    I'm also trying to lose weight to look hot at next year's nerdy conventions (Comic con, Wonder con, Comikaze expo, ect). I've never felt confident enough to cosplay, but I *really* want to!

    Other nerdy interests: Star Trek: TNG, MST3K, World of Warcraft, everything Batman.

    Hee hee, this is why I love my Starfleet uniform - Tasha Ya, Capt Janeway, Deanna Troi, Jadzea Dax all look sexy and confident in pantsuits, IMO.

    Video games and cosplay :smile:

    And it looks like I'll have to retire this one once I reach my goal weight :sad: I spent so many hours on it...

    why would you have to retire it? It looks awesome!

    because that's me at 155 pounds and my goal weight is 120 ish :( I probably won't be able to bring it in any because of where the stripes are

    and thanks :)

    Considering I just finished watching a classic Tom Baker Doctor Who, exercise every day while watching MLP:FiM, and I'm getting fit so I can start cosplaying again....yeah, I'd say I'm a nerd.

    I'm also fairly new and looking for new friends--feel free to friend me, nerdy comrades! :-)

    Started playing Dnd since there was an A before it. Back when elf was a class (the blue box). Avid tabletop and PC gamer, still have my Magic:The Gathering sets dating back to Arabian Nights, played everything from 7th Sea to L5R.
    One of the few who has an equal love for both Trek and Wars, grew up with Stan Lee teaching me how to read, and I've attended the big 3 conventions (Origins, GenCon, and Winter Fantasy).
    So, yeah, I may be a bit of a nerd. :)

    So much nerd love!!! <3 I came to the right place to work on losing weight! I have always been a science nerd, oh and psych, fascinating our brains are! But thanks to my 7 nephews, my 3 step kids and my favorite nerd in the world (my fiance, Matt) I am well schooled on superheros. Matt and I play Magic together and when we really in need of an escape, we have Dagorhir (essentially larping.. lol, but the guys yet really offended when we call it such). I love most anything metaphysical/ supernatural. I game some, but Matt is the real gamer in the family. He is going back to school for programming and wants to work in game development.

    Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, True Blood, LOST, BBT, anything by Whedon, comic books, mangas, anime, pc and video games though I am much more of a casual player now than in the past. Besides just being lazy and not caring that I was fat, my gaming habits were probably my biggest contributing factor in gaining weight. I was a major MMORPG addict. FFXI was my thing. Played it from 2002/2003 til Fall of 2009. 7-8 hrs every day plus eating fast food out of convenience so I could keep gaming = almost hitting the 500 lbs mark.

    I still play video games but I average 2-4 hrs a week now. I don't MMORPG anymore either. :frown: I love them but I'm the social type. I like making friends, grouping, doing quests with others and all that takes time that I just don't have. Also love going to cons. I'll be at SDCC. I've gone since 2005 and missed 1 year because of work. I also recently been going to Emerald City Comic Con which is in my neck of the woods.

    My wedding ring is a replica of The One Ring, I wrote a perverted Mario Bros. game where he collects condoms and you can prolly figure out what the mushrooms are, go to Comic Con every year and have a robot face mask. Not sure if I am a nerd/geek or just plain weird.

    Gaming and IT geek here. Though gaming is waaaaay more casual than it used to be, and IT is also my job.
    Also nerdy tendencies in many more things.

    Yes! I am most definitely a nerd. And a geek, although I was glad to hear that geeks no longer have to bite the heads off live chickens...

    I'm a fairly broad geek. Literature, art, music, film, TV, comics, dance, sport, the list is endless. I suppose I just love culture, all the things people make and do. I do, however, have a special love for science fiction, ever since I discovered at 11 years old that my school library had, weirdly, hundreds of science fiction novels and not a lot else.

    People can friend me if they want some kind of mutual support with this whole weightloss/fitness thing. I'd certainly be glad of it.

    And that's my first post!

    My reward for reaching my goal weight will be the science dress from the original Star Trek. So yes,
