Labretkitty Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why hello everyone! I'm Labretkitty (or Kitty for short) and I'm a 22 year old university student from London. My first foray into NF was Staci's amazing story when my boyfriend sent me a link to it. Impressed, I continued reading, appreciated all the Star Wars references, and here we are. I'm not overweight by any means, I'm just carrying a bit extra in the wrong places. I've been packing a gym membership since around February, and I have some experience with lifting weights, I can currently squat 20kg, deadlift 20kg, and bench 16kg! But now it's summer, I'm home with my parents, and I have no gym. Usually I tend to take up running to maintain during summer, but I HATE running. I'm not doing that this year. Instead, I'm going to do a month long body weight exercise challenge! Diet wise, we're generally pretty good. Even though I had to give up my gym membership at the start of June, (and have done NO exercise since...) I have actually maintained my current size, so I guess my diet isn't that bad. Sure it could do with a little bit of cleaning up, but that's happening in August, one step at a time. So, here are my goals for my July challenge:1. Complete the NF beginner's body weight workout at least 3 times a week. 2. Keep a full log of each workout, how many reps and sets I achieve, etc. 3. Keep maintaining my current eating habits, but avoid processed junk as much as possible. 4. Check in at NF HQ at least once a week with my achievements and progress. I took my weight, measurements and a photograph today, and I will not take any more until after this month is up, as it will drive me crazy trying to compare tiny minimal changes. For reference, here's my starting stats: Height: 5ft, 5"Weight: 143lbs Body fat percentage: 30% Bust: 37"Waist: 30" Hips: 35"Abdomen: 35" Thighs: 22"Well NF, you are my audience now. I will check in my progress at least once a week as I stated above, I guess you could consider this my first check in! Very excited, hopefully chat to you all soon! Link to comment
bigm141414 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hey hey! Welcome to the boards! Ah the summer doll drums. I remember those well. It is a tough time being at home without school to occupy you. Best of luck with the body weight challenge! Have you thought about joining our 6 week challenge (currently only one week in)? It's a great way to kick off your accountability with other members of the boards. If not, then rock on with your body weight routine. There is a TON of info here on the boards about body weight training. Best place to look would be the Assasins Den as they are the experts on such things "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
