LeeshaPearl Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hello, new friends!My name is Alecia. I'm a college student starting to get myself into shape. I gained a lot of weight over the past few months due to a nasty knee injury, and I wasn't in the best of shape before then. But my father, who is over sixty years-old and has lost forty+ pounds since New Years, has inspired me to get my butt in gear and do something about my health. So here I am! I honestly can't tell you how I found this site. A series of aimless browsing lead me here, and I've been hooked ever since! So I figured I might as well join the community. Nerds and Fitness...two things I want in my life at all times, in the same place?! How could I resist? Here are some random things: -I'm a film student with dreams of Hollywood. It's my life's goal to see my name somewhere in the credits of a major blockbuster film/ to work on a Joss Whedon film. The man is my idol.-I'm a natural redhead, and super proud of it!-My closest friends tend to dress up as superheroes for fun...Rather frequently. I've never joined them, but one of my longer term weight-loss goals is to confidently wear a Black Widow costume.-Another long term goal I have is to get into break-dancing. I've been obsessed for as long as I can remember, so I want to make my child-self proud. -Short term goal? Pull-ups. I just want to be able to do one.-I want to travel. Everywhere, anywhere, I don't care. I just know there's a really big world out there, and I've hardly seen any of it!Anyway, it's super nice to meet you all, and I can't wait to get to know you guys!

Zariana Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hello Alecia! I'm a new poster too. You have some amazing goals. I've been going to Dragon*Con for the last 5 years and I've always admired everyone who cosplays. I love taking photos of all the amazing costumes. I think once I lose some weight and get in better shape, I might be right there with you dressing up! Good luck with everything you're working on and be sure to keep us all updated.

SirEarl Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wait, you aren't a tiny little asian person? I am, for the most part. 5'10", which makes me tall(compared to the rest of my family), but I'm also only 137. Quote "You don't life for be sad, no?" Link to comment

You barely weigh more than me! I was just teasing you because you look asian in your avatar pic Quote STR 7.2 | DEX 3.5 | STA 5.8 | CON 8.4 | WIS 5.55 | CHA 5.5 Most Recent Challenge Link to comment
