Hello!

I'm a geeky gamer girl who's managed to stumble and fumble on this journey more times than I can count, but still grinding it out and refusing to give up ;)

About me:

Height 5'4", CW 205lbs, GW 120-130lbs, planning to cook again (I'm a durned good cook and it's easier to make things healthy that way. Also... I'm a hobbit LOL), start the C25K program and if that doesn't kill me I'll pick up some Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred as well.

I've got a wide and eclectic taste in all things geeky: from zombie/post-apocalypse anything (Walking Dead show, Mad Max movies, Resident Evil, Fallout) to fantasy (Game of Thrones, Skyrim, Zelda, Final Fantasy) to sci-fi (Firefly! Mass Effect, Dune series) to comics (BATMAN! Justice League, X-Men).

If it's remotely nerdy or geeky I'm probably into it or want to be LOL

Hoping to find some more MFP-active friends for mutual geekiness, support and inspiration (You guys have been my biggest heroes so far!). You can never have too much in my opinion and goodness knows some days it takes an army to pick yourself up again hehe

So feel free to add me and good luck on this epic journey!

    Add me if you want! I'm doing the 21 day fix program right now, on day 2. Trying to prep for my sisters wedding at the end of september. But I'm also just sick of eating unhealthy and being sedentary, so hoping to make it a lifestyle change.

    I'm a super geek lol I'm a neuroscientist and into all things zombie, fantasy, super hero etc. But not a gamer... :)

    Neuroscientist? Ok that's gotta be one of the coolest jobs I've heard of so far hehe

    Not a gamer is totally fine and I'm with you on being sick of not eating well and not being active. It's amazing how much it really drains you and makes you feel sluggish etc. Can't wait to get some energy back!

    Adding you :smile:

    Feel free to add me - I'm a microbiologist and my wife is a molecular biologist, I've got her all sucked into The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but have not managed to turn her onto gaming...yet. We have three little gamers up and coming, but making sure they are active as well. Our long term goal is to do a Spartan Race as a family.

    Many of the people on my friends list are getting fit to improve their cosplay.

    @alxinhim2 There's something kinda extra fun about having more geeks on your friends list for sure. Adding you :smiley:

    @CSARdiver Those are both really great TV shows, and love the dual scientist awesome. Of course when I think scientist I think Dr. Frankenstein and insane cackling but... XD A family Spartan race is a great goal to have! Added you as well.

    @KeepGood You saying that makes me want to play the series again XD Jill Shepard is the only Shepard for me and the only one I ever made/used. Wonder if everyone feels that way about theirs hehe

    This is me, in part!

    And my best buddy - and canine exercise companion - is named Frodo, so there's that.

    I'm just over halfway on my weight loss journey (maintenance being a whole 'nother ball game (uhm... quidditch?)), at 50 pounds down.

    I usually call myself a nerd. I'm occasionally a gamer. Really miss tabletop gaming like dungeons and dragons. Always liked the look of world of darkness, but never played really.

    Reading, too. I'm a psychology major, so I nerd out with that too.

    I absolutely love batman anything/everything! I do cosplay at conventions (going to Wizard World in Pittsburg next month), I read comics every Sunday (only day off from construction job), and I'm an all around geeky goddess.

    When I workout, I repeat What Would Batman Do? It makes me push my hardest when I imagine Batman is watching and judging how hard I'm working out to become the next Robin. So I never give up.

    I'm 5'7" and 138lbs. I don't really have a goal weight anymore since 140lbd was my old goal. I'm just working on building strength and endurance now.

    Well hello, like everyone! I'm somewhat impressed with the amount of response here so I figured I'd take a moment to say hi. I am also a super nerdy gamer girl who had struggled to keep up with her fitness...actually I'm terrible at it. As a career, I'm a hairdresser and walk a delicate line between fashion and nerdism. Instead of going out most nights like my coworkers my idea of a good time is curling up at night with a good video game. But, like my coworkers I take quite a but of pride in my appearance. I can't remember a day where I haven't had someone complement on my hair, clothes, make up, etc. (And as I just reread realized how vain that may have sounded, I promise I'm not!) With that in mind, I am constantly struggling between just hanging around and wanting to lose weight. I am hoping to find some good friends that I can keep chatting with to keep me motivated and inspired to lose weight. Anyone can feel free to add me and hopefully we can talk more!

    Hello! Welcome. I too am a geek. I'm a science type with interests in gaming, history, beauty (yes, I geek out to it), and psych. I'm not as huge into sci-fi as many of my brethren, but have a strange fascination for fantasy and mystery. I used to devour mystery novels in my spare time. I am certainly shy, so I won't be adding anyone here, but feel free to add me.

    Hey there! I'm more of a nerd than a geek in the sense that I'm not a gamer but do like to tinker with micro-controllers. I've been on MFP for over a year and am in the second phase of my journey, which is body recomp. Trying to reveal my abs in time for Youmacon this year :) Feel free to add me, my diary is open to friends.
