in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone, my names Chris, I am 24 and I am a nerd. Don't get me wrong, I love sports as well but video games and such...that's where it's at. I enjoy superheros, playing Steam games, 360 games, computers, and geeky stuff in general. Was wondering if anyone else on here is a nerd like myself that would like to help motivate each other.

    I am an engineer so that makes me a nerd by default. Yes, I graphed my weight loss in Excel because MFP was not detailed enough and MFP could not do projections...also graphed the inches lost, calculated BMI, weighed in daily, etc.

    I also experimented with a lot of foods to get the calories down while maintaining flavor and still had that "full feeling" when done eating. My current favorite is much improved version of the Subway flat-bread with egg-white and ham.

    Being an engineer isn't all bad. You can have poor social skills and dress poorly and when someone asks whats wrong with you...you just shrug and say "engineer" and get a total pass. lol Also, I totally get Big Bang Theory. <g>

    Yep. Older (and possibly fatter) than the rest of you so far, but a huge nerd. Gamer (yes, both Steam and 360), bookworm, math wiz, browncoat, et cetera.

    I'm a nerd... but not that kind. More of an "in the library", history, and reading nerd.

    Well, technically I'm a geek rather than a nerd. I've got degrees in Genomics and Molecular Genetics and Linguistics. I work in a bioinformatics laboratory. <3

    But, besides work, I've been playing a ridiculous amount of Skyrim these days...so when I'm not running in my free time, I'm making my Khajit theif do some running!

    I prefer RPGs and JRPGs, and prefer the xbox360 though I have a PS2, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, and Sony PSP and play them all as well. PC gaming is a bit out of the question for me as I have a laptop rather than a desktop like the hubby.

    Oh yeah, forgot to say that I'm an otaku. Love anime and manga and I translate manga from Japanese to English when the mood strikes.

    Most recently got into playing League of Legends and look forward to playing a few rounds every evening. (Incentive to get my workout done!)

    OMG - I have my weight loss in a spreadsheet as well, so I can project what my weight SHOULD be by a specific date.

    Haha, I didn't do a spreadsheet (and am not quite ready to admit how many things I do spreadsheets for), but I did put a target weight at the first of each month in my calendar to plan things out properly...

    This is the first Steam Sale that *didn't* hurt my wallet. But only because I already have everything I wanted that went on sale this time. I find myself slightly disappointed, somehow, that I didn't have the normal, "I spent HOW much?!" problem.
