    Greetings and Salutations everyone! My name is Keith. I'm 33 and from the Hudson Valley, NY.

    2 years ago I had gastric-bypass and lost 95 lbs. Since I hit my lowest weight I've gained 35 of those lbs back. I'm currently on a high protein / low carb diet, and I stick to the Strong Lifts 5x5 routine which has been amazing.

    As for gaming - I own a PS3 and Wii, but PC games have always been my love. I had a love/hate relationship with Diablo 3 for the past year and a half since it came out. Currently I'm addicted to Guild Wars 2. I definitely prefer RPG type games. At least once a year I break out FF7 for 40-50 hours of pure enjoyment.

    26 (almost 27 eek I'm getting old) in the UK

    I love games but seem to have less and less time for them!

    A few years ago I loved Modern Warfare games, few years before that I was into Starcraft and Unreal Tournament.

    Just acquired a ps3 by moving in with my bf and am enjoying catching up on all Japanese style games/imports I couldn't have on my 360. (Just bought and on the pile to play are neptunia, gundam VS, disgea)

    I love dance games too and they will help me lose weight, Zumba on x360 is really hard though!

    I was at my slimmest as a teenager when I wasted all my money on dance machines in the arcade and on replacing my ps1 dance mat haha. So I wanna get back to that.

    At the moment though I only have time for Pokemon X - friend codes anyone :D

    Greeting!

    My name is Lisamarie and I'm 37 and proud to still be a gamer geek AND breaking the stereotype that all gamers are lazy.

    My gaming addiction started with the Atari 2600 and hasn't stopped since. I've had pretty much every system up until I lost my job and had to stop at getting a PS3 and XBOX2. (Crossing fingers my friend sells me his old PS3 cheap.)

    Favorite (most played/replayed) console games: Devil May Cry series; Final Fantasy (VII, IX, X and Dirge of Cerberus); The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind; Jade Dynasty; Fable; Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and the Resident Evil series.

    Favorite PC games: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Dragon Age, Diablo III, DOOM.

    Favorite MMORPGs: SWToR, WoW

    Gameboy (Advance and DS): Fire Emblem series and some Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh games.

    I love mostly RPG and fantasy-type game...but can't say no to a good survival horror with zombies and mutant monsters.

    Been using my PS2 with the old Dance Dance Revolution games to add something different to my treadmill/elliptical cardio and having a blast with that. Jillian Michaels regularly tortures me with her 30 Day Shred and I also run the occasional 5k with my sister. Currently training for a 7k in April.

    Hello everyone!

    My name is David and i'm 24 years old. I'm still into gaming, and enjoy a HUGE variety of games. I really don't have a preference. At the moment, i'm playing League of Legends with friends, so catch me there if you guys want.

    As a hobby, I play dancing games, In The Groove in particular. This game has honestly pushed me beyond limit, and it has help me transform the way I exercise around other activities. So far, I have gone from 210 lbs in February to 150 lbs. I feel very happy, because as an Admin assistant, I rarely get off my *kitten*. lol

    My difficulty for In The Groove(or ITG) ranges from 13-17, to perhaps 18 if i'm really feeling it. Some of you might be familiar with the concept of dancing games. Expert difficulty at that level really makes you challenge yourself.

    I currently run 7 minutes/mile, which I want to improve. Working on a 7k per week, and at the moment run 5k every other day.

    Devlin, 30, F

    Big into MMO/RPG games, but also love side scrollers, sims, and the old "3D" games from the 90's. My most often played games include World of Warcraft, Sims, Dragon Age, Civilization, Minecraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, Wolfenstein, Half-Life, Portal, etc. Was also really big into Rock Band/Guitar Hero for a while, but since they no longer add new music content to them, I've lost interest.

    I've been on MFP since August and have lost 30 pounds. I'm aiming to lose 30 more and if I make it, maybe another 15.

    Hi I'm a 28 year old PC gamer from AL. I also work in the software industry (but not on games). I mostly play MMOs these days... Lotro, GW2, Rift. Still hooked on Sims 3 as well.

    I've lost and gained a lot over the past few years due to difficult life circumstances. Hoping to stay on track for the long term now with MFP and get down to a healthy weight.

    Anyone is free to add me (but please include a message). I'd also be happy to save my ingame details with anyone that asks.

    Hi!

    23 (24 in 2 days!) female in Tennessee. Became a gamer way back when Nintendo 64 was all the rage and I enjoyed whipping my brother's high school friends in Mario Kart (I was 9 hehehe)

    I'm currently a HUGE xbox fan (Nerwen37) who loves the first Mass Effect Game, Assassin's Creed, Halo series and especially the Gears of War games. I love RPGs and anything with a deep story and compelling characters.

    I lost over 50 pounds after struggling with anxiety and I'm still trying to get adequate nutrition.

    I'm a 30 year old PC gamer, but my love affair with gaming started way back when we first had our Commodore 64 and NES.
    I spent the longest time playing and creating stuff for the Sims and Sims 2 (loads of it is still available on The Sims Resource I think? - I was a Premium Artist on there). I met my other half through playing my first ever MMO - EVE Online. Despite a break to play WoT and Wurm Online, we are both back playing EVE again with a vengeance.
    Unfortunately Gaming and exercise do not generally go hand in hand so I'm paying the consequences now!

    Happy to hook up in EVE if anyone else plays!

    I also play a number of Facebook games including Pixel People and Candy Crush (nice and convenient for the train journey to work!)

    Hi 31 year old gamer from Scotland. Currently weighing in at 217 my goal weight is 180 (to start with). Have lost over a stone already and am still working hard at it. I've been a gamer for the best part of 5 years, love shooters like battlefield and call of duty, but my passion definitely lies in rpgs. Loved skyrim would say that is the best game i have ever played and will find it hard to find something to knock that off the top. Am currently playing risen 2 and love it. It might be old but still has some awesome qualities about it. Fell free to add me for support on here or for xbox360 :)

    Hello everyone.
    I'm a 39 yr old gamer - been there since Atari 2400. Although, my tastes are broad I am a sucker for RPG games particularly fantasy. I'm a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls games. I also love the Thief games.

    I have a 10 yr old daughter (from my first marriage) and a 13 yr old son from my second marriage, whom I am trying to adopt.

    There's a ton of drama in my life from my ex and I tend to blow it off through exercise or video games.

    I tend to get caught up playing games with my kids and helping them on their quests. So, you might find me at one of the following games:

    Wizards101/Pirates101
    Star Wars The Old Republic Online
    DC Universe Online

    And to really bring my geek out. I am a software developer. A home project I have been wporking on is to create a website for writers (Actually, I have requirements from a group of writers I know). Anyway, (here's the big geek part) I am going to introduce my kids to Dungeons & Dragons. (I think, well I know, the video games have hinder their imagination and education). So, I am going to make them test out the site and write out the D&D adventures we have all while playing the game.

    Hello everybody,
    I am Lee, 26, from Georgia USA. I have been a gamer as long as I can remember with my first game being X-wing for the PC. I am currently a big fan of FPS and used to play counter-strike: source competitively until I no longer had time for it anymore. My current game of choice when I have time at all is either BF4 or a random game from my huge steam library (Those sales will get you every time, am I right?).

    I own a PS3 and a 360 but my platform of choice has always been PC. Feel free to PM me or send my a friend request if you want fitness support or want to play sometime.
