Nerds Unite!

Hi there :] My name is Abby, I'm 29 with 200 lbs to lose. I've always wanted to go to an anime convention and do some cosplaying but never have because of my weight. Really hoping that after I get close to the size I want that i'll be able to start doing that.

I've been an anime fan for 20-some years now. Eventually my love for it got me travelling to Japan and staying in Okinawa for a month with cousins. I'd love to eventually be able to go back.

I also roleplay, and write short fantasy stories. All my roleplay has been textual, dating back to the chatrooms of AOL 3.0.... to this day I still keep in touch with some of the buds I RP'd with back when I was like 10

Hello! This is my first post on Myfitnesspal. I have had an account for a long time, just never thought of posting.

I love anime too!!! I always wanted to lose a bunch of weight and cosplay as Fay Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. My husband and I used to go to Anime Expo every year in July. Haven't been since it moved to the LA convention center....

My highest weight was 378.8. I am down to 264 as of today. I still have about 100 pounds to lose.

I've decided to register for the RunDisney Star Wars 1/2 marathon in January. I am doing the Rebel Challenge, which is the 10K on Saturday, followed by the 1/2 marathon on Sunday. Why am I doing it? I want the cool star wars themed shirts and medals. I have loved the Star Wars movies most of my life.

I used to play WoW, but not anymore. The expansions were the same types of quests, just different locations. I do have my figure print on display still. My Troll was awesome!

Some of my favorite shows are Doctor Who, Walking Dead, and Big Bang Theory.

Hi there! This is my first post too! I have about 25-30 pounds to lose.
I still play Wow, love skyrim (couldn't get into the ESO beta...), currently trying to finish Twilight Princess (hunt judge, I'm a late bloomer LOL) I am into Catan for board games right now, Love SW (that's my R2D2 hat )
love Dr.Who as well... Ghost Adventures is my newest addiction for TV and I am a working professional Bassoonist. I am entering into my third year of a Performance Music degree and currently performing with the "Cut Throat Orchestra" in the musical Sweeny Todd. ... I garden and can and pickle stuff too. When I'm not making reeds, I'm crocheting.

Hi. My name is Danielle. I would consider myself to be a nerd (even though I try to downplay my nerdyness when I am at school). Got a bunch of weigh to lose but for now my set goal is to lose about 50 pounds. I like watching reality shows, like Keeping up with the Kardashians and Total Divas (yup my ultimate guilty pleasures) and anything interesting on the Discovery and National Geographic channel. In addition, I enjoy watching videos posted by science based channels on Youtube, favorites would have to be SciShow and vsauce. What can I say, I like learning about the world around us.

Danielle Embrace your inner Nerd since Big Bang Theory came out on tv Nerd is sexy :bigsmile:

I just spent the last 4+ hours on Amazon shopping for steampunk items so that might put me in the nerd category. I've been wanting to put an outfit together for awhile but I'm quite the perfectionist so it's been slow going. I have a couple random pieces but I think I will be hand making some of the rest. Not much of a gamer anymore but grew up on Atari and NES.

Hi I'm Kara!

This is my first post on MFP! I've been in rural Zambia since January 2012 (with the Peace Corps) and just moved to town where i have internet! I'm trying to lose 40-50 pounds to get back to a healthy weight. I've never really dieted before, because I exercised enough to stay where I wanted. Then I joined PC, and couldn't swim anywhere because there are crocs in the water and no pools. Biking around the village wasn't really enough either, since I didn't have time for a lot. So...I've started running with C25K and using MFP to get myself back in shape.

I enjoy video games, though I'm a bit out of the loop. Never really got into online gaming, though I tried out WoW for a while and thought it was fun. I LOVE DnD. I like that's it's so social, with the potential for lots of creativity of the group and individuals. So fun. Settlers of Catan is a big favorite among the volunteers here. Dr. Who and Big Bang Theory are two of my favs in the TV category, and I'm kind of a Disney freak. I love books the most... Tolkein, Sanderson, Goodkind, Eddings, Martin, Asimov, Gaiman, Brooks, Weeks.... and so many more.

Hey nerds!

My name is Shannon and I have and always will be a nerd. I've got about 110 pounds to lose. I love video games, especially of the RPG or MMORPG vein (any FFXIV people in here? ;D) What server are you on, OP? I was on Hyperion but haven't had time to play too much since I started a new job, but I'm going to be making my grand reentry in a few weeks, I think.

An ex, who remains a good friend, very recently started attempting to pull me into anime and manga, and I'm liking it so far. Haven't tried too much, so I'm still out on what's my favorite, though I had a deep and passionate love affair with Sword Art Online while I was watching.

One of my personal goals after weight loss is to rock a banging costume at a Renaissance Fair or Cosplay.

Anybody is free to add me! I love nerd friends!

My name is Frank, but a lot of people just call me Nerd. I am a Gamer of every type. Be it Video Games, Table Top Games, or Card Games I love them all! I also run a blog www.nerdfitquest.com and a online gaming community www.thecrimsonknights.com. Right now I am trying to get into pathfinder (kind of like DnD), playing FFXIV ( The new Final Fantasy MMO), and other random games. I also play MTG. I am also a avid anime fan, have been since I was 12. I try to watch most new anime and am a big fan of old school anime. GTO is my #1 Anime of all time. This season I am really into No Game, No Life.

Feel free to add me!

FFXIV! What server do you play on?

Hi everyone. I've been on here a while and haven't thought to introduce myself anywhere. They say you reach your goals better in numbers, so here's hoping I can make some new friends.

I'm Jen, and a fan of video games, anime, Vocaloid, but most importantly - history and ancient literature. I'm also a History and Humanities major who's planning on going to grad school next year for a History PhD in either the Ancient Mediterranean or Middle Eastern/Islamic Studies. I really want to do both, but I'm not sure if it's realistically possible. That's pretty nerdy, right?

I'm also "mildly" obsessed with Pokemon and Rune Factory. Recently I've been looking into starting MtG again, but it's been 13 years so it's a bit of a relearning experience for me. I really want to go to ComicCon this year, but I find it hard to cosplay confidently overweight, so I probably won't. Oh, I suppose I've got about 70 pounds to lose before I start "fine-tuning."

Right now, I've started Minecraft again (dangerous, I know), and have been plugging away at summer research on the veil in Egypt. Anyway, nice to meet you all!

FFXIV! What server do you play on?

:O!?! Are you FFXIV as well? What server!

Ragnarok legacy, probably. I was an endgame mithra corsair on FFXI and interpreted between German, Japanese, and English for my linkshell members. I tried starting up on FFXIV several times but the updates kept changing things, I couldn't get into it. Then I fell on hard times financially. I'm going to start up again now that it's pretty stable, and I'm likely going to be Miqo'te male pugilist. The server choice is because my brother and I have always been on the same servers. He and I were a dynamic duo on ffxi.

There were a lot of changes recently that sort of forced me out as well, but I am looking to go back now. I, too, was on FFXI (Fenrir server, endgame Bard). I'm on Hyperion on FFXIV, but I was not legacy. I just joined to meet up with some XI linkshell pals I had.

I hope you enjoy it!

Any room on this thread for old nerds? I grew up during the Lost in Space, Star Trek TOS, Johnny Quest and Twilight Zone era so I would completely understand if you need to port me over to a geriatric thread.

Oh I love to cosplay also! I can't wait to drop more so I can do a lot more cosplay

I also am big into GoT, Stargate, Dr. Who, and Star Trek.

Well I was gonna be your friend but you didn't mention BSG so I'm just not sure we would get along
