Nikki222 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well.. I may be a Dark Side spy though.. sorry Hey everyone, I stumbled upon this fantastic site a while back and back then I thought.. Oh I'll join later, as I want to start getting fit in a few months (not now of course) that was over a year ago I believe. Finally I'd had enough of using my weight for an excuse not to do something and now I have a huge goal. I am finishing up my degree and want to join the RCMP (yay Mountie!) I have the wit, intelligence, and determination to be a fantastic Police Officer... but the hurdle is my fitness level. As a veteran at beginning fitness journeys and falling off of them about 3-4 months later, I am desperate to make the right and healthy change so that I can apply in a year and have a better lifestyle. I am a 25 year old geek girl looking for a support group as my life support group can be very sabotaging when it comes to fitness. I hope to find some fellow geeks (nerd power!), looking to make a change with positive energy and words of encouragement and some sage advice, because I am going to need it!!! A little background work on me: Here's the scoop: I am 5'6'' and as of a couple of weeks ago (when I started my fitness plan) weight 235lbs (yuck!)the goal? I want to be 175lbs, so I have 1 year to lose 60lbs (totally do-able with the right commitment) I am determined not only to shed the weight and achieve my fitness goals, but I want to make it stick and have a healthy lifestyle that I can rely on for the rest of my life.
