BeAwesome Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hello everyone! My name is Amanda! I am from a big town in Rhode Island. I am currently 225 pounds, roughly 80 pounds overweight for my height. Between a neurological condition, going to college and working in a fast food restaurant I have made unhealthy decisions that have led me to where I am.My biggest struggles are making the right eating decisions and holding myself accountable. I am a chronic justifier, but no longer! Today is the second day since I have made the decision to make myself even more awesome. I am particular interested in the Paleo Diet (who doesn't want to be able to eat whenever they want?) and strenth training, so I must be a Ranger!After poking around on NerdFitness for a couple of days, I am ready to do whatever it takes to get comfortable in my own body. I joined the community because I need help holding myself accountable for the choices I make when eating and exercising. I am looking forward to this experience!

Kittymojo Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi Amanda, I have just started too and have around the same amount of weight to lose (though weight loss is not my specific quest I do hope it will be a byproduct). Are you planning to join in the challenge on Jan 6? Quote Race: DwarfClass: Adventurer (aspiring Ranger) Level: 0 Str: 0 Dex: 0 Sta:0 Con: 0 Wis: 0 Cha: 0 Link to comment

Mangostrike Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Definitely join the challenge on the 6th! I just discovered this site a week or so ago, only just started posting seriously tonight and am so ready for my first challenge. It took a couple of hours of poking around and reading different posts to start to understand what it's all about, thankfully there's still a week left to prep and get ready for it. http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/33328-challenge-instructions/ This post is where I got the best rundown on what it's about. I started by writing myself an email response to this post, it really helped to get me to clarify what exactly are my goals. 1 Quote MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

buffyfraz Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome, if you don't mind me asking would your neurological problem happen to be dysautonomia? I'm new here and it would be neat to find someone working with the same stuff I am. Quote Link to comment
