nbtags1989 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^ Yeah, I'm a Mario fan. Well, here's my introduction:Hello, my name is Nikki. *I'm waving at you right now*After 10 years of battling with high blood pressure and being overweight (and I'm in my early 20's. This was all happening before and during my teen years. In short, I was always a size 9,10, or 11. My prom dress was an 11 and the pants I wore in my senior pictures was also an 11.) in March 2011, I decided to begin my journey to a better and more improved me. I battled depression from not enjoying the new college I transferred to (where I gained quite a few pounds) and I took up walking, Pilates, Yoga, and all sorts of videos on Youtube to get into shape. However, In October 2011, I decided I wanted more than that. So, now 30 pounds lighter I started my 90 day journey of P90X, and I graduated the program in January 2012. While I did not get the washboard abs or Tony Horton body, I did get something else: strength. I am now a total of 40 pounds lighter and I am the go-to person for lifting heavy boxes, tables, etc. You name it. What I hope to accomplish is that I can maintain my weight, change my body composition, and start getting into more strength training, since that seems to be what I enjoy most. What I can bring to the table: Humor, Pep, and Mario references I'm excited that I found Nerd Fitness and I cannot wait to start my next part of my journey. Link to comment
