hungrylikewolfe Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hello Nerd Fitness Community!I am a long time follower, but this will be my first post. You are all splendid folks! I will be posting practically the same post under Meet-Ups. I couldn't decide the best fit. My name is Kathleen, and I am currently based out of Detroit. I grew up here, moved away for college, and accepted a job back in the area. Detroit's really got a bad reputation, it's not that bad, honestly, it is mainly the feeling of "been there, done that". I am looking for a new adventure and a new home. I am currently looking (semi-casually) in Tennessee, Chattanooga or Nashville, and the pacific Northwest, Seattle or Portland areas. This is a big leap for me, so I don't plan on this happening overnight, but I am pretty serious and need to start somewhere! Anywhoo, although I pride myself in my fierce independence, it would be really nice to find someone in the same boat. I have very little family that is very spread out, and most friends that have moved away or are still in Detroit and have reasons that keep them here.1. Is anyone else in Detroit looking for a new adventure elsewhere, too?2. Anyone else maybe not in Detroit, but looking at any of those areas?3. How 'bout anyone in those areas or that experienced a similar situation and have some pointers?! Of course, fitness is in there. I am looking at these areas for mountains, outdoors and places to explore (and less snow is very motivating--not a fan).I also have my first powerlifting meet at the end of October. I love all things fitness! We can keep each other motivated during the transition! I have a hunch I'll get a positive response from you lovely people. Happy Exploring!

LuckyStar813 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi Kathleen! I just found NF and noticed a new 6 week challenge starting, and I could not resist joining! I am in Oregon and my love for the outdoors is really an inspiration to get back in shape. I did a small waterfall hike this summer and it kicked my ass . I love neighborhood walks, bike riding, hiking and camping. But after working a desk job for so many years I am really overweight and out of shape. I've spent the last few months trying to figure out what the best eating and workout plan would be. AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH what a rabbit hole to fall down. I am now using MyFitnessPal and focusing on staying within a certain calorie count each day. Exercise is walking, dancing around my kitchen and strength training. Some motivators for me are my 11 year old son, wanting a better selection of clothing (aka not plus size) and planning a trip to Scotland in 3 years. Take care!

SweatyMetal&Sass Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hello! Your tag of adventure caught my eye - I too am on a new adventure cross country, and while I'm not headed in your direction, I would like to say "Adventure on, sista!" I really like both Nashville and Knoxville for the mountains and the people. Quote Work hard & be nice to people. Link to comment
