D0rk Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello everyone! I'm Amanda and I'm new to the Nerd Fitness community. I've been a big fan of this site for quite a while. Figured it was time to join up and start leveling up, as I've heard it said. I've lived the typical American lifestyle of eating a lot of junk and not being active. As time has gone on, I've become more and more unhappy with this and I'm ready to turn things around. I admit, I'm impatient and want change now, right now! After a number of failed attempts at dieting and exercising in the past, I've seen that's not how it works. So, I'm starting back slow. Cleaning up my eating little bit by little bit, starting back at the bench with nothing but the bar and taking it from there. I'm looking forward to being a part of these boards! I know I'll be encouraged and inspired by all of you and I hope to be able to do the same in return. 2 Quote A couple things to know about me; I'm a dork and I like people. "Lord of the Rings or Star Wars?" There's room enough in this town for the two of them. Link to comment

Barfly Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi Amanda,I'm more of a nerd, but I get called a dork. A lot. Not crazy about people en masse, however. 1 Quote The past is only smoke in a dream. Lvl 6 Ranger Berzerker STR 9 DEX 4 STA 9 CON 8 WIS 2 CHA 8 Barfly ain't even tryin'... Link to comment
