Hi y'all. I'm Kristen, Alan's girlfriend and warehouse manager of DFTBA Records. I've also lost quite a bit already, but still have a ways to go before I feel like I'm done.

I'm currently attempting "calorie cycling", where I vary my calories each day (ie 1200 one day, 1800 the next, 1500 after that), along with various workouts 6 days a week. I've been stuck on a plateau for what seems like FOREVER. Bah.

Hope to see some more Nerdfighters active and getting healthy

Hi I'm Victoria, and I'm trying to loose the 3 stone I've gained whilst at uni and trying to improve my fitness to help my asthma.

I'm taking time out of studying astrophysics because I've been unwell and running and eating well are also helping me get better!

I'm generally trying to have about 1500 calories (this sometimes goes out the window, like last night when I went to a chapel discussion group where we are provided with LOTS of cheese fruit and booze...) and do some for of exercise each day (mainly running 5km, but also plying frisbee/basketball/football).

Hi! I'm Catherine. I'm a Sherlockian, a Whovian, and a Ravenclaw. I also really love Jekyll, Game of Thrones, Being Human, and The Hunger Games. I'm a big fan of all things space and I stan NASA really hard. I'm studying Family and Child Sciences and Women's Studies in university and I'm particularly interested in human sexuality and women's/LGBTQ+ rights and health. I have a deep need to learn everything I can and often lose myself clicking from article to article on Wikipedia...

Less nerdy, I sing, too. I did choir through middle and high school and I record a lot, sometimes alone and sometimes with my boyfriend.

I've got over 100 pounds left to lose. I got blood work done for the first time recently and found out my cholesterol is sky high and I'm prediabetic. Definitely need to change these things while I still can. I'm struggling with an eating disorder I've had for over eight years which makes it all pretty difficult, but I have a treatment team (finally!) keeping an eye on me and making sure I do this healthily. The weight loss will be absolutely amazing, but mostly, I just look forward to feeling better.

Hi guys! I cannot share my real name, because it is too obscure to share on the internet. I love literature, it is my favorite thing in the entire world. I took a pre-1850'sish survey of literature class and it was my absolute favorite class I had ever taken at my college. My favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Joey Comeau and a few others. My absolute favorite show is Firefly, but right now I'm loving me some Community.

I've been overweight my entire life and I would like to give not being overweight a try. I have about 44 lbs to lose to achieve this goal. I am an avid cyclist and this summer I've been riding 20+ miles 4 days a week for my commute to work instead of taking public transit and riding roughly 7 miles.

Hey all!
My name is Sarah. I was first introduced to John Green over the summer. I was working at a summer camp and ran out of things to read and found LFA for my kindle. I feel as though I have quickly caught up. I read, knit, and sew. I am part of a group of historical re-enactors, which takes up a lot of my time.

Hey all - I'm Anna! I also can't believe I waited this long to search for nerdfighters here! I'm a long standing, very deep Lord of the Rings fan/nerd (to the point where I spent some time studying Sindarin, and where I can do elven calligraphy), as well as a Potterhead. I don't do much with the current TV-show based fandoms, but I'm a big fan of the (original books) Sherlock Holmes.

I play WoW, did a stint in SWTOR but never got hooked, and have been toying around with trying to find an RP guild on LOTRO to play with. I'm an avid tabletop gamer, even though I'm relatively new to that particular nerd-sport, and a voracious reader. I've got a degree in music history (which I'd love to continue on into academia, but I needed a job to afford that and... well, now it's sort of a pipe dream). I played in the SCA for awhile, but have been inactive since my job kind of sucked away what free time I used to have for playing.

I'm looking for more friends and community here on MFP, since up until now it's really just been me logging on my own. Feel free to add me (just leave a note that you found my intro post here, so it's not a blank friend request!), and DFTBA!

Hello everyone! I sent you all friend requests because I would love to have some fellow nerdfighters on my friend list. I'm Sarah, and I am a reader, cyclist, and Sherlockian!
