Hey Everyone!

[The Rainicornborn]

I don't plan to make a long winded or powerful entry here, just wanted to say hi and give a little bit of my history.

 

I've always been a bit chubby growing up, especially during middle school and high school. After high school I spent the next four years essentially doing nothing but playing World of Warcraft and snacking. Around this time back in 2011 I had a sudden (and somewhat depressing) realization that I wasn't living life I wanted, far from it. Since then I've gotten a job, worked for over a year, and returned to school as a full-time student. I'll be getting my GED this month and I'll have my associates this time next year! Working out was the first way I changed my life in the summer of 2011, I went from 300 to about 250 lbs. during that time. As I've made these other achievements my initial passion for getting healthy took a back seat. Since 2011 my weight has fluctuated, currently I'm about 260 and I know around 200 is a healthy weight for me (6'2" and stocky).

 

So here I am, procrastinating on a Spanish project and making my plunge official. I've been reading Nerd Fitness for a year or so, I made this account months ago but never did anything. I'm tired of floating around between healthy and obese. I want to join the Rebellion and get this show on the road.
