Trying again...for the first time!

[Highpockets2013]

Hi everyone,

 

I've tried, and somewhat succeeded, in an earlier weight loss/fitness journey, but sputtered out in August due to (insert excuses which sound legit in my head but not so much here). I've poked around this site for a bit based on a friend's recommendation - I am a huge comic and video game fan (and getting back into RPGs), but definitely need a kick in the backside to get motivated again. I'm really one of those folks who've just walked into a room and is trying to figure out what to do next.

I need to formulate a plan for diet and exercise, prioritize a bit, gain some knowledge about supplements and such. I figure I can take all the particulars into specifics threads, so I'll just say Hi again, and hope that I can find some motivation this time around!

Hi! I'm in the same boat as you. My excuses for not succeeding on prior adventures don't hold water in the light. I usually make 15 changes at once and become overwhelmed. The concept here at nerd fitness.com fits!

Good luck in your journey.

Welcome to the rebellion, High Pockets!

 

Motivation can be tricky, but the key is to take it slow. Start by changing one or two things, do those things once or twice a week. As you get more comfortable, you can start to add more things/do things more often.

 

Good luck and keep us posted!

I think you and I are in the exact same boat.

Did awesomely in the past.

Excuses and life happened and now in a phycial place I don't like.

Trying to turn it all around again!

 

Good luck!

Glad you are starting again. No time like today to start fresh and change your life. No excuses! It's worth the trouble. One step at a time, if you fall just get back up and keep going!
