hit_girl3 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi Everyone! I'm pretty stoked to be joining the rebellion. I have never posted in forums online except for class so this will be a new experience. A little bit about me: I'm 22 and working on my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in Washington. As a child I had always been physically active and loved sports. However, when I started college, I no longer had a place to play sports because I wasn't good enough to be on the college team and I didn't have very many friends who would have willingly done intramural sports with me. I gained 40 pounds my freshman year of college and have been battling since to get it off. I am currently 195 (only 5'2"). Every time I have started something, I have gotten frustrated because I don't see results as quickly as I want them too. Plus, I fall into the category of people who say they don't have time.Anyways, I decided that maybe becoming a part of an online community would help me stay with it this time. Plus I get to geek out along the way with amazing people based on the threads I have already read. I can't wait to have help and help everyone here in making fitness fun again. Quote Link to comment

CestLaVie Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi hit_girl3!! You are the same age as me AND also a full time student, from what I understand! Feel free to add me. I took time off between high school and uni and I am now doing Arts/Law as my first degrees (as is allowed in Australia). I'd love to have someone to talk to Cheers,Kate Quote My First Challenge - Slaying the Phantom Link to comment

hawgsquatch Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have often used the time excuse as well. Then I found this site and found I can get a muscle building workout done in thirty minutes a day. I like your major. People who get mental health help often avoid becoming part of the system and we desperately need that. Welcome, you will find some extraordinarily generous people here.

hit_girl3 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thank you both. I already feel more supported in my journey in the couple days I've been about of NF than I have in a couple years. Quote Link to comment
