in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! :flowerforyou:

I always feel so strange trying to talk about myself, but I'll do my best...

I'm Amber, 26, from Florida. My ideal day would include staying in with a good book & cup of tea on a rainy afternoon. I suppose I enjoy the escapism books & other fictional outlets provide. Some of my favourites are the Harry Potter series, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, Bates Motel, classic fairy tales, and anything to give me a good scare. I've also always been fascinated by science & like to collect various fossils and shark teeth.

Up until now I've avoided exercise due to a heart condition that causes fatigue and pain upon exertion, but with age I'm noticing I put on weight more easily and generally feel out of shape. My doctor told me it would be a good idea to start improving my diet and introduce small amounts of exercise into my routine & so here I am!!

I'd appreciate any kind of support or even if you'd just like to be friends & chat about random things that would be great. I look forward to getting to know you all!

    Lots of fellow interests! Are you at all a graphic novel person? If you love fairy tales and can give a chance to graphic novels, the Fables series is EXCELLENT. Adding you, and welcome!

    Hi! I'm new as well! :smile: I am also a Sherlockian, as well as a GoT, OUAT, Bates Motel, and HP fan! I love the original Grimm fairytales, though I admit to having a weakness for Disney. I also really like science- unfortunately I'm restricted to science articles as my aptitude for actually carrying out the subject appears to be 0.

    Hello and welcome to the forums, while exercise is good for overall health most of weight/gain loss is diet so introducing small amounts at a time should still be successful. If i had to put a ratio to it, 85% of weight loss is diet. I know of and have read several of what you listed with the GoT books being at the top of my favorites. Im sure you'll do great it just takes a bit of dedication!

    I'll second that, Fables is awesome!

    Welcome :) I also love Harry Potter, of course, and watch all the same tv shows...plus so much more, lol. Nice to see there are so many people here with similar awesome taste.

    Sorry for my delayed response, I was using the mobile app all day so I couldn't check the forum section. I'm completely blown away by how nice you all are!! And especially that I've found so many people already who love the same things I do. Thank you for making me feel so welcome here :blushing:

    To be honest I've never tried them before, but I'll definitely add it to my read list. Always like trying new things, thanks for suggesting it! :smile:
