Tom Kenobi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Welcome to the Rebellion! Make sure to keep doing a scary thing every day! Here's one you can do: join a guild that fits your fitness goals and then post your workout plan and goals. Then keep updating and also talk to other guild members so they can help you achieve your goals. They will be priceless in their assistance! That's a promise. Best of luck to you!

Morrigainz Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've always loved being the tough girl too...I worked at Target for a while in high school. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to put a 16-year-old girl on the truck unloading team.... but it was awesome. I milked it for all it was worth! I've always had an independent streak and so I really want to be self-sufficient. My husband keeps saying I'm going to get bulky and crazy like those female bodybuilders....I have yet to convince him otherwise, but...he's stuck with me now! Haha! Quote Level ?

Horsedog Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thank you Horsedog!! I'm glad I'm not alone in never really joining forums. Most places have some pretty snarky people mixed in with good people, but the snarks don't make joining worthwhile. With all my lurking, this place just feels... different. Oh!! And your dog... I know it's just the light being reflected, but the two different colors remind me of David Bowie lol!! Very neat! Is it male or female? Name? I'm not great at dog breeds, but it looks part Labrador.Ya, his eyes are crazy. When I got him from the pound, they said he had ruptured blood vessels in one eye (presumably from a choke collar ) and now it glows red while the other one glows greeny-blue...looks pretty freakin' awesome at night Anyway, his name is George. The pound listed him as part shepherd-part chow chow. Not sure about the chow part, but I can definitely see the shepherd, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there's some lab in there...or maybe even great dane (he's got a monster noggin )I definitely agree with you about the forums. In other places I've lurked, there's always been some trolls/asshats who, I dunno, just kind of make it not worth it. I guess there are jerks everywhere...but everyone here has been super-friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable! Also, the nerd-friendliness/RPG motif totally sucked me in lol!So...seeing as how this is a fitness forum...have you given any thought to specific goals you're looking to hit? The challenges that MirGSS linked to above are fun (RPG-styles...love it!), and a great way to keep motivated! Quote What you do, and what you don't do, matters. Link to comment
Hammlin Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Welcome to the rebellion! It's good to be able to say that you don't have all the info/know what to do, and to be willing enough to do something about it!

Moochini Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 MirGSS, awwww!! You should show him Spezzy's pic!! She is certainly not bulky! And yes! Being a tough, independent chick is awesome! My goal is right inline with yours - self-sufficiency! Awwww! :'( Horsedog!! That is sad! Poor George! But at least he has you now! I imagine he is very grateful. And yes! Now that you say it, I can see the shepherd (every time I spell that word now I want to spell it Shepard... Mass Effect!). His eyes caught my eye because the only animal that I can think of that has red glow is Siamese cats. The RPG-ness got to me too, lol! And yup, I have given lots of thought to what my goals are. I'm going to mosey on over to the Adventurer guild. Thank you Hammlin! Lol, I can all too easily admit when I don't know and need help. The hard part is asking for help. Quote Link to comment
Hermione Gainser Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Welcome!! Definitely join us on a challenge! It's so much fun (seriously, I don't think I've missed one since I joined... whaaaaaaaaat?) Adventurer is always a good starting place. The adventurer Mod is a member of our Warrior guild this time around (and has been before) so she's definitely got a lot of great info and resources. Feel free to come by the Warriors' place and ask for input and ideas. There are a lot of great starter lifting programs and a lot of folks have done them and much more.

caponerd48 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Nooo! Missed an opportunity to recruit for the monks... anyway, welcome aboard Moochini! I agree with what you and some of these other folks are saying, this is the only online community I have ever participated in where I did not already know most of the people in real life (as a matter of fact, I've never met any of these people!) NF has a great vibe and everyone I have come across has been nothing but positive and helpful. Good luck on your fitness adventures!

Hermione Gainser Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you Laura! I will certainly come 'round those parts to ask some questions! Especially about squats lol! By the way... how much does a Wookie weigh? And can you deadlift one yet? Oh squats.. they are my nemesis! Well, according to wookieepedia they are 125kg (for a male) 100kg (female). But, around here some of us (not me hehe) rounded UP to a nice even 300lbs. and I've been so set on the fact that I wanted to deadlift a male wookiee I didn't even think about the ladies.... so, technically, yes.. yes I have My current 1RM is 250, working weights 230. I'm all kinds of excited now! Thanks for asking!!
