Adman Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hello everyone, My name is Adam and I am 26 years old. I discovered Nerd Fitness about 2 months ago when I found an article regarding finding time to work out when you have weird work hours. I started getting more out of shape and my diet started to spiral out of control so I decided to grab control of my life and start moving in the right direction again. Nerd fitness really made that helpful because it allowed me to challenge myself. My job depends on my body being in top shape and it could honestly be life and death some day. Thankfully I haven't had any close calls but I have been close enough to realize that at the end of the day I am going home and that is not an option. About a year ago I also met the girl of my dreams and am still with her to this day. We plan to have kids in the future and I want to be their role model and hero. So far Nerd Fitness has helped me step toward the direction of my dreams and although I have had my off-days I will continue to never give up. I hope to be an active member of the community here on the forums and get to know some of you! Quote Link to comment

Laghail Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Welcome Adam, you joined right in the middle of the February 4-week challenge, but don't be afraid to chime in with your own 2-week goals if you want to participate. So much of this forum is what you make it and people are insanely supportive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Level 38 [Raveling Bard] Link to comment

biochemcrazy Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi! I'm new too, and also from a (sometimes) Hoth-like place. We've been having a mostly mild winter here in Upstate NY, but some days have been really unpleasantly cold. I'm also planning on spawning in the next few years, and I'd love to be in so much better shape for that. My husband dropped 70+lbs last year, so he's ready to go, and I'm like, "Still fat over here..." I'm working on it though!

Mitchilich Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hey Adam. I too am from Hoth. The Desolation Planes north of Brightmirror road in the Whiterock Wastes. Mercer County in other words. Quote Link to comment
