Biology nerd is too large!

[Quercus]

Hi everyone!


I'm a biologist that works outdoors most days, but still manages to be really overweight. I've been over 300 pounds with two brief exceptions since I was 15 and I'm 37 now.

I'm 6' 3" and I like to lift so it's not all flab, but way too much of it is. I have a good idea of what I need to do so I'm here primarily for accountability and I hope that I can have success that may serve to help others in the future as my way to give back for the help I hope to receive.

I'm a self-described hickster which is a mix of hipster and hick. I spent a good chunk of my life in Seattle and I miss it dearly. I'm in Texas now and I love the privacy and connection to nature that living in the country affords, but I suffer from the lack of good live music, culture, and foods that Seattle was for me.

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Quercus is the genus for oaks.

Welcome to the forum. Start yourself a Diary to get feedback (and accountability) of your daily foods and activity.

Thanks for the advice! I already have. Is it allowed to post my diary link here?

 

[allcdnboy1]

as long as it's to our forum or not a competing link to another site. I would recommend putting it in your signature.

^That's my diary. I'm not allowed to make a signature. Newb thing?

Jen I am an odd picture. Think of eating tofu while wearing camo or an outfit including an infinity scarf and a 44 Mag. Both are actual occurrences in the life of Quercus.

An infinity scarf and a gun...? The life of Quercus is definitely interesting...lol! See ya around!
