nonLethal Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 G'day everyone,Short intro here (as I'm at work!);My name is Sean, I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I'm 28.5 years old. Married (but been separated for 5 months, divorce will occur in ~8 months) and working full-time in IT Support.I was always a skinny kid (I'm talking skeletal) while I was growing up. Then, after high-school when I got a desk job, I put on about 15-20kgs in a very short amount of time. I know WHY it happened (exchanged exercise and sports for a desk job) so I can't really complain about it.Now, 5 months ago I went through a rough separation and have since sold my house, lost many of my close friends and started a new job. I heard that after divorce, men tend to put on weight and I think I was headed in this direction. BUT NO MORE! I am planning on taking charge of my life again and 'leveling up' my life in every way (which is awesome, because I'm a MASSIVE nerd, as are my remaining friends).I want to lose weight, get back in shape and tone up. I want to learn at LEAST one more language, get back into playing guitar and enjoy life. I stumbled across Nerd Fitness about a week ago and I have been DEVOURING the posts on the blog.So, as a late New Years Resolution, I made the bold claim to my friends that I am going to get down to, and maintain, a body fat percentage under 10%... YIKES! But I won't give up on this like I have in the past, I'm sticking to it. I'm not getting any younger and it's time to seize life by the seat of the pants!!So, um, yeah. That's me. I'm planning on purchasing at least the Rebel Strength Guide and I'll be keeping up to date with the blog and the forums.

nonLethal Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Oops, I should add: I was doing the Four Hour Body diet about a year ago for several weeks. I have lost about 5-10kgs of what I put on originally, but I want MORE!!

nonLethal Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I played basketball when I was younger, but it was mostly more 'active' things like rollerblading and the like.
