Hey there!

I'm 20, I'm a gamer, and I am DEFINITELY trying to lose weight.

I was doing amazingly well this summer, and then went back to college after and got back into eating junk food 24/7.

I love playing League of Legends, Counter Strike, Castle Crashers, any FPS basically, any RPG, any Single Player, etc.

I play just about everything TBH.

I started at 270 this summer, dropped to 248.3, and gained back up to about 258-265 (too scared to check).

Now, I'm going to try doing the M-100s to get back into shape, and balancing my food out.

Awesome group!

I'm 33 and single with two sons ages 8 and 5. I started gaming on the old NES. I remember getting it for Christmas from my grandmother and going home Christmas night to hook it up to the black and white (yes black and white! Boom, ding, 80's! haha!) television that I had in my bedroom. I remember how mad I was when I beat Bowser for the first time and the princess was in another castle, I was instantly hooked.

I was doing console gaming exclusively until I got the first Diablo game for my 17th birthday from my uncle. Probably the best birthday present ever. I eventually ran an active guild that gamed together for years in various other games. My next game, which is my favorite game of all time, was Ultima Online. I played it on the OSI/EA servers for a few years and I have many of my fondest gaming memories from those days from '98 to '01. After EA made many changes that prevented me from having as much fun as I thought worth the monthly subscription fee my friends and I moved on to Dark Age of Camelot about a month after it's release. We had a fantastic time playing that game and did so for many years. I still re-activate about once a year to reminisce. I just don't have the time to play an MMO with so much required grinding anymore, alas.

Now when I game it's mostly on PS3 (Huzke on PSN) or I log into a free UO server and mess around on my bard. I love the Elder Scrolls series, especially Skyrim. I'm planning on playing Elder Scrolls Online when it drops as well.

Outside of PC/Console gaming I just started doing some Pathfinder tabletop gaming with my two sons. I wanted to try it and it was Christmas so i picked up a beginner's box and Rise of the Runelords mission book and we're playing through that. They absolutely love it and it's pretty good for their developing math skills. It's like story time, flashcards, and stabbing goblins in the face all rolled into one!

I just started using the MFP forums this weekend. I had no idea the forums and groups existed. I put MFP on my phone about a year ago and didn't really touch it until two months ago. I've lost about 35 pounds (hopefully more once I weigh in tomorrow). I used to weight over 300 pounds two years ago. Early last year I got down to 190 pounds but I gained a lot back, weighing in at 240 pounds. October 26th my girlfriend of almost a year broke up with me. The following Monday I changed my diet, got back into the gym, and started working my *kitten* off again. My sons deserve a happy, healthy, and confident father that values himself enough to improve maintain. My goal is to get to 160 lbs and single digit bodyfat.

Hey, nice to see this group here. From some of the ages I see, I feel like the very old man of the group.

I'm a PC gamer, have been since I can remember. I play a big mix of games but a lot of MMO's. I beta'd the original Everquest when it came out and played that for years and years. I currently play Eve On Line and Rift for MMO's and am finally getting close to finishing the main questline in Skyrim. When I don't feel like thinking much I load up Battlefield 3.

Good to meet you all.

Hi

I'm Warren from Gloucester, UK. I'm a 36 year old guy and I've been gaming for over 30 years now.

I love MMO's and I'm somewhat addicted to WoW (even though I'm trying to leave the game alone lol - been playing since day 1), but I will play just about anything. Currently playing through Skyrim, FarCry3, The Walking Dead, X3TC and more!

However, being sat on my *kitten* gaming means that My weight has increased. So for 2013 I'm looking to shed the pounds whilst still enjoying games. I'm aiming to balance exercise and gaming by rewarding myself with time in games based upon how much exercise I've done!

Wish me luck lol.

Please feel free to add me. Would love more like minded people as friends.

Hey y'all,

I'm a 23 year old console gamer who has been loving video games since before I could talk and played on my (and my siblings) Super Nintendo. I still play that same SN every once in a while since it has my favorite versions of Zelda, Mario World, and Mario Kart. I also love Dragon Age, Kingdom Hearts, Fable, and Soul Calibur.

I just joined MFP so I still have a lot of weight to loose but with work and time hopefully I can cosplay as Zelda without looking bad.

Hey Rlandbeck!

One of my earliest games was Battle Chess -- ..... I'd love to see the graphics now. They seemed so awesome when I was 8 or 9 or however old I was, and now they'd probably be scary. lol

I do believe the game you are referring to is Archon. I loved it myself, and I found a little bit of video on youtube showing how bad *I MEAN AWESOME* it was. Graphics in the 70's were amazing weren't they?

Hi all, I'm 40, and live in the Washington DC area, though Northern Virginia specifically. I've always been an FPS PC Gamer. All of the Quake's, UT, and Battlefield releases were my favs! I'm splitting time between BF3, MechWarrior Online and Borderlands2 these days. Oh, and any zombie killer game always gets me going.

Hello there.

Name is Tony. 30 yrs old, Happily Married to a Beautiful very understanding Wife with whom I have 3 very energetic children.
After being with my soul mate for over 8 years, I got "Comfortable" and let myself go. A lot of that is also due to snacking and gaming many hours, and living a 3rd shift life. I was in denial for so many years that my weight was starting to become a problem. I was also in denial that there was a program that could work for me, until my wife joined MFP about 2-3 months ago and has lost over 20lbs, I figured if she could do it, then dammit, so can I. Lol. So as cliche as it sounds, my promise to her was with the new year, I'd find a new me under all this weight and atleast make the attempt to better myself and try to get healthy. So far in the 6 days since I've joined I have lost over 7lbs. My current goal is to lose between 60-70lbs. No real time-frame to do it, so long as it stays off.

Now to the fun part.

I am a big time gamer, I have had almost every system since owing a NES, and Sega Genesis. But my current favorites are my self-built PC, and Xbox 360. I am a big MMORPG Junky, but currently I seem to be having a rough time finding a game I really want to stick with. As far as consoles go, I am big into RPGs, Racers, and Sandbox titles such as GTA and Saints Row. I do play FPS from time to time, but would easily turn them off to jump on a RPG.
I am a HUGE Zombie geek, and spent many many hours on the DayZ MOD in its early Alpha stages. But my obsession for Zombies expands past gaming and is pretty much present in all types of platforms.

Sorry for the wall of text, but for those of you that actually read through it, or even the ones that skipped to the end, I am always looking for more friendly motivation on MFP, so feel free to add me if you wish.

HI! I am a 26 year old video game geek. Like everyone, I've been gaming since I could hold a controller, and I never stopped. I prefer RPGs, MMORPGs and FPSRPGs (Bioshock, Fallout 3). I am a competitive person who gets every achievement I can and loves PVP! I was gladiator nearly every season in WoW.

My favorite all time games would be the Zelda Series, Kingdom Hearts, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, WoW and recently Guild Wars 2... but honestly, the list goes on and on. I have nearly every system invented since Atari and I enjoy playing all of them still. (Though since I put emulators on my newest gen systems, the original ones are collecting dust).

I LOVE the idea of a group of gamers supporting each other to lose weight. Gamers are my favorite people in the universe, and it sucks that our hobby of choice has left many of us a lil' chubby.

Think how many thousands of millions of miles our characters have run in their respective universes. Why can't we benefit from that?! Lol.

Add me!

Hey everyone,

Well I am a 23 (almost 24 year old) gamer girl, who started playing on the Genesis, unfortunately for my parents, I was more in love with Mortal Kombat 2 and Sonic rather then with the Lion King. I am now an avid PC/360 player and love everything RPG (although my favorite by far is Fallout 3). I also do a bit of tabletop using a D10 system called New World of Darkness. I have dabbled with WarHammer 40K and Magic the Gathering. Anyway, feel free to add me as a friend!

23 yr old gamer just looking to keep my maintenance, which is harder than it sounds. But I game on the daily, so feel free to add me .
