    I'm a huge fan of Fitocracy. Fitness for Geeks. You level up and compete against others on the website. They have an Iphone App, but the Android is still in beta. Definitely something to check out. There's quests, challenges, plus your everyday "grinding" to level yourself. Check it out.

    I need to try this out...

    I'm very friendly and I don't bite. :)

    Computer whiz so I've been called. Hasn't helped me in the weight department. Time to nip it in the bud.

    My typical response would be something along these lines:

    Bah weep gra naa weep ninnybong, gimme some sugar baby, wibbly wobbly timey wimey, I aim to misbehave, what are you doing dave, I love you, I know, bazinga, you gotta pay the troll toll, I am the last of the brunan G, careful where you tread, cleric, fear is the mindkiller, omega hedron, lament configuration, great scott, cage goes in the watah, shaaks in the watah, white star fleet, engage, flux capacitor, the truth is out there, cal-el, have you turned it off and turned it back on again? I'm a lady, that's what she said, shiny, smeg, I've got a plan that so cunning you could pin a tale on it and call it a fox, my apartment smells of rich mahogany, it's got to be at least ... three times that size, so what do you actually DO around here, you've got red on you, you ain't seen Bad Boys Two???

    That enough?

    Absolutely!!!

    I'm a board gamer geek mainly but I've been known to play a few video games, love love love reading, and go to *cons every now and then.

    Also, I have an extremely geeky/nerdy job...I'm a geneticist.

    Dell Enterprise Associate by day. Gamer by night. I fix 'em, I use 'em, I game with em. BF3 all the way, and COD 4 MW(1) are two I play most. Computers have been a big part of my life. I know the feeling of just vegging out in front of the PC. I have completely changed my ways after day 1 with this site. One of my other gamer buddies asked me what I ate calorie wise before this site. I told him I have no idea because once I saw it all down, I just started following it. It must have been huge (3000 plus a day). You are welcome to add me.

    Hello. You have a great way of looking at your situation. I am 70 and am trying to loose the weight I gained since I retired just spending most of my day in front of a computer screen. I even tried to find ways of loosing weight at the computer. I tried swivel chair aerobics (kept hitting my printer with my butt), under the desk peddles (kept hitting my knees on the bottom of the desk) and even stretch bands (knocked my monitor off the back of my desk). I got hooked on online games, YouTube, Netflix and anything else I could find that would keep me sitting at my computer. The first thing I do in the morning is flick on the pc and I flick it off just before I go to bed. Sometimes I lay in bed and think about something and jump out of bed and turn on the pc to get the info I need. Now I have worked cooking and exercise into my routine, but still find time on the pc, I love cooking so I look up recipes and make myself cook the item (you have to be away from the pc to cook and you burn calories cooking). Joined MFP so now I am accountable to people. You don't want to look bad so you have to watch your diet and exercise enough to post something. There are so many ways you can turn your computer into ways of helping yourself keep in shape. I just closed all my accounts on Evony, but I still keep up with Farmville, and my daughter still has me playing Minecraft.

    Sounds like we are operating at around the same hours. It is hard. I'm totally willing to motivate and receive motivation in return.

    I guess I'll FINALLY get to put that Wii Fit I bought about 2 years ago to use. It is still in the box, no joke.

    Friend me!

    I am not a geek. In fact I am the ultimate in cool. Steve McQueen could've even taken lessons from me. Oh yeah.

    However, I do catch an episode of "Big Bang Theory" every now and then, and I do know the lyrics to the soft kitty song. Feel free to add me to your friends list.

    Geek FTW!

    I love gaming (PC, 360, PS3 and all the old school consoles). Currently I am knee deeps BLOPS 2, Halo 4, Forza Horizon and it is sure cutting into my workout time. I also enjoy watching horror movies when not gaming. I review both movies and games for a few websites so spare time is pretty rare. My inner geek can rage pretty hard if a decent tabletop or board game appears before me.

    Feel free to add me. :laugh:
