A different approach this time


Recommended Posts

Hey!

 

My name's Jada. I'm a 21 year old female, who weighs around 350 (completely unsure, as I can't weigh myself on a scale). I'm about 6'2", so that puts me in the "ungodly tall" category.  I've always been "overweight", so in high school I decided to try sports to lose weight. Then I discovered weightlifting. I absolutely loved it, but I was told if I wanted to really lose weight, I needed to hit the treadmill. Problem was, walking/jogging made my knees and hips hurt, so I just gave up, and kept eating junk. A couple weeks I discovered Nerd Fitness and have been lurking ever since, but decided to post today. After reading Staci's story,  I've decided that I want to get back into powerlifting. I remember feeling my healthiest and best when my name would go on the records board for heaviest bench or deadlift. So instead of trying to lose weight, I want to be strong and healthy. No more scales, no more calorie counting or "weight loss shakes." Just eating clean and lifting heavy.

Welcome to the rebellion! Good for you realizing that healthy is more important than a number on the scale :)
