Goddess
RP?
Of course!
LARP?
Hmmm... I might if given the opportunity.
What are your weightloss goals?!
I'd like to lose 80lbs... seriously I wish that I could hook up my RPGs to my Elliptical. Imagine all the running I'd do if I was playing Old Republic or WoW.
How many pounds have you lost?
Just Started so only one right now. Two weeks in... (I feel like it should be more but I've been working out cross training too so maybe I've gained some muscle too. Who knows)
Walk on the Beach?
I wish I had a beach near me to walk on.....0 -
Hey there, Tammie here!
My nerd vices include gaming, ranging from pen and paper, to 40K to MMORPGs. Mostly playing WoW at the moment. I'm a Resident Evil addict, I enjoy going to cons, though I'm not the cosplay type. I cannot, will not EVER LARP. I'm a comic book junkie and Wonder Woman will always be one of my biggest heroes. I'm a huge fan of the sci fi genre and fully convinced that Joss Whedon is a god. Star Wars trumps Star Trek and when I was younger, I just knew that one day Boba Fett and I would be blissfully happy together. I still have most of my old gaming consoles, ranging back all the way to my Atari 5200.
I have a 65 lb weight loss goal. After my divorce, the weight slowly started to sneak up on me. I turn 40 next year and I want to do it feeling good about myself instead of embarrassed by the weight I've gained.0 -
HI my name is Molly
Or Apples, 4pp135, or Apple Pi.
I'm a 21 (22 in a few days) year old female geek/nerd/melvin who loves anything academic, technological, or game based.
I'm definitely a game lover. I play games on all the different consoles from FPS to RPGs. I am definitely into RPGs like Pathfinder and DnD. I haven't really LARPed before but I have definitely dressed up for Renaissance Fairs and Civil War Reenactments.
I also adore TCG and board games. My biggest TCG is Magic the Gathering but I love playing obscure ones like the X-Files Card Game. Honestly if it is a game and I can play it I probably have or will.
Currently I have lost about 17lbs since I have started dieting. I used to be a very active individual but over time especially with my start of a career in Human Resources I've let my health get on the back burner. My goal is to get back down to my healthy weight of 135lbs. I'm really excited to have found myfitpal because it seems like an amazing community and I'm even more motivated to work my butt off (literally). ^__^0 -
My name is Meagan, I'm a few weeks shy of 22 years old. I just had a beautiful baby girl on October 12th,2011 named Scarlett. Even with my newborn daughter and exercise program, I can still squeeze in a few minutes of gaming a week. Lol.
I'm more into role playing games, and don't really like first person shooters, the exceptions being The Elder Scrolls series and as my MFP username implies, the BioShock series. Oh, and Resident Evil 5.Although many gamers laugh at this, I am a huge fan of the Harvest Moon games, which I've played since I got it on my GameBoy Color. BioShock 2 is my favorite game, and I'm dying for BioShock Infinite even though the story takes place completely out of Rapture. I find any sports-themed video games completely and utterly pointless. Either go outside and play in real life, or turn on ESPN. Or better yet, hand me the controller and let me play Skyrim.
As for weightloss, I gained 40 lbs with my pregnancy and reached my heaviest weight at 340 lbs, which I already lost plus an extra 5 lbs before starting on MFP again. Since joining on the 26th of November (When my C-Section incision was cleared for workouts) I've lost 3 lbs, I've put this on my ticker but for some reason it's not showing it.
My boyfriend Nich is on here as well, (Also a gamer) and we help each other stick to working out and eating as best we can.
My XBox gametag is BioShocked28.0 -
I'm Brea. That's Br-ee for any of those who cared. I'm 24.5 years old. I'm a female, or an XX as I refer to myself in my MFP username. I was a hardcore roleplayer on the game World of Warcraft and participated in a heavy RP guild for over 2 years before they disbanded. I continued to play WoW for another 2 years until I decided I was too bored with it. I would LOVE to LARP, but unfortunately there are no LARP groups in my area so no nerdy dressing up and casting lightning bolt for me.
My weight loss goal is to get to 120 or less by my birthday, which is in June. I'm determined not to be another fat nerd which are discussed on the internet at great length. I want to be one of those E3 models rockin' an awesome costume and a flat stomach.
I've only lost 2 lbs so far. But I'm not done yet!
Walk on the beach? Does it have cake at the end of the walk? NO. NO I MUST RESIST. THE CAKE IS A LIE. THE CAKE IS A LIE. THE CAKE IS A LIE.0 -
31 yr old male living near Seattle, WA. pretty avid gamer. I play a little of everything, FPS, sports games (mainly soccer and nba), horror genre, both on console and pc. My favorite genre is rpgs/adventure types. I was also heavily into the MMO scene years ago. Final Fantasy XI was my drug of choice. 8-10 hrs a day 7 days a week was normal for me. I tried WoW, EQ (for all of 5 mins lol) AION, 2002-2009. I finally had to quit FFXI b/c of my health.
I got big. Nearly 500 lbs. and had diabetes type II and was sleepy all the time. I started losing weight and work on being healthier Dec. 2009. I am glad to say since Jan. 2011, after losing 100 lbs. I no longer have diabetes and my sleepiness went away too. Thought I had sleep apnea but found out it was all related to my diabetes. I still play games, 1-3 hrs, 3-4x a week. I'm also more active physically. Walks, jogs, swimming, weights and even a little Zumba. 5x a week.
Besides gaming I have played Magic the Gathering, read comic books. favorite is Nightcrawler from Marvel, japanese manga, anime, also like my sci-fi tv shows. Firefly, Dollhouse, Roswell, Also non sci-fi shows like BtVS, True Blood, Angel etc. etc.
Love Star Wars. Star Trek.....is okay......I did like TNG. and the new reboot/movie series. I also have gone to San Diego Comic-con for the past few years. I have friends that live down in SD so hotel costs are 0$ making it really affordable. Never dressed up. I may sometime. but I am a bit shy so probably not XD
So ultimately my goal is to reach 200-220 lbs, and be able to wear cool geeky stuff like t-shirts and what not. Before I was 5-6XL in size now I actually fit into 2XL and can find cool stuff to wear!0 -
I'm Mel, a 42 year old female gamer. Now I am playing Skyrim, did beta for SWTOR and looking forward to playing that. In the past I've played EQ, EQ2, WoW, LOTRO, Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Starcraft II, Red Alert, Command and Conquer, Civ, Sims, Titan Quest, Total Annihilation, Rainbow 6, Doom, Quake, The Realm - wow, this list is getting embarrassing.
My weight loss goal is 62 to 67 kilos. I've lost 59 kilos. Almost there!
Still trying to finish my M.A. thesis. Not going well, what with all the gaming.

You get it!
I'm Charlotte, I'm 32 and I'm female. I role play Dark Heresy and SLA Industries. I do not LARP. I used to play WoW a heck of a lot, but stopped just before I got married in October and haven't really gone back. I've also played Guild Wars, Kingdom of Loathing and Dawn of War on the PC. I'm a massive Lego computer game fan. Currently gone back to Dynasty Warriors 6 on the XBox 360 with the husband, but it's not as good as DW3 or 4. I read sci fi and fantasy novels. I write my own sometimes. I also play a lot of board games, in particular Arkham Horror. I
I have lost 22lbs this year, I have about the same to go until I'm at what I'd consider to be an acceptable weight. My goals are to be a UK size 14 all over.
I don't live near a beach, but when I get the chance I love to walk on it.0 -
The name's Mike. 25 year old male here.
I'm pretty much exclusively a PS3 Gamer. Mostly RPG and RPG shooter combos, with some Action/Adventure thrown in. Series like Mass Effect, Fallout, Final Fantasy, Infamous, Uncharted, and Assassin's Creed.
I'm looking to lose about 15 pounds. The first time I was on this site, I lost almost 20. But I got lazy and stopped showing up and exercising or eating right, so I gained pretty much all of it back. My goal is also fitness through strength training and martial arts. Trying to live out the childhood dream of being the gamer nerd who can also kick the jocks *kitten*.
I live in Florida, but don't get to the beach as much as people would think, even though there are a number of beaches that are about a 30 minute drive. But when I am on the beach, I'll take long walks on them.0 -

Hi there~
My name is Kendal. I'm a 21-year-old college student, originally from Ohio, but currently living in Kentucky.
I play mostly on Xbox (gamertag: inlandgoose) and my DS. Some of my favorite games are Bioshock, Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon Pearl/SoulSilver/Black, Black Ops, Halo, DDR, Silent Hill, Legend of Zelda, Arkham Asylum, etc. I also have a World of Warcraft account, but it's currently deactivated (got bored with it a few weeks ago, figured I'd save the money). Some of my other interests include anime, manga, gothic lolita fashion, and cosplay.
As far as weight goes, in the past two years I've lost about 50 pounds. My current goal is to lose another 15 or so, but it's constantly a moving target. I have an eating disorder, therefore it's difficult for me to say just what my ultimate # would be.
Anyone with similar interests, please feel free to add me.!! 0 -

Sup people!?
Brando here... 26 year old Male
LARP? Hell no.
RPG? Been on WoW since BC was released, and quit just as soon as I found about the panda invasion. Pandas... Really Blizzard?
I now am a dedicated musician, student (going for a BS in computers, husband, father, and even more so a PS3 gamer. Currently on my game rack: Batman: Arkham City, MW3, BF3, and Skyrim.
My weight is currently up at 245lbs. I used to do P90X until I took an arrow to the knee. lol. Na but truthfully, I am fresh off a foot injury and need to get back at it. With the foot still being tender, I'm going to just modify diet and do low impact cardio (gazelle) until my foot is back to health. I hope to get down to about 180 by my birthday in April, but not gonna stop there. I hope to lean out at about 165 and then maintain and tone. Hopefully no later than June. I started a week ago, and I've lost 5 lbs already. Man I'm hungry as !@#$ lol.0 -
let's see here
My name is Jess, I'm a 26 year old female.
Hmmm RPG or LARP? Not so much. I'm more of a 1st Person Shooter kind of gal. Right now I'm playing Call of Duty MW3. And just finished up Alice Madness Returns. Yeah I know not really an avid gamer, but hey I try lol
I won't list my current weight on here, but I need to lose a solid 150 pounds to be smack dab in the middle of my healthy weight range - so that's my goal. I just started here on MFP, so I haven't lost any weight as of yet, but here's hoping to a healthy lifestyle change
Walk on the beach? Believe it or not, I went there once and wasn't a fan. lol0 -
I am 28, and I love board games. My favorite game is Agricola, but Empire Builder is a close second. The games I am most likely to win are 7 Wonders, Masons, Innovation, and To Court the King. Someday, I will win Ticket to Ride. My husband and I have a pretty good collection.
I was introduced to board gaming by LARPing friends. I LARPed for about 4 years, but have fallen out of it. There was too much drama at every chapter we tried. Plot teams also played favorites like crazy. We'd show up, play hard, and donate stuff and we never got any love. After grad school got more serious for both of us, we decided that the financial and mental commitments were no longer worth it. I do miss it sometimes, but I do not think I'd ever go back.
I need to lose about 60-70 lbs, but not in the next 9 months as I am unexpectedly with child. It was sort of planned, but I honestly thought I was too fat to get pregnant and that it would not happen until sometime after more weight came off. My current goal is to gain a healthy 15 lbs over the course of the next 9 months. I've already lost more than that, so it's not so daunting a number to add back to my total.... other than the fact that there will be a small human to take care of when I'm trying to re-lose that weight.
Anyway, I should have a good baby bump going by our next board game con. I want to get one of those shirts that says ____LOADING 0 -

Hey all!
I'm Mike, a 29 year old cubicle jockey. LOL
My gaming slants towards Nintendo systems (looking forward to playing Skyward Sword soon), and casual gaming on my PC (I'm a huge sucker for the "Humble Bundle" game collections - there's a new one out now, go check it out!). I also have a tendency to hang on to my past systems and revisit them from time to time (First gen Game Boy, SNES, PSX, PS2). I've never LARPed, nor am really into RPG's (I enjoyed Super Mario RPG back when, but I don't think that REALLY counts LOL).
My two other major geeky interests are Star Trek, and Transformers, but there's no need to go into those here. :-D
I recently had an epiphany about my health (detailed in my profile) and am embarking on a journey to whip myself into shape. I have no illusions that it will be a short process, but this time I'm willing to see it through! :-)0 -
Who are you! Hi, I'm Amanda.
Age? 24
Female or male? Female
As far as games go, I tend to play MMORPGs. Big ones are Final Fantasy XI, WoW, and Rift. Thinking about trying SWTOR. I still play FFXI.
I don't LARP.
What are your weightloss goals? I'd still like to lose about 15-20 lbs, but my main focus is building strength and becoming more fit instead of skinny fat. I started my strength training and nutrition regime in earnest about a month ago.
How many pounds have you lost? I've lost about 8 pounds since I started mfp. Since I've been doing strength training though, I think I've probably lost more fat and built more heavy muscle. Woohoo!0 -
Hey fellow geeks. My name is Chad. I'm a 34 year old married father of 2, and avid gamer since HS. I've always dug Nintendo console stuff, paper and dice RPG's, and tabletop minis wargames, as well as some of the more "gamer-oriented" odd card and board games (Cheapass Games, Last Night on Earth, etc.)
Currrently I have a stalled Shadowrun campaign, a Dresden Files campaign in the fetal stages, and the same for a Game of Thrones campaign.
On the Wii, I'm on Skyward Sword
I'm an Apple nerd, so my computer gaming is basically all Blizzard lol. I'm on WoW for at least the next year (lol) and will be playing D3 when it drops. I won't run an emulator just to play a game, so lots of other games are out for me.
I worked in the game industry for quite a few years, first at FASA and then as a writer for several other game companies (Crocodile Games, Privateer Press, Dark Age Games, etc.), and I'm thinking of putting my feet back into it but I have very little extra time as it is.
Since I decided to turn my health around, I've dropped just under 80 pounds. It has taken me about 2.5 years.0 -
Who are you!
Hi I'm Lauren
Age?

Female or male?

RP? No
LARP? No
I am a huge fan of the GTA franchise, (Almost anything that Rockstar puts out.) Left 4 Dead and Sims
What are your weightloss goals?! At least 85lbs
How many pounds have you lost? Just got started, I haven't lost a thing.
Walk on the Beach? If there was one nearby.

Hello everyone, I'm Nadine! I'm 24 and from Australia and spend entirely way too much time playing games. I don't do PC gaming because 1) I have a Mac and 2) Aforementioned Mac is about 6 years old. 2GB of ram? Yeah, I got this. Needless to say, most of my gaming is done via consoles. I have an Xbox 360, Wii (don't judge, Mario Kart is the jam), and 3DS.
Right now I am pretty obsessed with Skyrim... it's insane! I have no regrets lol. I am pretty open to play anything though, my games range from Banjo Kazooie, Fruit Ninja, and Dance Central to Lego Harry Potter to Dragon Age etc. The only thing I am not hugely fussed on is FPS... and that is only because I am terrible at them. I do love watching people play though!
Weightloss goals are basically to lose 15-20kgs, aiming for 20 though. I'll be setting myself little mini goals so that 20 doesn't sound AS daunting. I've lost around 15kgs or so already by myself, but I only recently joined MFP because I love the social aspect
And yes, I love walking on the beach.
PS - I posted my gamertag in the other thread, feel free to add me if you have an Xbox!0 -
I'm Becca and I'm from Boca Raton, Florida (or Jax, FL for school. UNF! SWOOP! haha). I'm 19 and a sophomore in college and female, haha.
My game of obsession is Guild Wars (Even if it is dying) and currently there is 'Wintersday' going on which is like Christmas in game for 3 weeks.. and I get to obsess over Snowball Arena, which is where I get to throw snowballs at people and steal presents for my Avatar!!
I reached my goal earlier this week --> 130lbs.
I want to maintain between 125-130.
I'm just happy I found my collar bone for the first time EVER!! 0 -
1) I have a Mac and 2) Aforementioned Mac is about 6 years old. 2GB of ram? Yeah, I got this.
