Achaedia Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hello~ I am 30 years old and about 177 lbs. I was at my lowest weight in the army 9 years ago, and I'd like to get back to the toughness I had during those times (42 pushups in 2 minutes! 16:10 2 mile time!). I started seriously trying to get fit and lose weight about 6 months ago, and I've lost 15 lbs, but I have some trouble with consistency. Some of my friends have had some success here and I'm hoping to as well. Luckily, I like RPGs, so I think I might be in the right place. I do have a few questions for anyone reading this: 1. Anyone else think "Received item: Car Key" or "Quest Completed: Buy Groceries" in their normal life? In a nerd forum I can't be the only one... right? RIGHT? 2. Anyone else played/playing Dragon Age: Inquisition?3. Poodles are the best dogs. I guess that one wasn't a question. 4. Remember American Gladiator? I loved that show. The women were so badass. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you! 3 Quote Level 8 Asura Warrior 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10] Link to comment

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you! 1. I think that a lot; I have a task app on my phone to remember the various errands I need to run and when I press 'complete' on each one, I kinda feel like I need some jingle or some musical acknowledgment to play once I do. Or when I frantically look for something in the grocery store, I wanna lift up the item I find and hear the little sound from Legend of Zelda. But alas. Stupid boring real life. 2. I am playing Dragon Age Inquisition. I have a friend who already finished it and loved it so I need to continue my game here over the weekend. 3. I MUST VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE MADAM! I BELIEVE THAT CORGI'S ARE THE BEST BREED:GAZE UPON THAT NOBLE MAGNIFICENCE! SURELY NO OTHER BREED CAN HOLD SUCH GRACE AND AWEINSPIRING STOICISM. 4. The women were badass on that show. Personally I have grown fond of female kickboxers and MMA fighters myself. So powerful, so strong, and so damn gorgeous. Not only that, but I feel like I can attain that kind of strong beauty, unlike other ideals currently put forth in magazines. I will be amazon. I will be the goddamn Wonder Woman Anywho!

I'm pretty sure you'll find plenty of likeminded, awesome people here! 1 Quote Race: Were-Jaguar | Class: CodeMONKey Level: 18 | STR: 46 | DEX: 41 | STA: 35 | CON: 51 | WIS: 57 | CHA: 47 Spoiler --- Challenges: CURRENT 18TH | 17TH | 16TH | 15TH | 14TH | 13TH | 12.5TH | 12TH | 11TH | 10TH | 9TH | 8TH | 7TH | 6TH | 5TH | 4TH | 3RD | 2ND | 1ST Accountbilbuddies: Artists unite for March/April 2017! --- "Everyone's the same height when you punch them hard enough" --- NF Character Profile | BATTLE LOG | Tumblr | DeviantArt | Warhammer 40k Shenanigans Link to comment

Achaedia Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm short. I'll never be a tall amazon either. But strong? I can do that.Strong is awesome So have you done a challenge before? I see that you're a monk. I am thinking about going that route at some point. No, but I have the money necessary to buy it. Just being lazy about the thing.I love the seasonal outfits, especially now that I have all of the regular healer outfits. I missed Summer and Fall though because I forgot to log on. You're welcome. Now I must look up this "Habit RPG" thing. You guys've got me curious now.It's basically a nerdy to-do list where you get gold and XP for completing dailies (some of mine include "shower", "eat breakfast", and "work out") and to-dos. You lose HP if you don't do dailies. You and your party can go on quests. I need a to do list and one that is disguised as a game works for me. 1 Quote Level 8 Asura Warrior 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10] Link to comment

I have not done kung fu nor parkour but I've always leaned towards the more 'brutal' than graceful or form based martial arts, thus my leaning towards Krav Maga.

I have not done kung fu nor parkour but I've always leaned towards the more 'brutal' than graceful or form based martial arts, thus my leaning towards Krav Maga. That is an awesome goal to have and I hope to do the same.Yeah I did Pai Lum kung fu for a year or so in high school, but recently a shao lin kung fu place opened up near my house so I'd like to try it. Krav Maga should definitely be effective though! 1 Quote Level 8 Asura Warrior 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10] Link to comment
