sneakyDragon Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Well hello, there! I'm sneakyDragon. You can call me sneaky or sneaks. I am a twenty-three year old licensed massage therapist in the wonderful state of Louisiana. I also happen to be tremendously out of shape/overweight. I haven't taken my measurements yet, but my latest weighing was 260lbs.Several things have made me want to get into better shape; I want to fit my old clothes that I still love, I hate feeling like shit when I'm trying to find new clothes, and I miss being able to dance. No fancy dancing, though.The final straw was this past weekend, when I was at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I saw this awesome ride-thing which was basically a trampoline that bounced you higher than normal. The cost wasn't outrageous and it looked like fun! Then, I saw the weight limit- 200lbs... *headdesk*So, I talked to a friend of mine (who also helped me get to TRF), and she suggested I join up here. She's jtggodqos on here.I've already started and have a few goals. I feel fantastic so far, just a little sore. But it's a good soreness. ^.^IN ANY CASE! I look forward to meeting some cool people here. Quote Link to comment

sneakyDragon Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Haaa, stoppit, James!James helped me set three goals and I'm doing fine with them so far. Walk at least three miles twice a week (and I'll eventually increase that), get a bike and RIDE IT, and drink less sugary drinks. ^.^ Quote Link to comment
