in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking for some friends to support and help support me on this crazy journey called fitness.

I'm a mom of two beautiful children, so I deffinetly wouldn't mind other Mom friends.
I'm a gamer, have been all my life. Video games are my biggest hobbie and I don't think that'll ever change!
Also, I'm a bit of a nerd or dork or whatever you wanna call it. I love anime, video games, all things fantasy related and spend a little too much time watching documentaries, haha.

I'm open to any friends but I figured I may as well tell a little about myself! See you folks on the other side.

    I am also a mom and gamer. I mostly play rpg games on my ps3, which right now is Ni No Kuni. I am a major nerd, and I love reading science fiction and fantasy in my free time. I sent you a request. Anyone can feel free to add me. The support on this site is great.

    I'm a step mum (but she doesn't live with us:cry: ) and a total geek... I've been a gamer since I can remember, I'm lucky to have a geeky dad who showed me the way lol.

    Most recently I've played WoW but decided to take a break as I always get too caught up in it, and I'm just so busy with my studies and RL right now. Will definitely be checking out the Elder Scrolls Online when it's released though - I'll make time!

    Anyone feel free to add me, would love to have more geek friends :smile:

    OHAIGUYZ!!!! I saw gamer and had to click!!! So we already know where my head is at. I am a recovering WOW addict. I can admit this now. I stopped playing last October. Yup, that's right! Pandas came out, I downloaded it, played a week of it, and just cancelled. I've played since vanilla and just thought "Ugh, I have to do this again!?!?! F@#$* you Blizz, I'm going to the gym!" I will admit it was months before I took it off my comp and only just recently took authenticator off my phone. Even baby steps can set you free!!!

    Enough about my gaming history...which BTW i do not miss at all!!! Most of the time :P I do have 2 kids, 9 and 16. I work at a pawn shop....who needs reality TV when your life is one AMIRITE? I live in Florida now but will always be a So Cal girl. Big anime and horror fan. When i'm working out it's Dubstep, Dancehall, or Reggaeton. I like Bass...ALOT!

    I'm new to myfitnesspal. I unfortunately do smoke. Well I was just doing fine until recently. I went to the gym and did my normal workout and when I was done I had these pains in my chest. And it wasn't the normal being lazy and out of shape pains, it actually hurt!!! I never say i'm going to quit smoking because that just me BS'n. My biggest fear has always been to quit and then gaining an insane amount of weight. So I have set a weight goal for myself and at that point I will stop smoking. I figured if I can train my body into better eating habits than my body won't go into a feeding frenzy once I do quit smoking. IDK how it will work but all the voices in my head agree this is a great plan! lol

    Anyways, I didn't realize I just typed a novel. Hope it was a good read at least :) Feel free to add me. I haz no candy to get you in the van but it'll still be a great ride for sure!!!

    Hello,

    While I'm not a mom, I AM a dad, which is pretty cool.

    I'm a gamer too. I've always been into long winded RPGs (The Elder Scrolls games and Final Fantasy series have all put significant strains on my social life over the years), but over the past year or so I've fallen in love with shorter, more poignant adventures like Limbo, Braid, The Walking Dead, and the hilariously named Cute Things Dying Violently.

    I do believe I could be classified as a nerd. I'm a science fiction writer and a sci-fi fan in general. I spend too much of my free time learning about warp drives and quarks and chemistry.

    Not that you asked or anything, but I figured what the hell? We're all sharing, right?

    Feel free to add me. See ya around.

    Me too! Nice to find some likeminded folks on here.
    I am a huge PC gamer and a huge Valve fan. I love their games because they are absolutely timeless.
    Actually, one of my goal weight rewards are cosplaying as Chell & a portal gun for a photoshoot.

    Mom, gamer nerd oh yes! lol I love fantasy novels my kindle has nothing but fantasy and sci-fi. I don't have as much time as I used to for games (I'm a single mom 3 kids and 50 hour work week) but when I do it's FFXI, WOW, Skyrim, our xbox 360 and our ps3 I leave the Wii for the kids lol

    I put on 100lbs about 5yrs ago and did nothing about it. During my last pregnancy I lost 40lbs (morning sickness never went away) and since I started on MFP almost 2 months ago I've lost 23lbs (whoohoo!!). I have another 57 to go and I'd love friends along the way.

    add me add me add me lol =)

    If the user name didn't already give it away, I don't know what will! Ha.

    I'm a Mom of two wonderful and handsome boys, 10 and 8. I'm teaching them the art of being nerdy! There's no other way to be in my book! Ha. I'd say I'm a gamer, I love my Xbox. *swoons* But I also LOVE to write old school fantasy forum RP. I love to write my own stories! I used to love anime, Chobits was one of my favorites. As I have gotten older, I have drifted apart from it. However, my eldest has taken a huge interest in it, all on his own.

    I'm obsessed with anything pertaining to Zombies. OBSESSED! Nothing like a good end of the world scenario where you get to kill things with no consequences. Ha. ;)

    However, gaming has lead to many social struggles for myself. ie; Blowing off RL to be consumed and enveloped into the virtualish world. But I'm recovering, slowly but surely.

    Anyone can feel free to add me, if they wish.

    Been addicted to games ever since, well I guess at my place now it seems forever lol

    I had a bad addiction to wow for about 5 years but I broke that when I hit 40 and had my mid life crisis and quit smoking, lost 140lb and became a heath nut and my addiction of choice these days is a workout.

    My first post because this topic is so awesome & so me (although I'm not a mom, but I'm a Kindergarten teacher. So I kinda have 30 kids... right? lol) I love my xbox, pc & internets games, and books. Currently loving: Skyrim, Assasin's Creed III, Fat Princess, A Song of Ice and Fire book series.
    As for the gym, I've been loving Zumba, Spinning, and the boring ol' elliptical. Lucky for me at my gym they have tv's on the machines. Mwahaha!

    Anyone else on this thread can feel free to add me too! I needz buddies! *thumbs up*

    I'd love to be a mom one day, but for now I'll settle for being a nerd and occasional gamer. [adjusts glasses] (O-O)

    Hi there! I am a mom to an 18 month old little girl. I am getting married in June.
    I am a HUGE fangirl/nerd/geek & whathaveyou. Also love gaming. Everything from RPG to First person shooter. Haha

    I am only 22 but the 20lbs I have gained since having my daughter has just thrown me for a loop. I am at the point where I realize that I can take care of my daughter/be a good mom but I still need to take care of myself as well.

    Would be nice to have some people to chat with for that extra motivation though :))

    I love Mmorpg online games. My favorites being Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and Asheron's Call. World of Warcraft was decent too, but the gear grind got old fast. I'm hoping Camelot Unchained can breathe some new life into mmorpg's and get back to old school style. I will be trying out Elder Scrolls Online, The Black Desert, and Archeage when they come out. Hopefully, one will be decent.

    I currently meet 2 out of the 3 categories. I'm not a mom yet, but hope to be in the next year or two. During my spare time, if I don't have my face in a book or if I'm not watching a superhero movie, I'm usually playing games. Hubby and I play World of Warcraft, Rift, Aion, and Skyrim.

    I also spend a fair amount of time on this site, but I suppose that's a given for most of us :happy:

    YAY I meet all too lol. I have a 1 y/o little guy and love LOVE games, all kinds, except shooters, can't stand them. In fact I currently want to take a hammer to my fiance's Black Ops 2 game. But that's mostly because whenever he's on it, all I hear are little kids cussing and I"m all "did that 11 year old really just say what I think he did?!" My poison has always been Final Fantasy and WoW, I've played since right before BC launch. But I've pretty much decided to not renew my sub when it's up in 2 weeks. I haven't played in over a week and I'm just sick of it. I'd rather play Sims lol or anything that's not a shooter.

    Anyone feel free to add me if I haven't already added them, I like to see activity in my friends feed!
