XSanguinus Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I've been reading the Nerd Fitness articles for a few weeks now. Figured it was time to stick my head out above ground.A little about me... I've never been in shape. Ever. As a kid I was short and underweight. As a teenager I grew to the moderate 5' 7" I am today, but I was still soft. In my 20s and 30s I was seriously overweight, topping out at 215 in October 2011. I was 35 years old, a husband and a father of two boys, and I was miserable. Sometime in May 2012 I decided to take charge of my health. I dropped the SAD like a bad habit and switched to a paleo-based diet plan. I started walking two miles a day with some sprinting thrown in. I started doing both bodyweight and free weights strength exercises. Now I'm down to 193. I've lost 4 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my chest, and my t-shirt size has gone from XL to L.I'm very happy with my progress, but I know I have a long way to go. The people on these forums look like a truly remarkable group and I can't wait to hear their input and suggestions. Quote Link to comment

XSanguinus Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'm leaning toward the Rangers class, but I may go with Warrior. I'm increasing my weight amounts this month, so I will probably make up my mind at the end of August. Quote Link to comment
