Ziggy the Wonderkid Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I joined about a month ago but a family emergency dragged me away from computers and everything. Now that things are back to normal-ish, I'm catching up on all of the getting started quests where I discovered this forum. So, I'm saying hello. I'm a lot older than most of you and the last 5 years have seen my fitness drop to near zero while my weight increased to being dangerously high. I'm here trying to reverse the trend. I love hiking, walking outdoors (treadmills bore me), biking, rock climbing when I'm not so heavy it injures my hands, and I also swim. I did a print triathlon several years ago and I would love to be in shape to do more by next summer. For this summer, I want to get back into hiking and enjoying the outdoors. I haven't chosen a guild yet, so I'm still just a Rebel. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and getting fit. 8 Quote Link to comment

N0AiR Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Welcome! I posted right after you so looks like we are neighbors! Good for you for coming back after the family shake up. Hope things are better and you can dig in. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment
Cynforgiven Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Glad you're back at it so soon. I joined nearly a year ago but have had that part of my life on hold til recently. As far as your age - a echo the statement "you'd be surprised". No matter what your age though, it's good to see you here Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm here trying to reverse the trend. I remember when I was at that point. After 15+ years of sitting in an office all day, I felt like I had lost all of my previous fitness and weight was getting extremely uncomfortable. Now 5 years on from that point, I am feeling better and stronger than I ever did when I was younger.
