Howdy thought I'd post this and see if there are any fellow rebels in my area. If you're in the area or are going to be let me know and maybe we can meetup, talk fitness, gaming, role playing or anything else. Thanks for reading hope to hear from you.

Hey, I just wanted to see if there was anyone else in Columbia, MO on here. Maybe we could go on a hike or something? Just checking!

Hey Missouri peeps! Hope everyone is aware of the 100 Missouri Miles campaign in our state. I submitted a group for review for members of the Rebellion. It hasn't been approved yet since I just sent it off but I'm pretty sure it will be. I'll post back here when it's active. Let me know if anyone else from here is interested in participating. 100 Missouri Miles

Hello Fellow Rebels, My name is Tom. I've been reading Nerd Fitness for several months now (since my wife heard Steve on the Smart Passive Income podcast). I'm a 27 year old chemist living in Missouri. I'm 5'9", 296lbs, 40% body fat. I started lifting free weights when I was 13-14, took some time off in college, but have been back at it for about a year. I've got a good base of strength, I've completed several 5k races, and three triathlons. Even with all the endurance training I never really lost any body fat, which is why I'm back to strength training and clean eating. I enjoy video games (mostly shooters, with the occasional RPG thrown in), Comic books (Green Lantern is probably my fav), sci-fi/fantasy novels (Just finished Wheel of Time, which I started reading more than half of my life ago), Star Wars, working out, and woodworking. Goals that I'm working towards: Full on Paleo Diet by May (One month stages: Feb - no dairy, March - no potatoes, April - no grains) Body fat in the mid-30% range by April Size 38 pants by July Complete Tough Mudder Kansas City in September (this is a scary goal for me, I want to blog my progress towards this to stay motivated for such a far away goal). I haven't had much support in my fitness goals since high school (other than my wife) so I'd like to be part of a community that can help keep me motivated and I can motivate in return. TLDR version: I'm a fat but active nerd that wants to lower his body fat percentage through a paleo diet and lifting heavy things and celebrate by running ten miles through a mud covered obstacle course.
