EmJeko Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi there! I'm Emma, or EmJeko (as my online friends know me by.) I've been trying on and off to lose weight since I was around 13, I was always a slightly overweight child, having asthma, and being brought up as a nerd living off takeaways and junk food when I stayed with my dad every weekend. I managed to lose two stone in two months, and due to my age, I looked miraculously better than I had, however this soon came back to me when I decided to keep eating crap, and lost my focus on exercising after I left school. From the start of 2013, I decided this was the year I wanted to get in shape, I began to ease myself off the sodas and takeaways, now generally having one or two takeaways at most a month (a number I would like to cut-down even more!) I've lost 1 stone in the past month, and currently have around 24% body fat, which my ultimate goal is to cut down to 20%, for now focussing at 22/23% in the next month, through daily exercise, and healthier eating. (Switching to the Paleo diet.) While I plan to cut down my weight, I also plan to try and eventually become good at climbing or parkour, starting by gathering my balance first through yoga, as I have a massive phobia of falling. Of course I'm also a massive gamer, while I do yoga every day, I also maintain an online relationship with my boyfriend who lives in Scotland (while I live in Northern Ireland), and help (As a "SuperAdmin") to manage a large online community for the game "GMOD". In my spare time other than this, I was recently studying interactive media, and am going on to study Games Development this year. TL;DR Hi, I'm a gamer who enjoys yoga! Halfling, Druid.
