Bio Thread for all Misc. Clubs
 

Hi all,

Marti and I are trying to make this general section more personalize for each of the clubs. So we have added this thread which can be used for those interested club members to post your bios. The thread is stickied, so it will be at the top of the page all the time. If you want your bio posted, please copy and paste this bio, or use one of your own. Post it as a "reply" and either Marti or I will move it to your club's section. Any new club can begin their own, but I've got them started for the current ones.

Once your bio is posted, you can make changes by PMing Marti or me, or by replying to this thread.


Fill in only the categories you feel comfortable sharing. :)

Shy Moment

Dawn

11/09/62

Ohio

Married have two children boy 20 and girl 17

Home maker

Cards, hook rugs, quilting, reading, watching anything with Michael Ironside

The " Rennie " plan. Watch my portion sizes

198/172

4 foot 11 inches give or take lol

120 or there abouts. I want to be happy with how I look. I want to be healthy. I want to be able to go to any store and buy clothes without worrying if they come in a big enough size.

Exercise is my hardest thing, I have just started adding a walking video to my daily routine the last couple of months.

This web site came as such a surprise to me. I had never heard of it. Was just browsing the net and came across it. I LOVE IT everyone is so supportive.

Wearing sexy underclothes and not caring when the hubby is looking at me are my major goals.

I love to make people laugh. I love to make people think. I am painfully shy off the net but here I can be who I am inside and how I am with very very clothes friends and family members.

Bikini Ready Bodies Club
 

Alright, since I really want to get my abs/bikini ready bodies thing going, maybe I should post in this thread?

Reserved for the Bikini Ready Bodies Club

Club: Six Pack Abs/Bikini Ready Bodies Club

Name: Aidyn

Age: 21

Birthday: August 18th

Occupation: My "day job" is doing temp writing and editing for the municipal system. I also design web sites and develop software on a freelance basis, I'm pursuing my certification as a personal trainer and nutritional consultant, and um... I'm an amateur fashion designer.

General location: Florida

Height: A little under 5'7" - 5'6 3/4" maybe?

How much weight are you trying to lose: I lost 40 pounds, which is what I set out to do. If I lose more weight, great, but if I don't, it's no big deal. Getting my percent body fat down is my biggest goal at the moment. I just want to see my abs and start modeling again!

What type program are you following: I counted calories and did intense cardio + weights to lose the weight. I'm still calorie counting and trying to eat 40% protein/35% carbs/25% fat, doing intense cardio (almost 2 hours on most days), light weight training 15 minutes a day, abs for 10 minutes, and heavy weight training every other days.

Why did you join this website: I needed to lose weight and could not find support anywhere in real life. I had people who also wanted to lose weight, but they all flaked out on me! :mad:

And now, I'd like some support for my vanity goals (aren't I just a support WHORE? :lol:) so I'm starting my own little club. I know there are others here who are focused on body sculpting, too, and that is what this club is all about.

What's your marital status: Partnered for 2.5 years :D

Any children and grandchildren: Nope

Tell us about your pets: I have a 5 pound black chihuahua named Nubi - it's short for Anubis, Egyptian god of war and protection. He's ADORABLE... but I'm also a little biased.

What are your hobbies and interests: I love the arts: acting, music (I've fronted bands, I write songs, and I play guitar, bass, and trumpet), modeling, scriptwriting, and having any kind of involvement with entertainment-related projects. Fitness has become a huge hobby and interest for me. And fashion... I've been told I have a good fashion sense (I have to agree in the sense that it's definitely unique and different without being off-the-wall) and I have some ideas/blueprints for some designs. I've made a few clothing items and gotten them displayed at amateur fashion shows. I'm currently trying to make some contacts to help develop my ideas.
