MagicBean Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 After lurking around for almost a week, I used my 20 seconds of courage to sign up! I'm a 23 years old gal, recently diagnosed with sacroiliitis, a pain in the ass (and lower back). It was my wake up call to really take care of myself. I came across Nerd Fitness when I googled "how to do a proper push up" and since then I was hooked. After years of not exercising, I face-planted and kissed the carpet - my attempt at push up did not end well (no surprise there). What else eh? Oh, I weigh 143lbs and stand at 5 feet (or 4'11"? meh). So yeah, I'm overweight. I have been eating real, unprocessed food most of the time. Portion control is my main problem. I just love rice so so much my day would feel incomplete without it. I don't really identify myself as a nerd but every time I stumble upon something that piques my curiosity, I'd spend hours and hours reading about it. I dabble in a lot of things, thanks to my short attention span (which also makes me forgetful when it comes to uninteresting stuff). I identify as a goldfish for obvious reason. I'm gonna need another 20 seconds of courage to submit this (._. ') -M P.S. English is not my first language (so tell me if it's weird or unnatural or wrong so I can learn something. Thank you). 7 Quote Link to comment
MaylaKae Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Welcome! Nerds of all kinds and intensity are welcome here.

MagicBean Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thank you, @MaylaKae! I did, once. And my back hurt pretty badly. For now I have to force myself to take it slow and focus on my back-strengthening exercises and wait for the green light from my doctor. I walk almost every morning now and I'm enjoying it Hahahaha! Thanks @Red1263 . So you're a goldfish too? 2 Quote Link to comment
Red1263 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 @Red1263 . So you're a goldfish too? Oh, my dear, I was a goldfish before we could identify as a goldfish! It's great hearing things over and over again, it's not so great when people are telling you that you're repeating yourself.

Red1263 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Ah, the feeling we know so well! :1 But for the most part, I tell people it helps me process things faster, because I have less things to think about.
