AnnleaArtsy Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hey everyone. I'm Melissa and I am 26 years old. Ever since I found Nerd Fitness I have been obsessed. This website basically is all of my fitness beliefs all in one area. And it feels pretty welcoming compared to most fitness websites. I am what people affectionately call "skinny fat" where I seem to gain no weight from eating an entire pan of brownies in less then 2 days and I stay thin...yet I have no muscle tone. Shocking right? Hardly. Though I am proud to say that after changing my diet I have seen drastic changes in my arms. I just need to start seeing that change in other areas. Either way that eating whole pans of whatever shit needs to stop. So overall my ultimate fitness goal is to change my diet and lifestyle. For example instead of watching tv with my kids because I'm bored we go outside and play tag. And I do want to incorporate more workouts. I have very supportive people in my life. I have my husband who is with me on the same level, one of my best friends is a trainer, another best friend of mine is just a health nut and in great shape. Then there are my mother and sister in law who are just passionate about keeping processed foods out of their system. They are all excited and very helpful. BUT I want to add more people to it because for the exception of my husband every one else I don't really see on a weekly basis considering they are kind of far away. So now I have this place but I would really like to find some fitness groups in the CT area. Google is usually my friend but not this time! So if you have any tips in finding some groups it would be cool if I can get some help. This place seems fun so I am excited! Link to comment

So if by "add more people" you meant hundreds then you're in luck! Level 5 Orc Citizen Soldier STR 7.5|DEX 9.5|STA 11|CON 12|WIS 20.5|CHA 8.5 Old Challenges 15/4 3/6 7/25 "Do it now." Link to comment
allirep Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 welcome aboard! have you found a guild yet? that is a great way to find folks with similar fitness routines and goals. i am not exactly skinny fat more like average fat - but i totally understand where you are coming from. we suffer from that first world/suburban problem where we know we are out of shape but no one wants to hear you talk about diet and exercise b/c you look like you are healthy. my co-workers are obese. they don't want to hear about my fitness routines and no one gets excited with me when i make an awesome new meal that is awesome, healthy and covered in bacon. welcome to NF - you can safely brag about whatever diet or exercise feat you achieve. and we will all be excited with you. i promise.

Does that mean Adventurer, Assassin, etc/ if so I am in the adventurer group Link to comment

I am a fellow Adventurer as well, at least till I find another Guild that works better for my fitness goals. Granted I need to actually define those a bit...

allirep Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 i spent some time in the Adventurers Guild myself. It is a great starting point! Ohh ok so I am slowly getting this down!

They just sound so bad ass and I picture Jackie Chan with all of those crazy wall maneuvers and jumps he did. YES I want to be ninja stealthy too. but seeing as how i never even learned to do a cartwheel - i'm working on the absolute basics. maybe i'll be ninja when i'm 60???

terrormortus Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Mine is to be a Ranger personally. I have to admit though the idea of a Dwarven Ranger makes me laugh a little bit, especially after reading Order of the Stick. i spent some time in the Adventurers Guild myself. It is a great starting point! YES I want to be ninja stealthy too. but seeing as how i never even learned to do a cartwheel - i'm working on the absolute basics. maybe i'll be ninja when i'm 60???That would be awesome to be a 60 year old ninja. All nice and dotting one minute then *BAM* shurikan. lol Level 5 Orc Citizen Soldier STR 7.5|DEX 9.5|STA 11|CON 12|WIS 20.5|CHA 8.5 Old Challenges 15/4 3/6 7/25 "Do it now." Link to comment
