    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.

    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:

    Who are you - I am me
    Age - 00110011 00110000
    Female or male - I think this is a gender biased question and don't approve of it
    RP - I do...haven't in a while though
    LARP - Y'all bother me
    What are your weightloss goals - 200 lbs...bench 325.
    How many pounds have you lost - See below

    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!

    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.

    Hi,

    I'm Josianne :3 . . . and I suck at introductions, forgive me.

    I am a 21 year old female from New Brunswick, Canada. I work full time at Service Canada as a Client Service Representative(basically front desk). Whenever i'm at work I have to look at dressed up and wear this uncomfortable clothes, and remove my piercings (those judgemental ba******). Whenever I'm at home.. it's game time.

    For many years all I did was work then come home to sit on my bum and play video games. I finally decided that it was time to change this up and lose this gamer weight I've gained in the past couple of years, heh.

    I am a HUGE FFXI addict. I've been playing the game since 2008(?) and never have I stopped since then(I still play it daily). Before that it was Runescape... and omg, I wouldn't stop playing that one either... that is of course... until I found FFXI :3. I own an Xbox360, Wii, PS2, PS3 and of course a PC in which I do own a Steam account.. However I tend to play on the 360 more often. I like a variety of games... Dragon Age, Assassin's Creed, Fable, Black Ops(Modern Warfare), Smash Bro's, Metal Gear Solid, Half life, Portals, Left for dead... blah blah blah, the list goes on.

    Feel free to add me on Steam or XBL. I spend a lot of my time there when I am done my exercises for the day! :P (You can ask me my username)

    I started my journey at 150.2 and am now 140.2, I am looking to get to my goal weight... which would be around 120~

    Hey, I'm Harrison.
    I am 6' 2" weighing in at 105kg and 18 years old.
    I've never RPed, but want to try it one day and LARP even more so!
    I want to get down to 90 kg and build muscle from then on but neither is going to happen very quickly if i don't get off my butt and do some excercise. I am a pretty big gamer so its been quite an issue ><.
    I`d love it if anyone wants to add me. Motivation is a lot easier get if there's someone else around, right?

    My gamertag is also HBombzorz. Currently playing BF3, ssx, skyrim and I'll rarely turn down L4D2 :). Feel free to add me just let me know who you are xD.

    Hey!

    Wayne here, trying to lose the excess before I am too deep into my forties, 39 right now. Currently at 255 and will eventually be under 200. After that I will evaluate my actual target weight. I am into all sorts of games, but focus on MMORPGs. Play WoW mostly, but also have played Rift, SWToR and GW2 (just started) during the lulls. I am a pretty casual player currently 1-2 hrs most nights during the week. Used to be a hard core raider, but got burnt out. When not playing games, I am working (Nuke Engineer), playing sports (mostly soccer), watching sports (the kids), being as good a husband as I can and "living like Larry!"

    Hi all!,

    I'm Colin from Bristol in the UK. I am a regular PS3 gamer and like any games (excluding Hannah Montana obviously!) PSN ID: gingellc77. I usually play FPS like COD, Bioshock, Resistance, etc but also like hack'n'slash like God of War and Darksiders. Constant gaming, junk food and lack of exercise allowed me to swell up to 120kg. So far i have managed to get down to 109kg with plans continue losing until i am below the 100kg target.

    You get it!
    Hello, I'm Renee from Arlington Texas. I'm a 33 year old woman who's been large all her life. I got into MMORPG and the internet when I was in college. I do a little RP in Second Life as a Orc/Elf hybrid. I'm a little LARP-curious, but at 300lbs I can't really run around in the woods in a bikini. I need to lose as much weight as I can. Right now my goal is down to 250. I just started with MFP so I havn't lost any yet.
    I havn't seen a beach in years, but if you give me a kayak I'll be happy.
  • Hello!

    I'm Jes, a 25 female from the midwest. I go by jessers or Gia, never really settled on a gamertag that screamed me. It took me over half a year to think of a derby name... Which I ref for, don't play. Just to get that straight. Rambling is an important part of intros, right? No? right...

    I don't rp, and I defantily don't LARP. Maybe if I did I'd be thinner. I started in 180s, so I've lost about 10 pounds, but I still have about 50 to go. If I get to 130s by next year, I'm going to SDCC. :)

    As for games... I mainly play WoW (yeah, I know... ew) but I also love Reach and Bioshock. I'm excited for Halo 4, unlike everyone else I know. Um... that's mainly it!

    Dungeons and Dragons almost every weekend with my friends, and I do cosplay and occasionally attack my friends iwht foam swords if that counts as LARPing XD
  • Me? Who are you? My name is Erica. I'm 35, I started playing games on the awesomeness of the Atari... and yes, loved "computer" day in school so I could play Oregon Trail. I'm female, or at least I was the last time I checked. I mean, when I play Munchkin sometimes I'm forced to become a man, but I'm pretty sure that isn't long lasting. Yes, I RP, last table top gaming scenario was in Game of Thrones. No, there is no LARPing going on where I am, however, I am a SCAdian and that means I'm awesomer than a LARPer, yeah, I went there. My goal is to lose weight, yes. I haven't lost anything yet. I don't have a beach so no to walk on the beach.

    Let's see, recent games I've been playing: Diablo III on the PC (before that Skyrim and Sims 3). On Xbox 360 I'm now playing Borderlands 2... oh yeah!!! Um, I don't really play much on the wii, that's more for my kids.

    Pleasure to meet you all!

    My name is Tonya and I am a nerdy female in her early 20s. I'm here to work on maintaining health more than anything else. My nerdiness is pretty extensive. I am a crazy huge fan of the Final Fantasy games, but I am also a poor fan. With no computer or PS3, I am working on catching up with the series. I have VI and III left to go before I absolutely must find a way to own a computer. I figure, if I wait a few years, maybe I'll get lucky and the PS4 will play PS3 games. I am also a huge fan of books. My list of books I want to read is nearly as long as the list of books I've read. I thought vampires were cool before it was popular and have a number of young adult series that I am still following. In addition, I am currently making my way through The Wheel of Time series and hope to jump on The Game of Thrones after that. I also love anime and manga, although financial constraints have had a dramatic effect on my consumption. My all time favorite animes are DragonBall Z and Rurouni Kenshin.

    If only I could build websites, I would be the complete nerd. ^_^
  • HELLO, I AM APRIL AND I LOVE ME SOME VIDEO GAMES I AM WORKING ON BORDERLANDS 2 RIGHT NOW WHICH IS MAKING IT HARD TO GET THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF SLEEP ; /.

OK WELL THATS SOME ABOUT ME I KINDA JUST RAMBLE ALOT ABOUT THINGS SORRY. :)

    Hi, I'm Jeff... 27 years old. I don't really play games that much anymore just due to lack of time to play but I do occasionally when I have free time. The last games ive played were battlefield 3 and diablo 3 for pc and trying to finally finish the first assassins creed on xbox (jmc0806 is my gamertag on there) As for my weight loss I started at 345lbs unfortunately but I've lost 106lbs since January of this year and I hope to lose another 30 or 40 before I'm done.

    I'm Erik... 32 years old and work for a BioTech company. Huge Wisconsin Badgers/GreenBay Packers fan... In my gaming life I've played WoW since launch but currently enjoying Borderlands 2 on xbox. A few past personal favorite games include: SWTOR, Uncharted Series, Assassin's Creed series, Call of Duty, FFVII, Star Wars - Galaxies (before they tried to make it WoW), the Total War & Civilization PC gaming series. (built my first custom computer earlier this year as well)

    Never got into the LARP stuff but to each their own... Walks on the beach? Depends with who... but sure I guess!

    Lost 40lbs already and looking to drop another 50-60lbs or so, but really just want to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

    Pleasure to meet you all!

    24 y/o female. I'm a bit too shy for RP or LARP, but I play WoW and have for about 6 years. I also work for a video game company in QA. My job is very sedentary and demanding at certain times of the project cycle. I also enjoy RP games, such as Persona.

    I'm 5'2" 215#. I have lost 45# since last September. I've been yo-yoing since February at my current weight. I've recently re-committed, and watching my caloric intake while working out like a beast.

    My ultimate goal is to get to a healthy BMI, and be strong. My 'healthy' weight is about 130, but 160 would still be great.

    Anyone in the Baton Rouge area - feel free to add me. I'd LOVE to meet new people.

    I'm Mike; I'm a 32 year old male (if you can't tell) and I live in Maryland. I'm a data analyst for my local school system and an avid gamer. I've played video games all the way back to the Atari days, and have loved every minute of it. I've also played pen-and-paper RPG's since high school.

    I mainly play RPG's and RTS, but I'm a pretty active Battlefield 3 player as well. I also play fighting games, but I'm pretty picky, sticking mostly with Mortal Kombat 9 and King of Fighters these days. My wife and I are currently addicted to Borderlands 2, after sufficiently stomping the first one to death.

    My weight-loss journey has been...bumpy to say the least. At my worst, I was 310 lbs. Over the past several years, I've lost 80. I started MFP in February at 233, lost 33, and gained it all right back due to work stress and illness. I'm back on the right track, but it's a battle. My ultimate goal is to get back down to 180, my high school weight. Ideally, I'd like to see 160 within the next year or two.

    Anyway, good to meet everyone!
