Gotta start somewhere, might as well be here.

I, like so many others before, have finally decided to join this troop. I'm here fro the obvious reason, to get in shape and better my life.

The fun, fast facts about me:

- I'm 24 and stand at 5'9"ish. Currently, 261 lbs, but gravity's such downer so I don't pay much attention to it.

- I used to be pretty fit, and aren't now.

- I've already well on my well, having lost some fat(lost 25 lbs) and gained some muscle (gained some back but pants aren't tighter).

- I struggle with an vertigo/balance problem that hinders my life at every hour and every turn (hence my call sign).

- And I'm a huge nerd (movies, certain video games, and comic books - again, hence my call sign).

Goals:

- As Mr. Lee says, "Be like water." Be ready for anything. This means getting fit, being able to lift big heavy things and run a decent distance at a decent pace and be able to adapt to changing conditions when you have to.

- I have certain fitness benchmarks in mind, but for now I'll settle for being able to complete my beginner body weight workout easily and consistently.

That's it for now, see you in the funny pages.

Thanks, Hellcat. With a handle like that I'd say your qualified to make that call.
