in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! I'm looking to make some pals on here to keep me dedicated and using the app! If I seem like someone you could jive with then feel free to send a friend request my way!

Me: I'm a college student who works 2 jobs and I'm a huge nerd. Not in the cute ironic way, more in the watching a 5 hour marathon or Star Trek: Voyager on a Friday night kind of way. I'm a gamer, part time comic book collector, anime fan, and I love reading and all things sci-fi. I am outdoorsy and love to travel and experience new things.

Fitness: My current stats are 5'2", 116 lbs. I'm hoping to lose 10-15 pounds permanently, before the summer, as well as tone up. This is new for me as I've never tried to purposely lose weight before, and I have an issue with binge eating greasy junky food followed by laying about doing nothing. I also hope that I'll have more energy and motivation this way, which is super tough for me to have during the winter.

    I like anime and games too, but I've been more of a casual watcher/gamer due to work and other stuff.

    Hi.
    I'm a online gamer 2 and I'm crazy for Anime! I am allot more over weight than you thought hahaha. Im looking to lose 60lbs and have lost 10 basically. I meassure in KG's so not sure if amounts are right.

    I know with online gaming and freakwint lans that binge eating junk food and smoking like a crazy persone is normal. I smoke twice the amount i normaly do when gaming. I tend to also forget the time so end up sleeping allot less than i should so losing weight isnt all that easy with sitting, eathing, smoking and very little sleep.

    I'm more into the Mythical rather than Sci-Fi. I'm a big dragons, wizards, vamps, lycans type fan. My nick name on here is actually my gaming name and my favouret carrecter of my gaming combined hahaha.

    Hello! I'm a bit of a nerd, too. I'm a hobbyist programmer, and was a collector of retro computers until my parents cracked down on having my collection in their house. I'm 5'3" and 110lbs (maybe higher).

    Yeah that sounds like a tough habit to get out of! Have you ever tried quitting smoking? And it sounds like you've made a big first step on your journey so that's awesome!

    I'm so happy with all the responses I've gotten, I hope we can all bug each other and stay on track together!

    It's so hard! That's why I give myself a "cheat day" on Fridays. It's still a gym day and I still put in everything I eat to help me not go too crazy, but it's good to tell yourself "no, today I'll be good I can have some of this on Friday"!

    Yes, an actual Voyager fan! lol... not sure why so many had beef with it. I felt like Voyager got back to its roots with actual exploring instead of a space soap opera like DS9. (all tho I still enjoyed DS9)

    Anyways, good luck on your weight loss journey. I made mine a few years ago (240 down to 165) and it has stuck with me ever since. Best decision I ever made in this fellow nerd/geeks journey. :)

    That's too bad :( I guess I'm lucky since I tend to really love fresh and healthy foods. I actually grew up in Brazil where processed and fast good we're never as big as they are here in the states! Temptation at every turn.

    Captain Archer will always be Sam Beckett for me - I enjoy Enterprise but it's always there in the back of my mind (waiting for Al to appear).

    Lets see... Netflixed through Battlestar Galactica in a week. Seen all the Star Treks and was ticked when Enterprise was canceled. Take notes on dating tips while watching The Big Bang Theory. Read Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide and saw the original series air in the UK back in the early 1980s. Ok, that last bit showed my age.

    I'm also a science teacher at a local college. Nerdy enough?

    Haha awesome! I love douglas Adams, I have a much of his quotes hanging in my little office.

    I never watched quantum leap! So I didn't have that issue. Any of you guys watch any stargate? And do you Trekkies swing both ways into Star Wars? I sure do!

    Oh yes - but then Star Trek and Star Wars are chalk and cheese - so it's easy to like both with no hint of conflict.

    After all Star Wars isn't local - its set in a Galaxy far, far away - so Jane Way had more change of bumping into the evil empire

    Nerd brethren unite!

    While it's a mistake to believe that any major problem can be solved simply with potatoes, it's imperative that all NERDS out there add me so I can interact with you guys.


    EDIT:

    Oh, and 42.
