Hello All

[veganindigo]

I finally decided to introduce myself. I've been lurking around for a week or so now. Hello, I'm a 20 y/o female. This site is pretty sweet. :)

welcome aboard... any perticulat goals?

[veganindigo]

i guess my only goals would be to get in better shape in the short term, and i halfheartedly want to breakdance in the long term.

Glad to have you here, veganindigo!

I hope you find the information here useful, and that you get involved in the discussions! You say you want to get in 'better shape' - what kind of 'shape' are you in now (strength, stamina, body size etc.)? This kind of information will help us help you even more!

Also, I've never seen anyone breakdance halfheartedly - I wonder what that looks like?!

[veganindigo]

i'm overweight. i started exercising recently and noticed a lot of changes in my energy level and general wellbeing, so i've been doing it more. i don't know if that explains anything more at all. i have more lower body strength than upper body. i can run for an hour.

veganindigo,

It might be a good idea to start a workout log in the 'Your Workout' forum, detailing what exercises you are doing and when. That way, we can help guide you through the process of becoming fitter and give you advice on your routines.

Don't be shy!

Also, what do you mean by overweight - that is, what is your height and current weight, and where do you want to get to weight wise?

[veganindigo]

i'm 5' 3", 150 lbs. i wanna get down to 135~.

[koltz]

are you vegan? you know many vegans who can't plan thier diet get overweight (and much worse on the inside , in terms of helth and fitness)

not that you can't be vegan , you just need to eat smarter
f1 might know alot about this subject

[veganindigo]
