PenguinHatGirl Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not kidding, it's bloody cold up here =(. Hi! I'm Danielle, loggin in from near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Attached is a photo of me from August (with George Takei) (this IS NERDfitness, right? ) I've just heard about this through a friend who lives nearby. I've been wanting to get into shape fr a while now (to which everybody looks at me goes whaaat but you're already in shape look how small you are!) and yes I know, I'm skinny and small, but I'm not IN SHAPE. I want to tone up and get stronger mostly. And I will need help with my diet too. I'm not realy into the Paleo diet though (I just want my bagels guys). So hi! Nice to meet you all Quote Link to comment
nightbrother Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi and welcome penguin! I from Ottawa and yeah it is pretty cold a (gotta go to work outside later today). A good place to start is to start counting your daily calories. I recommend the Myfitnesspal app (if you have an iPhone,might be available for android, or you can use their online calorie counter). Its the one i use, you can even scan the barcode to give you instant nutrition value! Quote Lvl.0 Half-elf Jedi-initiate My first challenge My log Link to comment
PenguinHatGirl Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello nightbrother!I don't really worry about my calories so much as I just want to eat better. I'm not really worried about my weight, I think the exercise will be enough to tone me up, I just feel like I need to eat better, not necessarily less. Quote Link to comment

CommanderFrou Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Welcome! I'm in Montreal, freezing along with you Also, I totally hear you. When I started being more active, my main goal was to lose a bit of excess weight, but it very quickly became about way more than that. Feeling strong and in shape is awesome! And a lot of people don't get that - they think once you can squeeze yourself into a size whatever, your work is done. But for me, everytime I lift a little more or run a little longer, I feel like a super hero. I don't even know how much I weight now, to be honest. So go for it and have fun! What kind of activities are you planning on doing? Awesome picture btw. I saw George Takei's conference at Montreal Comiccon last year and he was such a great speaker.. so insightful and relevant. Highlight of my day Quote Commander Frou | Level 2 Ranger Wannabe STR 3 | DEX 1 | STA 1 | CON 3 | WIS 3 | CHA 3 Challenge #1 - Jan 6 2014Battle log Link to comment
