wow, roleplaying to lose weight?


Recommended Posts

Yes, I think I will!

Hi, you may call me Murra. I am an avid roleplayer on yahoo, or I was until two years ago when kid #3 blessed my family with his arrival. Since then I have been struggling with weight loss. Off and on again dieting had been ruining my fun and dragging me down in spirit. This past April I decided to try suppliments as a way of kick starting my new attempt at loosing weight. The only thing I got out of it was the jitters and a few ultra bad migraines.

What's a girl to do? I thought. Well, I did what I usually do when I am wits end about something. I researched. I took what I knew from my previous attempts and went a few steps further. I cut out processed foods, turned to a more natural diet, and I started walking A LOT. 22 lbs down in two months isn't bad, right?

Then came the road block, and a few small obsticles. I platued in June. I have been hovering around the same few pounds since school left out for my older children. I went back to the drawing board, and did some more research -- and that's how I came across NF.

I was completely floored. Its the kind of happy excited that makes you want to squeel like GIR. I couldn't pass up the idea of the place given my love of pretending I am a fictitous person in a galaxy far far away so I decided to just stop in, sign up and say "Hai there!"

Btw, sorry for the super long intro. I didn't want it to be so long, it just got out of my control. :-) thanks for reading!

Welcome, Murra!  Isn't the approach here awesome?  I had about the same reaction as you: "Role-playing to get in shape?  SIGN ME UP!"  22lbs in two months is amazing, and you're clearly not lacking in motivation.  I'm sure you're going to do great.  :strawberry:

 

Best of luck in your endeavors!

Welcome Murra.  I came upon NF in the same manner as you.  The more I looked around the more excited I got.  You've done great so far.  Looking forward to seeing you in the first challenge. 

 

Good Luck!

Hey guys! Thanks for the warm welcome! I can't wait to dig into my first challenge! Btw, how did you guys get the niffty tracking graph bars in your sigs?

 

when you go into settings > signature one of the buttons above the text box will look like a small blue bar, when you hover over it it will say "progress bar" and from there you enter the number and colour you want displayed.
