working out, but I know I will eventually get around to getting a regular schedule of working out (Or so I tell myself). I hope joining the rebellion will help get me motivated to start getting me on the right track. Currently I am an Adventurer, looking to level up my life, then job advance to the Assassin. I am happy to be apart of this rebellion! I hope I don't let anyone down.. including myself. So the best of luck to everyone and myself!
