    Hi!
    My real name is Lisa. I'm 5'8" and currently at 214... My goal is eventually 150, though once I get to 180 I think I'm going to throw a party.
    I love RPGs. Love DandD, though all 3 of my nerd friends are no longer in San Diego so I am a lonely nerd at the moment. Forced to hang with my socially respectable girlfriends while they do things like sunbathe and get pedicures. I am slowly getting to them... trying desperately to trick them in to doing things like coming to comic stores with me and making homeade lightsabers. Its ok though, I spend most of my time playing old nintendo games and reading sci-fi comics. I'm also a HUGE trekkie. In fact I love everything Sci-fi related. Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Star Wars... You get the point.

    I've realized I can't do this alone and need support. Please Friend request me if you have similar interests and we can help each other along!!

    Hi I'm Heather, 30 (ugh, so weird to say) and I love to game. I mostly play online games I get bored playing alone. It all started with Ultima Online back in the day, then Evercrack and many years of WoW. I have since started playing more Xbox games, mostly MW3 and L4D2 but I just got Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012 thinking maybe if it's game-like I will want to exercise. So far so good.

    I've been on MFP for over a year now and when I'm here I'm on track but I often get distracted for whatever reason (vacation, a new-fangled diet, or I'd just rather drink and have fun) then I gain some weight back and here I am again... Over the years though I've managed to keep off 20-25 lbs and my diet is much healthier, I'm just not too consistent. I have about 12 lbs until I get to my ultimate goal which seems like a far off dream sometimes and sometimes feels like I'm almost there.

    And yes I love walks on the beach, I'm born and raised Southern California and I live right on the beach. :glasses:

    Hey y'all!

    My name is Squidgeypaws and I'm a WoW addict.....

    Oh, wrong group.

    :tongue:

    Nah, but I am a WoW gamer. I'm a GM of a moderately successful allicance guild - we're around 30th on server for progress, top 20 ally! (who ARE RECRUITING!! check us out http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5058956055)

    Weight loss? I have around 40Ibs to lose, I'm roughly half way. I HAVE been playing less since exercising became fun, but I'm still having fun and killing things to steal their stuff regularly :laugh:

    I really like WoW. Played SWTOR. And I have played a bit of TERA - and would like to play that again soon.
    Other things about me... I really love animals and they're my passion. I enjoy going to the movie theaters, going out to eat, going to the mall. I like working out at the gym and swiming in the pool at my apartment.

    What's up everybody?

    My name is Ted, i'm a 26 year old male, and i love video games. I'm also a pretty big sci-fi geek, i love the Mass Effect series and i've played the first 2 games numerous times. I'm also a huge Assassin's Creed fanboy.

    While everyone was turning their noses up at the Kinect i embraced it as a great new way to play games. Your Shape: Fitness Evolved was one of the first games i bought for Kinect and i've been using it off and on to stay in shape.

    I also live on the beach and i do like going for long walks. ;)

    Hey, I'm Kelly and I'm 23 and female.
    Loved video games since I can remember. Huge fan of the Final Fantasy series as well as Grandia, Warcraft, World of Warcraft etc! Still subbed to WoW but not playing much until MoP comes out.
    I don't have any huge weightloss goals and I've only just started today :) Want to lose about 13lbs as I was my happiest and healthiest at that weight. Looking to do it in a healthy way too! I love food too much to starve myself!
    Other than gaming I love to be with friends/family. I love to cook and to eat and watching my husbands band (facebook.com/cenaclemusic) - shameless plug I know but if you're into rock music they are very good :)
    Just finished my degree in psychotherapy also so looking for some opportunities in that area while i'm working part time at a Drs surgery!
    I love swimming and walking also so those are the main exercises I'll be doing to help me get into shape again!
    In the UK the beaches aren't so great but I do love walking on beaches!

    Hi I'm John, 33 from the UK.

    I love most RP games, especially older Final Fantasy games (VII is my favourite)

    I used to play WoW but that gets too addictive so I leave it alone nowdays.

    I'm not looking to lose too much weight, I just wan't to be more healthy in general. I'm currently 82kgs and want to get down to 75kgs.

    Looking at the consoles and PCs in our house I would say I'm a gaming addict and should probably be signing up to a support group ;)

    Hi all, I'm Garret and am 29 year old male from California. I work as a computer support tech/ systems admin with a B.S in computer networking.

    Game consoles I have are Xbox360, PS3, Wii, PS2, 3DS, and my gaming pc. I do not LARP, but do play mostly RPG's with some action/adventure games thrown in.

    I've currently lost 100 lbs; I started at 319 in Feb 2011 and am currently 218 and still going. I want to get to at least 190 and then see what I think when I'm there to see if I go more or stay.

    MMO's I play are STO and will be getting back into SW:TOR when it goes F2P later this year. Aside from games, I love just going out on a trail near my house with my bike and I also ride to work.

    I'm Holly, 30 year old, female. I work as Accounts Payable/IT HelpDesk/Intanet-Internet Admin, etc. etc......Let's just say I wear many hats, most of them computer related:tongue:

    Gaming is one of my favorite daily activities, however, it's putting the pudge back on and I don't want to end up looking like Kirby :P My boyfriend of 12 years is also a gamer too, more-so that I :) We have 'em PS3, Xbox 360 (x2), Wii, Vita, PCs, even an old "original" Xbox!

    I mainly play PC & Xbox - currently hooked on Skyrim.

    As for weight loss, I had lost 40# between 2010-2011 on WW, but then they changed their plan and gained 75% back. I'm working on losing 50# :happy:

    RP - I do...haven't in a while though
    LARP - Y'all bother me

    Hi thar

    Name: frando >3
    Age: 22
    Gender: female
    RP: I've been on RP Minecraft and WoW severs and did a bit of acting in my time but no RP IRL
    LARP: I'd love to try it out!
    Weight Loss Goals: To be healthy damns it! I'm looking to drop about 48kg, just a tad under 100lbs, other goals below!
    Weight Lost: 11kg 24lbs (which doesn't add up to me o_O)
    Walk on the Beach: Yes! But sand between the toes is a bugger O:

    Yes! Other goals are to cosplay as a female Grimmjow as it looks fun, but anyone whose read the manga / seen the anime will tell you it'd be a pretty revealing costume xD

    So geek qualifications as it were;

    I love the sci-fi stuff: Wheedons, Star Trek, Star Wars, Star Gate, Grimm. But I do like things like NCIS and some fashion shows (girl's gotta look good ;D) but I prefer a good comedy over all of them like reruns of Fraiser.

    Avid manga reader; Bleach, The Kurosagi Corpse Collection, Death Note (ofc) and generally shonen stuff. I like anime, preferably subbed, but I think that somethings come across better in Bleach. My favourite anime movie has to be Spirited Away as I'm both freaked out and adore No Face.

    I used to kick *kitten* as an ench shammy on WoW but I just hated that changes they've been making I've left, working on League of Legends (alot better then first thought!), my gaming is sparadic at the moment (playing Minecraft mostly, but catching up on the Fables on my xbox and hopefully finding a decently priced Skyrim too).

    Book wise I do love my Tolkien (who doesn't??), do like the Hunger Games but I loathe Harry Potter and there aren't words in the English language that could describe my hatred for Twilight but I'm open to anything to be fair. Eargon was way better in book form then in movie form. Kind of looking forward to the Hobbit.

    Movie wise I'm an action and comedy lover, through and through, and do enjoy the odd bit of martial arts (House of Flying Daggers is beautiful and always makes me cry O:), I like both the Italian Jobs but for different reasons, adore the Bourne series and I can't wait to see the latest one. I do love kids animations, from places like Pixar, as they're rather Dhalesq at times and I'm still at the point where I get both x3

    For comics I'm a Thor girl, so Marvel, but yet again I'm open to a good story and I do dip into the other Marvel characters from time to time.

    Though my bf hates me for it I do love My Little Ponies and am well a... Gronie?

    Also knit from time to time :3

    Feel free to add me I like to support people as much as they support me!

    Hi Everybody,

    Name is mikey, go bye xxmangexx (or usernamestolen on psn (stupid no mange names allowed)).
    Age: 31
    Gender: I think I choose the doors with the triangle on them
    RP: Played very much. Have not in quite some time. I have been stuck on board games for a tad. Castle Ravenloft and Arkam Horror. Munchkin also takes up most of the night.
    LARP: Renfair count? Probably not.
    Goals: Would like to get down to 185, but I will take 215. I want to get out of the OBESE bmi category.
    Weight lost: I hope my sig loads
    Walk on the beach: nah, don't like sand in my *kitten*.

    I am looking for some MFP pals. Add away. If you want to play a game on xbox, not really on ps3 much, send me a friend request.

    Basically, I want to lose some unwanted gamer weight. I have spent to many hours on the couch and need to get this baggage off. I am off to a good start. Looking for other motivated mfp peeps. I have a few irl's on my list but looking to connect with a few more.

    Currently I am juggling 1680 calories, 2 kids, full time job, playing gotham city impostors and stick ranger on pc.
