Silmarilliane Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Introduction: Hello, I am Silmarilliane and I am a nerd. I believe this started with a floppy disc of the DOS game Rogue that I played since I can remember (and seriously, the best game ever). General other nerdiness includes LOTR, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes and mediumly difficult board games - currently Arkham Horror. In 2011 I lost 50lb down to 11 stone, put a load of it back on in 2012 and have meandered around between 12-13 stone since. As I'm prone to medium length obsessions, I feel the "weight loss" obsession has passed me by, so am aiming to turn "size loss" into a new one (it's different, right?!) I live in London and have two cats, Anyanka and Rivia. Main Quest: To be less flabby in general and fit better into a UK size 12 (currently buy stretchy size 12!) Goals: 1) Do the Beginner Bodyweight Workout 3 times per week 2) Do the Interval training twice per week (I already go to Zumba once a week) 3) Reduce binge eating at the weekend Life Quest: To (acceptably!) dress as Seven of Nine for Halloween. Or just for fun. 4 Level 33 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 Link to comment

Hazard Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hello! I’m Hazard, an ambassador for the Assassin Guild. It looks like with the Beginner Bodyweight workout you may have goals similar to many in our guild work on, and we’d love to help you reach your goals! If you ever have any questions or need help with anything, I'll happily assist you. An easy way to get my attention is to use the quote button at the bottom right corner of any of my posts. I have the forum setting turned on to alert me when somebody quotes me using that button, so it's a quick easy way to let me know you're talking to me. You can also get in touch with me by posting on my own challenge topic or by using the forum private messenger system (the envelope button at the very top of the screen). Here is a link to more information about the Assassin guild.And here is a link to the Assassin phonebook with a list of various exercises/skills that guild members are working on for this challenge, as well as links to their challenge topics. There are numerous other people in the Assassin’s guild who you can also get help from. I recommend stopping by the Assassin's Den – a general chat thread in the guild forum – and introducing yourself. You can always ask questions there too. In any case, I’ll stop by from time to time to check in with you and offer support. Good luck! You haven't seen my Final Form I Stand With Gina Carano Link to comment
