Cephalopod_Dreams Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hello all. I found Nerd Fitness and it's got me really excited to step up my fitness journey. I'm a natural hobbit; short and round and not very strong, but I'm aiming to be a combination Warrior / Monk.Two years ago I joined a local karate group and loved it. I lost 25% of my body weight in a year through a combination of 6 hours a week training and a very restricted diet. At my lowest weight I was 7 stone and a size 8 and while I thought I looked ok my friends told me I looked ill and I felt weak and tired all the time. Unfortunately when I tried to put weight back on I ended up falling back into old eating habits and for various reasons slacked off on karate.I'm now aiming to get fit in a healthy way this time so I can go for my black belt.I also want go get stronger. I love the feeling if being strong, he confidence it gives me. Also on a practical level I ride 700cc motorbike that weighs 180kg and I want to get stronger so that A) if i drop it I can pick it up and I can move it around more easily.So that's me. I'm excited to get started.

hungrylikewolfe Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wow, black belt, what an awesome goal! I'm jealous. I'm only 4' 11" so I feel like karate might help me look like a boss. Quote Link to comment

I look forward to seeing you achieve your goals. Thanks Every bit of encouragement helps, this isn't the first time i've tried to get fit. Sorry if it's a newb question, but how do you get those progress bars in your signature? Wow, black belt, what an awesome goal! I'm jealous. I'm only 4' 11" so I feel like karate might help me look like a boss. That's the plan! Technically I'm half-way there (purple belt already), but this is the harder half.
