    Yay! Another Magic nerd! I traded WoW for magic. It's slightly less debilitating since you have to see people in real life and move around, at least a little.

    Omg no way, girls don't play magic! You lie!

    Hello fellow nerd/geek/awesome people

    Who are you! - Brenda
    Age? about 40
    Female or male? all female curves and bumps in the right places, just more curvier than I should be
    RP? hell yeah, just finished DND 4.0 game with some friends, doing another version more futuristic this time, but have been P2P RGP on and off since high school.
    LARP? No, unless you count Ren Fair.
    What are your weightloss goals?! I want to be fit, so I'm guessing about 100 more lbs
    How many pounds have you lost? about 50 in total, but i started MFP after I lost some weight.
    Walk on the Beach? sure, but would prefer some volleyball or swimming vs walking on the beach.

    Just got back into the video gaming - just bought an old XBOX 360 and am seriously wanting to pick up a good RPG multiplayer for it - been looking at the new Skyrim.

    I started out as a Pong addict, moved to Atari then discovered DND and Magic.

    Yay Gamers!

    Hey people on her call me "6" <<<it's easier then 123456654321 ^_^. I'm 30years old and I've got lady bits xD I've reached my weight loss goals and then some a pretty long time ago. I am now maintaining and doing an ok job of it (I go up and down within the same 5-6lbs throughout the month.) I enjoy all types of games....rpgs, shooters, action/adventure, platform.....as long as I am having fun, I will play it. Recently there have been way too many fun games to play and it's kinda sorta becoming a problem....lol I play on both 360/PS3.

    Whew. I really tried to read through all of the introductions, but then my eyes started crossing and it all started running together, so enough of that. It's late. Moving on. :)

    Kelly, 31, female
    As for a rundown of my history, I still remember playing Atari games with my dad when I was younger and then up through NES/SNES, etc. I was huge into EQ for a long time and then eventually switched to WoW, and I still have an active account, but I haven't been on in a bit.
    I used to be a DnD gal with my brother and his friends, and I've played a few of the others like Vampire, but it's been a while.
    Lately for me, it's been games along the lines of Fable, Dragon Age, FF, Assassin's Creed, and most recently, Elder Scrolls. Pretty much, I like games that I can play without worrying about how much I suck...lol. I don't kid myself. I love games, but I'm usually far from great. And I love RP, both in written form or game form, but no LARPing.

    I've lost around 41 pounds total since I started last year, but I had a break in between, and I've lost 17 this time around. I'm debating about changing my 'starting weight' because I'm proud of my total, but for now, it's staying as it is.

    Aaaaand, I think that's it. Yep. All done.

    Oh wait! I adore board games. Totally counting them. :)

    RPG's? Yes. Currently playing Skyrim. (Freakin' game of the year.) Recovering addict of City of Heroes.
    LARPG? No.

    I've been playing video games since the tender age of 5. I've been collecting comic books for the last 17 years. I think that makes me a geek? Ha!

    My current weight is 218lbs. I just had surgery so I'll be taking it really easy for the next 2 months or so. (Playing Skyrim of coarse.) My goal weight is a lean 150lbs.

    Nice meeting you all.

    P.S. I LOVE walks on the beach.
  • Heya All :)

    I'm Nic, 40 year old girl (19 at heart and always will be). Been on my weightloss journey a few months but only now discovered how good MFP is!!

    Games wise I'm mainly a PC gamer - Skyrim is my game of the moment and I've been playing Rift & WOW this year too.

    Got about 30 kgs to lose so guess I'll be here a while :)

    Looking forward to chatting

    Hi


    I'm marty, 40, mum, married with 2 boys. All gamers in my home so 4 xbox 360s, 2 laptops and a geriatric desktop.

    Started gaming on....wait for it....the vic 20!!! When you used cassette tapes to load a game, it took 3 hours and usually failed lol

    Want to get to 140 (ish)lbs after putting on 50lbs when I gave up smoking and working as a nurse.

    Home ed our 9 year old and studying for a BA history through the OU.

    Play most games except strategy. Love assasins creed series, elder scrolls series, (lego series but don't tell anyone:wink: ) and currently just playing MW3 and trying to decide what to spend my 3 prestige tokens on. Also elite founder...I have no idea what that means but apparently its good!! :laugh:

    I wouldn't consider myself "Hardcore". LOL

    I am a 21yo female who loves to play games! I currently revel in the Battlefield 3 (from BBC2) and have spent many hours on WOW, and played in home D&D with my boyfriends family (they played it ALL the time!). I have spent quite a few days on Fable 2, and thought the multiplayer in Assasins Creed was the best (although slow in the loading...)! I love all of the above, but due to owning my own business and spending so much time with trying to lose weight I hardly ever have the time to do anything other than surf MFP.

    I have lost 15lbs, in the last 85 days, I've lost two of those :/ Its okay, I think I started to deduce I was under-eating!

    When it comes to those codes, you've got one lost cookie here! RP? I would assume that relates to Role Playing... spoke about that one... LARP? Have no idea what that is!!!

    RP? I miss it =( But being a mom you have to give up a few things =P
    LARP? no...oh hell no. me + costume =awkward
    What are your weightloss goals?! I want to get down to a healthy weight in the correct bmi range~ so...140-150ish (hoping to lose about 120)
    How many pounds have you lost? just started so....won't know until I weigh myself this week!
    Walk on the Beach? I do other things on the beach...like....ok nvm...


    Otherwise I'm a happily married mom who kills computer monsters while the kiddos sleep.
  • I'm Vinnie, 21 year old female gamer. I'd RP if I could get that damn group together. No larping, too lazy for that. I wanna get a good cosplay body, and lift more than skinnyfat guys. (The look on their faces, priceless)

    In total I've lost about 11 lbs I think, not sure how heavy I was at most. I don't like walking on the beach, I prefer lying lazily with an alcoholic beverage and a book. I was never fat, I've only been various sizes of chubby ever, and aiming to fix that. Been gaming since I was little (3-5 somewhere), with sega and gameboy and PC.

    I'm also the clever kind of nerd, and I will several times in a day stop and flinch and think "I'm surrounded by idiots.."

    I'm a 50 year old female, wife, working mother of two, and a gamer. I put on 15 lb the first month I started playing WoW. It was in February 2006 and there was a lot of chocolate in the house. That should have been a clue I needed to look at at my eating and exercise habits. The rate of weight gain slowed, and I've been holding steady around 185 for the past year. I hope to start playing SWTOR soon.

    I play on an RP-PvP server in WoW and I have done forum and chat RP. I do not LARP.

    I want to get back down to a healthy BMI and hopefully avoid type 2 diabetes. I also want to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim again. I'm just starting so I haven't lost anything yet this time around. After both of my kids I was able to get down to my pre-preganancy weight of 145 lb. I had gotten up to 210 lb when I was pregnant with my second; she weighed 10 lb 9 oz when she was born. When I lost weight after the kids, I was more active. This time I have not been able to lose weight even though I returned to the eating habits that helped me to lose and keep off weight before. I would like to get down to at least 155 lb.

    Who are you: My name is Ronja and I am from Vienna, Austria.

    Age: I'm 27

    Female or male: female

    RP: Absolutely yes. At the moment I play Skyrim whenever I get the chance to do it or old Hack'n' Slay games with my bf on our PS2. I am looking forward to the release of SW:TOR but still don't know how I am going to manage playing an MMO again since my lifestyle has changed so much (during high school and college I was a total EQ2 addict, raiding 6 nights a week oh my...). But my guild from back then will be with me and we all got older and got a life and so on ;) so I am looking forward to having the one or two gaming nights a week.

    As for gamign history: My first MMO was Ultima Online. Nuff said :) Everquest 2, Sacred, Diablo, Age of Conan, WoW, Aion, KOTOR, Guild Wars, Dungeon Siege, Baldur's Gate, NWN, Oblivion, The Witcher I + II, etc pp.

    LARP: Never got into it, padding a sword never seemed right :P

    What are your weightloss goals: Eventually I want to go to about 150lbs, my current goal is 187lbs

    How many pounds have you lost: I have lost 11lbs so far (I am now at 220lbs). I started working out regularly at the beginning of September 2011. I haven't lost that much weight since then but I can definitely see (and feel) some improvements in fitness and tone.

    Walk on the Beach? We don't have the sea here in Austria, but there's some really nice lakes, so yes!

    PS: Yeah, will upload a pic to my profile as well, but haven't got any full body shots (not very flattering) but since I'm here to change I will start with taking those pictures!

    Who are you! ---name's Melly and I'm 25...Female

    I'm kind of a girly gamer. I love my silly little Wii games, but I like to get serious too and play CoD, Diablo, etc. I REALLY want Skyrim, by hubby says I have to wait until Christmas. BOO! I'm REALLY into PvP, its more fun, more of a challenge.

    My all time fav is World of Warcraft, I have been an addict for roughly 5 years now!

    I am CURRENTLY not playing any games because of the addiction. I decided to use the money I used for WoW for a gym membership...I miss it sometimes! I know, what a loser!

    My usual screen names are variations of Lichelle

    These are my weight goals
    [Starting Weight: 224.0 lbs]
    [Current Weight: 202.0 lbs]
    1st: 199.0 -25 lbs
    2nd: 184.5 -39.5 lbs

    RP? Used to play D&D. Mine and my husband's first date was actually playing a game of D&D. How nerdy is that? In our defense, we were 15 and 17 at the times. We've actually been trying to get back into it lately because the kid has been wanting to play, but husband is a super ****ty DM so it isn't working out so well.

    LARP? No

    What are your weightloss goals?! 100 ish lbs

    How many pounds have you lost? 56.6
