Hi!
Ex avid old school gamer from Australia, still love it but have not picked up a controller in 6 months as fitness has become my thing.
I have pre-planed to get my game back on with Diablo III, I just plan to play in moderation and only if it does not affect my exercise commitments.0 -
Hi I'm Rachael. I'm 22 and am addicted to my xbox. I used to work at Gamestation so most of my pay went back to them since I spent most of it on games haha.

Walk on the Beach? No thanks =P
I play mainly PC games. I don't own any of the current generation consoles and have no desire to buy any because the games I play are also for PC and perform better on PC. I do a lot of emulation of older cartridge based systems, but my big games are EVE Online and Battlefield 3. Character name in Battlefield 3 is SeanFaust, and in EVE Online it's Sean Faust. I don't play much of EVE anymore though ever since adopting a more fitness oriented lifestyle because MMORPGs in general tend to require too much of an investment of your time and personal life to succeed in which doesn't leave much room for an active lifestyle.
You get it!0 -

Hi, I'm Kris -- or Tai. I'm a 41 year old mom, wife, WoW and old school table top player. Plus I'm a big "anything I can play on my android" person as well.
I did Jenny Craig a few years ago and lost about 60 lbs, but have gained about 45 of it back. I'm focusing on increasing my activity (using the treadmill in the gym at the office mostly) and reducing portion sizes and eating healthier.
I just started back on this journey on Tuesday - doing great so far
45 lbs to go!! (225 to 180 - then reevaluate)0 -
Hi I'm Cortney, 31 year old female, wife, mom. I have been using MFP since last year but haven't really utilized the forum until recently.
I am into FPS, RPG's, Active body games (Wii fit, DDR, Just Dance, Your shape, ect...) and MMO gaming as well as application games, handheld games, and board games. Desktop computers, ipads, ipod, kindle, Nintendo DS, and Wii all have a place in my home. I don't actually play much of the table top but I really enjoy painting and sculpting game pieces and creating cosplay wear for my other nerdy friends.
I have really enjoyed Skyrim, Guildwars, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Rift, and Left for Dead, Zelda, Final Fantasy. Toured WoW, LORTO, and SWotOR. Great stuff. Can't wait for GuildWars2. Still into Just Dance. My ipod and phone are filled with game theme songs, it's always interesting to see how people react when they come on over the stereo instead of in game (Woah isn't this Ocarina of Time?) Silly!
Just over half way on my weight loss journey. I am going to keep trying!0 -
Age? 21

Walk on the Beach? It all depends on the SHOES!!0 -
I have gone by a lot of names, I was a total altoholic back when I played WoW. I have been about 2 years free of WoW with a minor relapse after I bought my house. Currently I don't have the net at my house because I was living a far too sedentary life. I work a desk I.T. job so not too much movement there. I made the call and making myself leave the house to use the net has been a great one so far.
My gaming memories go all the way back to Tetris when the screen colors were just a yellowy orange and black, yeah, I started young. I have played a decently wide selection of games: computer, card (ie games like poker and like MtG), tabletop, board, PS2/3, SN, N64, GC, Wii, and heck let's put it out there iPhone. I enjoy watching games be played too but have a nasty habit of snatching the controller away if the player isn't doing something right. I'm a total gamer but most of my gaming now a days is just the occasional board game meetup group and a few random games on my iPhone. I tend toward puzzle and or platform games. Can't stand horror, turns me into a squeaking, flinching mess. FPS? I'd rather be shooting my real guns or my crossbow (not at people mind you.. Squirrels and deer, you've been warned). /nod
Age?: 27
Female or male?: Female
RP?: I have before (online, tabletop)
LARP?: Twice, I sucked at it because I kept breaking character in fits of laughter.
What are your weightloss goals?!: Over 100lbs
How many pounds have you lost? from my heaviest point I have lost 21lbs so far. Joined MFP yesterday so just started watching my food intake seriously instead just just kind of winging it.
Walk on the Beach?: I am really more of a Mountain person but I can enjoy a good sunset and or walk anywhere.
Looking forward to kicking buns(the bread kind
) and keeping a meal journal. Shouldn't be too different from a level grind right? 0 -

I do a lot of gaming when I'm not working out, and if I'm not working out, I'm reading, watching movies, building models, yada yada yada.... lots of nerdy things. I absolutely love reading, every week I've got a new book to read. But I only read when I'm at work. When I'm home, I'm either watching a movie with my wife, or gaming. sorry books, no time for reading at home.0 -
More of a casual gamer here!
I'm an 18 woman.
I do roleplay when I find people to RP with and my favorite tabletop game for the moment is Gloom.
I used to only play on old consoles or when on Linux the Battle for Wesnoth, Globulation 2, nethack and abandonwares but that new laptop has Windows, so I play Neverwinter Nights, Humble Dumble (somehow some of these never worked on GNU/Linux) and lots of cheesy games (the Clueless game)
I love games based on TV-shows or movies or comics, even if they suck, or games about my others interests.
I still do like abandonwares, though, Phantasmagoria is one of the non-cheesy abandonware I've played, and mystery/adventure point & clic like Theatre of Absurd (recently.)
I like simulation games like Creatures, though I don't play much of it anymore I liked making agents and modifying my norns' files, once I actually made my own race
I used to like Freeciv and Civilization when I was younger but not so much now... which bothers me a little, because I really liked these games.
I don't LARP but I'd like to. I also like arcade games and MUD. My character on the SDF MUD is Olyfter.
My weightloss goal is more getting fit and having "better" measurements (ie, near the ones I had before I stopped being physically active.) Anyway, if it was really for weightloss, my scale is broke!0 -
Hi all! I'm Jo I'm 24 and a single mom so obviously a female I had to stop playing WoW a few months back but I hope I can get back on soon! I currently weigh 195 and I'm trying to get down to 150. I also play Magic and for a while considered starting Warhammer but couldn't really find anyone around me to play with as well
I live too far from the beach but if I did live there I would be running on it constantly. I currently try to eat well and walk on the treadmill a lot. I start school in the fall and after school (2 years) I will start to play WoW again tho maybe not as hardcore as I once was (lvl grinded for a week and got to lvl 85) 0 -
Who are you! I'm Bart Simpson, Who the hell are you? I also go by Cristie or Zulu, Queen of the Dwarf People
Age? I say 29...sometimes 25...the calendar says I'm 34.
Female or male? Female with Kung Fu grip
RP? I would love to get into those kind of games. Really want to play D&D but never have enough people to do so. My friends and I are small group and not many geeks in my neck of the woods. I do love board games, Card games...Magic the Gathering for example and VIDEO GAMES!! Gears of War is a total addiction for me.
LARP? Never have but it's not out of the question.
What are your weightloss goals?! To survive the impending Zombie Apocalypse. I want to hunt squirrels like Daryl Dixon and kick *kitten* like Michone. If that doesn't happen then it will be nice to have slimmed down to pursure my other goal in life to be a Vampire Slayer.
How many pounds have you lost? 44lbs so far. I've been on my "diet" for 101 days so far. I've done it before and gained it back so I am hoping maybe this time I wont give up and end up shedding a lot more.
Walk on the Beach? I love the beach. Someday I hope maybe I could actually run on the beach.0 -

I play WoW mostly, got a trial for D3 that I've been playing a little bit and when I get paid I'll buy the full version For consoles, I got a Xbox360, DSi and a PS2. I play various games on each, including Skyrim, Alice: Madness Returns, DDR, Devil May Cry, Pokemon... yeah. Awesome.
Feel free to send me a friend request, it would be cool to meet some cool new gamer friends in the same weight loss boat as me!0 -
Hey all!
- I'm Catrina, a 26-year-old female. I like video games, but feel like my job working 3rds and attempting to sleep/spend time with the BF/workout tend to take all my gaming hours. I'll be switching to 1st shift sometime in the near future - hopefully that'll open some hours.
- I have a PS3 and laptop. Currently playing CoDMW3 (although I haven't been on in awhile), Diablo 3 and a text based MUD based off of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time book series.
- I'd like to get down to about 130lb again.
- A few years ago I was up to 170 (at 5'7") and I got down to 125 but I've slowly put some of that back on... 10 pounds of it in the last month 0 -
Hi and thanks for inviting me
My name's Stephenie
I'm 29
Female
I love games. Different types. Right now I'm trying not to be hooked on anything, because they can really consume me, lol. But RPG's are probably my fave. And I'm anxiously awaiting Halo 4.
I joined MFP hoping to lose 40lbs. (I'll re-evaluate when I get there) Then I want to tone up too.
So far, I've lost 14lbs. Although the progress is slow, it's also steady and I'm hoping that will keep me in the proper way for the long run
Walk on the Beach? - yes please But really I do usually once a week or more, hahaha. 0
