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 -

Feel free to add!

Hey all! I'm Flavia, 24 from Delaware. I play World of Warcraft mainly, looking forward to Diablo 3. Playing on my Kindle some of the sillier games, do Farmville on FB even though that's not really a "gamer" game. I'm a big MMO fan, played EQ, Rift, etc. Keep coming back to WoW though.0

I'm a pretty active gamer, I use to be a lot more into it but then i joined karate and don't have as much time anymore. Main games i enjoy are X-box - Halo(1,2,3), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dynasty Warriors, Metal Gear Solid 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Fusion Frenzy. Play Station - Pretty much every other Metal Gear game, Final Fantasy 7. Almost any Wii game. Any Zelda game!

My name is Tiffany, I'm 28 and female.
RP? YES!! lol I loved the Final Fantasy Series, Kingdom Hearts Series, Oblivion etc,..
LARP? No, but I would like to give it a try!
My weight loss goals are to finally have a baby, and to have confidence in myself (it's hard to with the PCOS)
I've lost 14 pounds so far...I've done it before but always gain the weight back
I'd love to take a walk on the beach! (Never been there before)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?
I'm 32 years old
Female or male?
I'm female
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.
You get it! I think I got it.0 -
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.
