Another addition to the community here!

Hi there! Amanda here! (though "Sienna" is just fine)

I've been overweight ever since I hit puberty, hovering around 180 lbs at my heaviest. I've "tried" to get in shape over the years but just wasn't willing to make the commitment necessary to achieve anything - but that's about to change.

I'm ready to kick ass and transform myself into the best me I can be, and I'm glad I have a community of fellow nerds trying to achieve the same.

I can't wait to begin our journey! Let's do our best!

Welcome to the Rebellion!!

 

There's a lot to take in - but take it slowly and you'll pick it up as you go.

 

First off, NOTHING is required.  Na da.  You can hang out, read, swap tips and questions and learn from the mentors and fellow nerds.  

 

If you want more accountability, I do recommend the 6-week challenges.  During these challenges, you pick a few goals to work on that will help you improve your life.  6 weeks is usually enough time to let you decide if the new activities are helpful and work for you .... or not. And that's long enough to establish new habits that you can turn into a healthier lifestyle.

 

The next challenge starts June 9th.  You'd start as a Level 1 Rebel (http://rebellion.ner...level-1-rebels/) .... which is where you LEARN about all of the stats, guilds, rpg character, and so on.  You still get to adopt what works for you, and you can ignore the rest.  Some very successful NF people never bother with classes or stat points or race or so on.  They just hang out in the guild that suits their goals best.

 

Even MOAR accountability?  We have accountability groups of 6 or so people who check up on each other frequently during a challenge.  Plus lots of other, optional fun.

 

Let us know how we can help you achieve your goals.  Post here ... or you can message me with the envelope icon at the upper right of the screen.

 

Good luck!!

Thank you so much for the welcome!

I'm slowly learning the extent of this website's capabilities and though, like you said, it's a lot to take in it just makes me more excited!

I'm planning on doing the 6 week challenge that starts on June 9th. I've already chosen my class and profession so I'm ready to go there. And I'll check those accountability groups you mentioned! They sound like something I'd like to try.

Thank you again for all your help!
