    I'm a computer engineer and fitness freak. I QUALIFY! (Hi All! Okay, today is the day! I've got two weeks off work from tomorrow. I'm getting my Olympic weights set and power rack with Lat/Low Pulley to add to all the equipment already in my home gym. Training isn't my problem. Nutrition is. That's where I need encouragement and suport. My goal is to be 200Lbs at 9% body fat. Yes, I'm a control freak! :-) Target date is 13th Nov. this year, my 49th birthday. The plan is to reduce my body fat first, get it down to 9% then build muscle to bring my weight back up. I've go 7 months. I'm going for 100% but if I achieve anything over 80%, which I'm very confident of, I'll be happy! I'll have learned a lot and it'll be a good platform for making my long-range goal (for my 50th) a reality. Wish me luck!!!)

    Me! I'm using Zombies, Run! 5K for my cardio :-)

    I also LOVE all things Potter and am a card carrying Whovian.

    I don't think this makes me nerdy, per say, but I'm also an avid knitter, and have made many a Gryffindor and TARDIS themed item :-)

    Scientist here!! Biomedical research... feel free to add me, anyone :-) I love gadgets, apocalypse anything, medical & science anything, and of course, MFP... losing weight and getting/staying in shape is apparently my hobby, along with online dating (ugh), and writing resumes for friends?! Need more friends, LOL :laugh: :drinker:

    I used to be absolutely addicted to World of Warcraft for 5 years . How I got through university, had a full time job and a part time job at the same time I have no idea. I was like a zombie! Used to be a GM- ran own website, wrote out a strategy guide for all players for raids and also did a crap load of PvP. Holy paladin was definately my thing. I was a big online gamer - into Starcraft 2, Dawn of War games and also FPS like CSS.

    I also used to play Dungeons and Dragons at club called Dragonslayers. I used to be the Events Manager for this club which was thoroughly enjoyable as it helped get everyone out and about to socialise. For some who are quite geeky, they find solace in solitude or simply their own company. So it nice to get these guys out and about.

    I now have an XBox 360 and currently playing Lara Croft, Dynasty Warriors and Bioshock.

    I'm currently reading the Walking Dead comics along with the Bioshock book.

    I love science and would love nothing more than to work in Forensics. I did my degree in Archaeology and Palaeoecology.

    If anyone wants to add me as a friend please feel free :) I'm on MFP daily.

    Unfortunately I don't have a cool, "nerdy/geeky" job, just a lowly cleaner... Dunno if these instead count but just to give a bit more insight, here's some (I can't list them all) of my favourite things:

    TV shows: FIREFLY, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, Archer, The Tenth Kingdom.
    Films: Gattaca, The Fifth Element, Artificial Intelligence, LOTR/The Hobbit, various "bad yet good" films.
    Games: *sigh* Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Halo, Borderlands, Minecraft, BioShock, Haunting Ground, Shadows of the Damned, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Shadow Hearts and gosh I need to stop, there's too many...
    Books: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Harley Quinn The New 52 (I know it's a comic but shhh, I'll list it here.)
    Music: Puscifer, Poets of the Fall, Kamelot, Evans Blue, ugh, too many, just anything in the rock/metal/alternative genre and I'll be good.
    Hobbies: Making plushies, knitting, and seeming to collect t-shirts from various 24 hours sites. It's becoming hurtful to my bank account. :<

    Bringing it back to weight loss, I stepped on the scales this morning and have lost 50lbs since May last year!

    If ya feel like we'll get along then feel free to throw an add my way~ c:

    Fisheries biologist turned system admin (manage UNIX servers). I love tech, gadgets, electronics, etc. I have spent too much time on my Xbox 360 in the past playing Call of Duty. The only thing I like more than tech stuff is riding my mountain bike. I stay in pretty good shape most of the year, then it gets cool in winter and I play Xbox and drink beer! Spring has me fired up now to really get moving again. Please add me to your friends list...I would love to add y'all as friends!

    I always thought I was a bit of a geek and then I read these threads and have no idea what half the stuff is. Maybe I am more of a dork?

    ditto! Dorks unite!
