Wind459 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hello all , I'm a gamer from the Chicago-land area . I had a lot of life changing events happen at the start of this year ,to say the least it sucked. At this point I decided that I can either sink or swim. I have a very viking thought process , so I decided to take on this massive creature called my life . I have a ton of life goals that I want to finish , but none of them can be done by an overweight person. I started to focus on that as , currently , it is my biggest obstacle. I am happy to say that I have dropped more than a 100 lbs . I was close to 400 lbs around January and now I am down to 290 . I did this by changing my diet to more of a veggie based one , I eat spinach and high fiber foods with most of my meals . I try to work out at least 3 times a week , but if I can push myself I'll go to six . I'm not perfect and do sneak and cheat a little on the weekends , but as long as you don't go overboard , it helps you keep this pace up . I keep fine tuning my diet best I can to be a good all around balance. I found this site a month or two back . I have found it extremely helpful , as I can only do 1 full push up and no pull ups quite yet . I'm starting to slow down on my weight-loss and that is why I am joining the forums .To find people in my area to talk to and get re-energizer . I've done this all by myself ( no trainers or any friends coming to work out with me ) , I would like to start getting involved with people that want to stay fit , but are geeks and play games as well . Even Snake , had to have backup , so that sort of what I'm here for . Looking to hang out and get motto . I'm looking to drop almost another 100 lbs , as well as do at least 50 pull-ups to be happy and to start my attempt at my life goal . PS : I need to drop this in another year so , wish me luck !

Titanium Bulwark Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 **Command confirmed, requisitioning supply reroute.**Welcome! Good luck with your goals; I've found a lot of help doing the 6 week challenges. Nothing keeps you accountable like having to post about your workouts each week!I started here doing the bodyweight workouts from NF. It's a great way to get your body into the thought process of working out on a set schedule (especially since you can do most of those exercises anywhere, no excuses!).**Reinforcements en route, good hunting** [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Titanium Bulwark Level 4 Goliath Warrior STR: 14.5 DEX: 7 STA: 12.5 CON: 8 WIS: 9.5 CHA: 5 Out of 100 men in battle, 10 shouldn't even be there, 80 are just targets, 9 are real fighters, Ah, but the one, One of them is the WARRIOR, And he will bring the others back. - Hericletus 500 BC Isaiah 40:31 "..but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

Wind459 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks guys , yeah I've been reading up on these challenges . I can't wait to try them out . Hiraedd , I'm trying to join the service , the jobs I'm trying to get into will be locked out for me once I hit 28. I want to get into good enough shape to do a Spartan Race before I hit 27 , So I can attempt to enlist and be in the pipeline before 28. I'm looking forward to being a useful teammate for someone on here ! STR: 2 | DEX: 2 | CON: 3 | STA: 3| WIS: 3 | CHA: 2 Level 1 ( Human ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
