Jonathan R. Baker Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Greetings, Fellow Nerds. I am just another tall, overweight nerd trying to shed some pounds and get healthy. I am 6'6" and looking to drop about 80 pounds. I am always looking for creative ways to motivate myself, and discovered NerdFitness from a link on the http://artofmanliness.com blog. My nerdly pursuits include reading, computers, miniature painting & wargaming. I love the works of Tolkien & C.S. Lewis, et al. I am also a fan of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly and many others. I am still trying to figure out the lay of the land on this blog/forum, so patience is appreciated. I look forward to interacting with you all. Quote Respectfully, Jonathan R.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment
Alastar Eridani Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Welcome to the Rebellion! A pleasure to have you here, and I can relate to your weight loss goal (I'd LOVE to lose about 60 pounds!) Good luck!
