    Mornin peoples!! If you mentioned the word WOW in your post, I added you :wink: My profile is filled out with all the goodies about me and why I'm on MFP. Like it says I am a recovering WOW addict. My addiction started out of spite. My late hubby was playing Everquest and ignoring me. So instead of nagging I started playing WOW. Which was a lil before BC was released. It was a love created out of rage and lasted for so long for all the wrong reasons lol!

    I stopped playing within the first week of Panda's. Most of my closest friends were gone, I hadn't been an active raider anyways, Anyone that I could stand (and vice versa) to do arena with was gone. I literally was on to just chase transmog gear, dailies, and farm. Sad, i kno! So I told Blizz to shove it and went to the gym. Do I have bank toons with too much mats and over 50k saved up for panda's that's just sitting there for no reason? (and NO u can't haz my gold! ) Yup, that was my big plan and it worked out great :grumble:

    Well, I took WOW off my comp and authenticator off my phone. I just don't think i'll ever have the courage to actually type in DELETE! We will see. Feel free to add me. I'm a huge dork, so this is your warning!

    I'm Dani, 22 years old in a few weeks. I'm about to graduate from university in Oregon.

    I'm 5'6" and weigh about 185 right now. I used to be in pretty good shape before college, but I gained about 30 pounds since freshman year. I'm looking to weigh around 135 ultimately, but anything below 150 sounds fantastic right now.

    I primarily play PC games, but a few years back I got into console gaming, too (I own a 360).

    I play Borderlands (1 & 2), Skyrim, Dishonored, Fallout (3 & NV), Tropico 4, Fable 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Alan Wake, Bastion, The Walking Dead, BioShock, Portal (1 & 2), Age of Empires, and Syberia.

    I have a little over 100 games in my Steam library, and about 30 games on my 360.

    Uh, I'm from the internet, too. I have a me gusta bumper sticker on my car.

    Hey everybody!
    My name is Amber. I'm a geek, a PC gamer and I love all things Star Wars. I don't own any consoles (yet, I'm waiting for my boys to ask me for one before I go out and buy one lol) but I play several PC games, including SWTOR, SC2 and occasionally GW2. I'm a stay at home mom to two boys, a 3 year old and a 1 month old. I have very little time these days to play anything, which makes me very sad LOL

    I used to be a big WoW player but have since left the game - and intend on staying away. It's been about 1.5 years since I stopped playing and I can't say I miss it much.

    My husband has also joined MFP and this group, as he's one of my motivators. I have about 30 lbs to lose before I can consider myself in the "healthy" range of weight. I've never put much effort into losing weight before, and I figured that the after baby period would be a good time to start. I have a lot of baby weight to get rid of!
  • My name is Michael I am twenty eight and a husband to one and parent to two. I like to RP but not always, don't often LARP because there aren't enough people in my area to do that, oh and because I'm usually too busy being a parent. I am 185 lb right now and I'd like to either turn the fat I have into muscle and stay the same weight or drop some pant sizes and lose the gut that I've started to form. Since this is my third day on a routine I haven't lost any pounds yet, just getting started.
    I like being active and going for walks to parks and hikes, beaches yes. I love to swim but don't usually get time alone to work out while swimming. I like RTS and mmrpg's, not a big fan of FPS but there are some that I enjoy. I'm a picky gamer, there's really only a small number of games that I consider good and play. I'm a sci-fi junky and love anything in that category. I always love seeing gamers that are in shape and that's what I plan to become. In shape!
    Thanks for the read.

    Hello!!! I am new to this group sorta. Name is Alicia, I'm 25. Live Downriver in MI. I started off at 145 or 148lbs, now I am at 139, trying to get to 135 and more toned body. MFP has been great with my weight loss!
    I have played video games since I was little. My Mom and Dad still had a Ateri, we had sega Playstation, N64, Dreamcast, Ps2, and now I just own a 360.

    I love shooters, fighting, and driving games. Top games include Left 4 Dead (loooove zombies!), Resident Evil series, Batman, The Sims, Tomb Raider (the good ones), GTA, Tekken, Gears of War, FEAR, Bioshock, Silent Hill, Alan Wake, Need For Speed and more! I have to get the newest Borderlands, Bioshock and Tomb Raider and a couple more. I have a 6 month old son and sub full time so I rarely get to play now-a-days.
    I stopped playing RPGs. I loved Breathe of Fire and the first few Final Fanstay games. I still miss old school games like Crash, Die Hard, Tomba, (Sega) Streets of Rage, Wiz and Liz, Battletech, Toe jam and Earl.

    Hi,

    I am more gamer-friendly than gamer myself. Most people I socialise with are into games and find the 'gamer' crowd more like-minded that other groups (like sporty people, even though the two are not mutually exclusive).

    I am a New Zealander, 5'8" (173 cm), and just reached 72.2 kgs. Not sure what my final goal. Aiming for 68 kg before reassessing my goal.

    Feel free to add my, my diary is open to friends.
  • My name is Timmy. From Washington. 27...

    I enjoy Classical music, mostly of the Baroque Period, and Romantic Period. My favorite composers are Lully, Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Boccherini. I also listen to classic rock such as Queen, Van Halen, Elton John, David Bowie, Bon Jovi, The Who, The Beatles, Aerosmith.

    I have grown up on video games. Since the early days of Genesis and SNES. I have always played them, all varieties, every generation. I still mourn the untimely demise of the Dreamcast. My favorite games; Final Fantasy games, BioShock, Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed, Dragon Age, Gran Turismo, Super Street Fighter 4, Zelda games, Pokemon games, Persona games, Disgaea. I love to play RPGs mostly.

    I like to watch anime, and have done so since I was a teenager. I love the animation style as well as the ability to tell a story with the dramatic and emotional feeling that movies have, with being able to be outlandishly ridiculous in their execution. Some of my favorites are Fullmetal Panic, Full Metal Alchemist, Gundam, Naruto, Blood+, Air, Paranoia Agent, Hellsing, Rurouni Kenshin, Death Note, Sword Art Online, Clannad: Afterstory, Gunslinger Girl, Heibane Renmei, Mirai Nikki.

    Additionally, I enjoy comic books. I have loved the superhero stories since I was a young child watching cartoons of X-Men and Batman. The comics I read are; Batman, Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny X-Force, Deadpool, Wolverine and the X-Men, Dark Wolverine, Chew, The Walking Dead, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. My main block will always be Marvel. X-Men have been my favorite stories for a while.

    I am a nerd, to the core. It is who I am, and who I will always be.

    ((Formerly Bubsys_mom. New account, just re-posting my info.))

    Hi

    I am Ash, 26, married, and have a 13 month old. I am from Southern USA. I have played games since I can remember, but mostly am just into PC games now, mainly WoW. I play Horde and Alliance and have 2 90's, 87, and working on lvl'ing a monk as well. My main is a worgen druid and I raid with her.

    I started gaining weight in 8th grade, which is when I stopped playing sports and some health issues arised. I have been "stuck" in weight since high school, fluctuating between 225-245 lbs. My highest was when I was pregnant, so I won't count that. lol

    I am currently 235 lbs. My goal is to get to 140 lbs; but honestly, if I feel and look great above that I would be good! I am kinda stocky built so even when I actually was skinny, my weight was still more than "normal". I am also short...5'2"....>.>

    I am Zomoniac. I have too many games. I love Shenmue very much. I hate JRPGs. I would rather be anally probed with a machete than play an MMORPG. I am not very good at games. Except Rock Band, Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi, I can do them. I'm Zomoniac on XBL, PSN (PS3 and Vita), Wii U and Steam. Nice and easy to remember.

    Hi all --

    I am a 25 year old gamer from Wisconsin. I've been playing games since I was young, back to Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda on the NES.

    I tend to enjoy mostly Adventure/RPG games, though I step outside that occasionally. Lately I've been playing the crap out of Borderlands 2 and Dishonored.

    I am married and have a wonderful 7 year old stepson and a 4 month old daughter, so life is busy and gaming time is short, but I make due with the time I have :)

    Hi everyone!

    I'm Chelsea 23 years old, graduate student, and gamer (when I have time). I'm living in El Paso, TX right now and trying to lose about 100 lbs. I've already lost about 20 lbs but plenty left to lose.

    I usually just play my preferential games because I do not have a lot of time to try a bunch of random games.
    I love Halo 4, actually I've been a huge Halo fan since the begining with Halo. I also play world of warcraft with two level 90's, a mage and a death night.

    If anyone wants to play Halo 4 or discuss WoW just message me.

    Everyone here can maintain there love of gaming and still lose weight. I truly believe its all about moderation.

    Hi everyone :)

    My name is Rayce and I'm a 38 year old gamer geek. I still have my old atari and games in a container in my closet but I've upgraded to playing my PS3 and my PC. I'm mostly a PC gamer though.

    I play WoW, Starcraft II, Diablo 3, Conan and more. I simply don't have enough time in a week to play all the games I enjoy.

    Primarily I play World of Warcraft. I'm the Guild Leader of a guild with over 300 members and I love my friends there.

    As for why I'm here, I always promised myself I would not let myself get over 200. When I quit smoking I hit 196 and that was the stopping point for me. I started dropping the weight using another site and got down to 178. Then I stopped following my calorie intake, stop exercising and gained a bunch of it back. Now I'm using MFP and I'm already finding that the support of other people going through the same thing I am is wonderful.

    38, married mom geek gamer. I'm a raging Bioware fan girl -- Baldur's Gate, NWN, KOTOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect....sign me up. I also love Bethesda and Skyrim, Oblivion....pretty much RPGs, since FPS skills are iffy. I've played Halo with my hubby, and that was super amusing, since I tend to miss.

    I'm one of those weirdos that make fan art and fan fiction too, thought I probably shouldn't admit that in polite company.

    What's up? Eighteen year old female gamer from CANADA!

    I'm actually beginning to lose weight so I can start cosplaying at conventions, which I've always not done because I'm too ridiculously self conscious and weird.

    I'm a really big fan of RPGs, and I'm actually doing my fifth or sixth playthrough of Dragon Age Origins right now, but I'm generally very versatile when it comes to games. Name it, I probably do or will like it.

    I just moved out of my parents house, and OH MY GOD, I JUST BOUGHT PACMAN WALL VINYL FOR MY LIVING ROOM AND LIFE IS GREAT.

    I hope we can all be friends. :D

    Hi

    My name is Sean

    I own a comic/hobby/gaming store in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada

    Starting the weight loss journey at 310lbs and I am at 223 now. I am 6ft.

    I am mainly a PC gamer but love RPG games and will play them on any console. I favor the PS3.
    I play mostly MMO's but also PC RPGs like Skyrim.
    I mostly play WoW but I give most MMO's that come out a chance. GW, Rift, Star Wars, Anarchy, AC, Wizardry and more I can't even remember. Always back to WoW. Currently I am looking forward to the Skyrim MMO and will no doubt be giving Neverwinter Nights a chance.

    First off I would like to say it was awesome getting to read everyone's intro makes me feel like I am in the right place

    my Intro .... my name is Michael I have been into gaming since late 80's I still remember the Christmas I got the NES in fact one of my first memories lol.

    I love all styles of games mostly the RPG type ever since shining force on Genesis But I love all kinds of games from Madden to Halo, even cell phone games like Inotia or even doodle jump doesn't really matter its always been my comfort more than anything. UFC to Fallout. Only MMO i ever really got into was FF11 that game used to suck my life away. Many of my friends are gamers and I can remember highschool Halo lan parties and college drinking parties to smash brothers melee. I currently have a PS3 and have been playing a bunch of Assasins Creed 3 and Resident Evil 6. I have played all the final fantasies and am currently working on a list of about 30 old ps1 rpgs, after I realized I could get psx on my phone its kinda been over lol.

    I am engaged to an awesome Brazilian who is also a gamer, she loves guitar hero and mortal kombat.

    other nerd tendencies:

    I also play Gurps in a campaign thats been running almost a year now love it play a Dark Elf Ninja (yes my gm is cool enough to let me be a ninja)

    Love me some Anime most recent one I have been watching is Eureka seven AO seems pretty cool a couple episodes in. I can't really say my favorite but probably Outlaw Star

    Cartoons: still a huge fan of american cartoons as well the Ultimate spiderman is awesome! every saturday morning I still wake up early to catch some good ol sat morning cartoons.

    Comics: i think I developed all of my moral values from reading comic books lol. just started reading some walking dead

    Pretty much if it has to do with fantasy I love it... Game of Thrones probably the coolest show ever.

    anyway those are just a few of my nerd tendencies but it goes way deeper the more you get to know me lol. But I also love to party go to concerts festivals I am into martial arts 3rd gup in TKD about to start Krav Maga as soon as I loose a little bit more of the fat I have aquired by gaming and beer pong.

    So if you made it through my whole introduction and you think we will get along shoot my a friend invite I get along with everyone. I also am doing really well on my fitness journey the past 3 months I have knocked off 32 lbs 19 using MFP and am already over half way with my goal I love to support and just chat when I am bored. look forward to getting to know yall
  • Hello,

    I am another huge RPG fan and another multi-platform gamer. Currently playing more MMOs than console games but I hope to finish Mass Effect 3 on my PS3 soon.

    Just started my hand at losing weight and I currently weigh 194, hoping to get it down to around 165 for the short-term and 145-50 for the long term. I love going to the conventions and losing the right amount of weight while toning will help me cosplay as a Desire Demon from Dragon Age! The costume will be altered to be kid friendly and I intend to put my own creative twist on it!

    Hi all,
    I'm Melissa from Oregon. 33 y/o single mom to a teenage freshman/spawn from the underworld.
    I play WoW and am trying to get around to playing other games too.
    Looking for friends.
    I'm aiming to lose approx 100 lbs (nice round number).
  • Hello,

    I'm Brandon from Atlanta, Georgia. I'm 26 yrs old and majoring in Construction Engineering at Southern Polytechnic State University. You can catch me as a zombie in season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead. I started using MFP today, and went out and bought the fitbit one tracker and the aria scale. Trying to get more into shape as filming for season 4 begins in May and I don't want to be the only overweight zombie!

    I'm currently 212lbs and my goal is to get down to at least 160. I'm only 5'7 so I'm way over my limit for my height right now. Also diabetes runs in my family and I'm trying to avoid that as best I can and losing this weight will definitely help with that.

    You can find me on Xbox Live playing pretty much anything. the only genre I really don't get into is MMORPG. Just never been into it really. My gamer tag is Rebel dawg.. Feel free to send me a friend request and let me know that you are from here and I'll be sure to add you and we can play and motivate each other!

    Oh hai there!

    I'm a 22 year-old Convention and Cosplay major with a minor in video game geekery. If you can't tell from my profile pic, I am a raging Mass Effect fan. I am 5'2" and looking to lose about 20lbs. Just started the 30 Day Shred, and I do Krav Maga every week. If you haven't heard of that, you should check it out! You learn how to be a complete murderous badass AND get a great workout!

    I'm really into cosplay, and that's part of why I am here pushing myself to get fitter. I want to really look smashing in that N7 armor.

    My top favorite games are and likely always will be the Mass Effect series, dragon age series, red dead redemption, Far Cry 3, and the elder scrolls games. Bioshock infinite is also making major headway into those ranks. I'm about 7 hours into it and hooked.

    Hello!

    I'm Izalie, a 19 year old mostly rpg-er, though I do play other games from time to time. I'm currently 130lbs aiming to lose 24lbs. I play anything from Dragon Age, Oblivion, Zelda and Fable to Mass Effect and Star Wars Force Unleashed 2. I mostly stick to PC, Playstation and Nintendo 64. I am also a big fan of the Final Fantasy series from 1-10, my favourite being either 4 or 9.

    I would like to be confident enough to cosplay as Morrigan from Dragon Age and Dagger from Final Fantasy 9 as well as some anime characters (mentioned in my profile).

    Good luck to everyone with achieving their goals.

    Hello everyone! I'm KaosRift, by Kaos is fine :D
    I'm a 23 year old female gamer from western Louisiana.
    I'm 5'7" and my long term goal is to lose 150 pounds. I've lost about 15 since this time last year.
    I've been playing games since before I could walk, grew up on classic Nintendo and then the SNES. Used to play lots of platformers, but now I'm more into RPGs. Got a 360, PS3, wii, and 3DS. Lots of games for all. Currently playing through The Walking Dead for the first time, which mostly consists of me pausing it and yelling at boyfriend when I have to make a tough decision. Used to play WoW, but need a new PC. LOVE Diablo II, and my favorite game in the whole world is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

    38 year old Vic20-Spectrum-Atari ST-Amiga-PC nostalgic gamer here (you'll never beat the music in Treasure Island Dizzy on the Amiga) with consoles of every description sitting under desks - rarely used. When not working, could previously be found running with necros all over Tyria,, and will probably be doing the same with Guild Wars 2 when time permits.

    Goal is to get back to being a lot healthier than I am right now.

    Hi everyone!

    I've been on mfp for a little while now, but am finally getting around to saying what's up to you all. I'm mostly an rpg gamer: DQ series (monsters too), final fantasy and recently tired Pokemon for the first time (white version 2). I also like puzzle games and tactics games.

    I wanted to post that we got a call from our incredibly kind neighbor, per our suggestion he bought nino kuni and beat it and now wants to lend it to us :love: I'm super excited!!

    For workouts, I do strength training, Zumba, spinning and uphill treadmill sometimes.
    A pleasure to meet y'all. :flowerforyou:
