Hey, I'm Mike I love playing board games, I like to play paper and pen RPGs (currently playing D&D a lot), I enjoy being outside, I enjoy being with my family, I enjoy target shooting with my lever action Henry .22 rifle. I DONT enjoy being out of shape....and I've been thinking a lot lately about getting in shape. I'll be honest, I haven't been in shape for a while as long as I can remember.I have had times where I have been in better shape, and have lost weight and inches... but then it starts come back. I've kept a chunk of it off, but I never seem to reach my goal, and I fall down a lot. So, this is kind of scary for me. It is a goal I've had for a long time, and I have always struggled getting there. This time, I think I have found the place to help me succeed. I'll need help and support... I'll need to make changes in my mindset. So fellow nerds, are you up to helping me? THANK YOU! I joined a gym yesterday, and I'm going to be going a few times a week with my coworker. My wife helps me eat better. You will help encourage me and support me, and I will do the same for you Anyway, that is my story as to why I joined nerd fitness. Three quick things about me: I speak Mandarin Chinese (lived in Taiwan and China for about 5 years), I live in Southern Alberta, and I recently started working at a Bank. If you want to know more, ask away. Mike

Bonjour I'm a bit nervous and excited about posting, as ideally this is the start to something that could be an extraodinary part of my life/future. Currently I'm 165cm and 56kg~ and looking for a huge change in my life. I've always loved running and the outdoors- but being so inclined towards videogames, computer learnings, and other such indoor activities, paired with a sort of growing anxiousness towards strangers - it's stopped me from pursuing those activities. Because of that I've lost a lot of my athletic ability, and I've gained a bit of weight as well (having been 52kg previously). When I was a little kid, I used to be quite fat, and I remember how much it sucked - luckily when I went into my teens I changed naturally into average size. However the recent weight I've gained makes me scared that I could revert back into that stage of my life, which would not be preferrable. So I want to stop before I get too sucked in, and make myself better than I ever was! My main quest is to be able to run 10km, and so will be taking up long distance running 2x a week at first, and then progress from there. Human - 165cm 56kg. Desired class - Scout.
