Greetings NFers!

Registered for this forum since October 2011 but I don't think I have posted anything since then. Pretty scary for me to enter a brand new territory, wanting to start somewhere new. I'm interested in starting a new journey in my life to better myself in knowledge, health, fitness, and many more.

So hi everyone! Hope you all don't bite! Be patience with me if I ask a lot of questions or just seem to be "lost"...figuring out where to start...

Brief bio of me - Have done shorei-ryu karate for a year and half, earned up to blue belt and left to pursue brazilian jiu jitsu and have recently earned my first white stripe on my white belt after 5 months. Before all this, I have been mostly inactive physically for years and years, thus have a huge weight gain that has disappointed me for long. I decided to push myself to start somewhere, I'm age 32. Now, I'm loving martial arts and am slowly starting to find other interests to supplement my fitness journey. I have a lot to go but day by day, I'm getting somewhere closer somehow.

I have not lost much weight since I started my martial arts training. I have tried Paleo in the past and have lost more than 30 pounds but that has been a long time ago, so I basically have forgotten how to get back on it.

Anyways, enough about me. Nervous yet excited to start somewhere here in Nerd Fitness, I immensely enjoy the informative articles around here and am seeking for support. Nice meeting you all!!

Greetings and Welcome! Don't be shy! Helping one another is what this is all about (and maybe some friendly competition to keep it interesting ;^)!!)
