    Whats up, my names Aaron, I'm 29 from the Philadelphia area. I use to be pretty competitive with console gaming in my early to mid 20's, but not so much anymore. Use to play the nhl series relentlessly and the ufc, ea mma games. Now a days I just enjoy playing games with friends, like gears of war, saints row, and any other group related games that are fun.

    feel free to add me on MFP or 360

    Hey! Listen!

    My name is Sydney, I just hit my 20s! I am a girl and I am also a gamer! My favorite games have to be the Zelda series, GTA, Sims, Uncharted, Beyond Two Souls, The Walking Dead (TellTale's), and basically anything Nintendo. I am mostly a PC gamer so, I enjoy games which are point-and-click, RP, MMORPG, etc. I also enjoy Bethesda games, Naughty Dog, Rockstar, & Quantic Dream games. Anyway! I am 160lbs, my goal is 135lbs and I'm 5'4 (yes, I am a shorty). I have lost 10lbs so, I am on my way!

    So, if you are interested in any of the above please, don't be afraid to friend me. I love motivating others! <3

    Happy Gaming!

    Hallo!

    I'm not new to MFP by any means, but I am trying to use it more often. I have been gaming since the days of Street Fighter, Pac Man, Load Runner, and King's Quest. Now I play a healthy mix of board, card, eurostrategy, pc, ps3, and Xbox games. My husband is introducing me to the world of tabletop gaming, slowly but surely. My current weight is a mere 4 oz under 200lbs. My highest was 209, with a previous high before that n college of 192ish. I have been able to lose weight in the past, but I always plateau at 162. My goal is to get into the 150s and build more muscle so I can care for my husband who is currently in a wheelchair. 2013 has been a rough one, but I am looking forward to 2014 and working hard on my goal. Good luck to all!

    Hi All

    I'm Caz, 39, female and from the UK

    My current addiction is Minecraft although I've dabbled in a number of both single player and a few MMORPG ( WOW, Warcraft, Guild wars 1 & 2, FF XIV). I'd like to be able to join in some of the FPS games with my hubby but unfortunately they cause motion sickness. :embarassed: I'm mainly a PC gamer but also have a few PS3 games on the go at the same time.

    Mainly due to my online activities I'm afraid I've got very lazy and let the weight creep up on me to where I'm now 240 lbs my goal is around the 165-170 mark - so 2014 is the year where I need to get focused and become a real loser :)

    So feel free to add me on MFP , Happy Gaming and good luck all.

    I'm Nicole, 37 from Australia.

    I've loved gaming for many years and i've owned most consoles, my first being the Sega Mega System, wow that was a while ago! I love Action RPG's and open world games, my favorites being Fallout 3 and Skyrim (just found out over 200 hrs of game play is missing from my HD, noooo!) I love love loved the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series and I'm a huge sucker for games that have a big puzzle aspect, although I find that's not too common in games these days. I was a WoW player for many years but stopped playing for a long time. I have recently started playing again but am not finding it as enjoyable this time around. I suck at games like Halo, which annoys me because they look really fun to play :ohwell: I also really like Minecraft, Hidden Object Games on the PC and the Sims, although I get sidetracked building dungeons, experiments and traps for my Sim rather than a nice house and a family :laugh:

    I'm hoping to get off the PC and couch more this year and exercise more but I will always be a gamer!

    HI all! Avi, 26, and 300+lbs to lose. Gaming has added to the weight, sadly, but getting it under control now.

    I mostly play World of Warcraft, but getting into my 360 more and more, especially with Assassin's Creed, Dead Island, games like that.

    Hey hey. Call me Bree. I live in North Carolina, born and raised. My family is mostly in Michigan, barring my immediate family. In any case, I visit Michigan frequently. I have been a nerd for as long as I can remember. I was (and still am) a book nerd first. My mom says I was reading before I was speaking. Well, that's not entirely true. I could speak (hence how she knew I could read!), I just didn't speak often. Unless I was reading, actually. I was the kid in school who always went right for the books. I was always reading about four grades above myself. I preferred nonfiction.

    I discovered Pokemon in second or third grade. The love started with the anime. I was always a Misty fan. I used to wish I could be her. I went through a Gary Oak phase, too. Anyway. Then I started collecting the cards. And then... my mom got me my first Gameboy and it was all downhill from there.The first game I owned was red version. Then, I got blue. And Yellow. And soon, that Gameboy and I were inseparable. Since then, I have grown to appreciate many games. From Harvest Moon, to Left 4 Dead. I'm not picky. I love simulation games and RPGs a lot more than others, though. (Yes, that includes the Sims!)

    I'm, also, a card collector. I used to collect YuGiOh, but kind of grew out of it (especially after my whole collection was stolen). I still collect Pokemon cards. I started back for the online game. I don't play it now (because of the changes, I liked it better during the early stages of beta) but I still buy them. World of Warcraft cards, too. Which, by the way, I play. I haven't played in a while on account of lack of funds... But I'm a lvl 90 Blood Elf Paladin and a lvl 90 Pandaren Priest. I have a 90 Druid, too, but I haven't been interested in him much since MoP.

    Gaming has led me to a somewhat sedentary lifestyle which I am trying to break. I don't want to give up my games, but I want to be active! I'm getting there, but I've got a ways to go. I started losing weight before joining MFP. I've lost about 50 lbs since the start of my journey, only about 14 since joining MFP. I wasn't keeping up with it well, but I'd like to start. I want to lose just about 10 more before I work on maintaining.

    Feel free to add me. I'd love to have some gamer friends here. :)

    I'm Raimie. I'm 38, Oregonian, I'm recently graduated from college, and I'm trying to lose the weight I tacked on in the last few years from holing up in the house 24/7 studying and playing games (it's cheap entertainment!)

    I play pretty much any game under the sun (my primary platforms are PS4, Xbox 360, Steam OSX and iOS), but I'm really keen on small indy titles (just came off of a Rogue Legacy binge a month or two ago), team/cooperative games (right now, Battlefield 4 is eating up most of my game time -- play it with my brother and my best friend), and story-driven action/adventure games (can't wait for MGS5 to come out!)

    I also play European-style board games from time to time.

    Hi Folks,

    I am a 34 year old Scotsman and have been a keen gamer for years. I have been on MFP since September 2011 and log every day, I reached my goal in April 2012 and had been successfully maintaining since then but have managed to gain 5lb over the x-mas period which will be coming off over the next 2 months.

    I have owned numerous consoles over the years (and still have most of them). I have had a Megadrive and Dreamcast, a PS2, an X-Box and an X-Box 360 but my real love is for all things Nintendo. I have and still own an N64, Gamecube, Wii and Wii-U. I also have the following handhelds - Gameboy, Gameboy Advance SP, Gameboy Micro, Gameboy Micro Famicom (only been switched on once), DS, DSi and 3DS. I also own an original Donkey Kong Game and Watch.

    I like most games but predominately used my X-box 360 for Forza and COD, I still love driving games but play a lot less FPS games now. I am a massive Zelda fan and own every single Zelda ever released (older ones through virtual consoles due to my lack of an original NES), I also love Mario games (new Super Mario 3D World on the Wii U is awesome!), especially Mario Kart :)

    Best of luck everyone with your weight loss goals, if your honest with yourselves then this site really works :)

    Cheers, Alan

    Hi

    24 years old from Australia, love battlefield, skyrim, civilisation, super smash bro, and the massive collection of indie games coming out :P

    I wanna get into shape bad, so I kinda gave up my gaming habits till I get my health under control. I try and view working out and getting fit as a real life rpg.... It sometimes works :/

    For exercise I focus around weight training, body weights, and high intensity cardio....cause god dam cardio can be so boring :P

    Feel free to add me if u want :)

    Hi :)
    I'm Paige, 20 years old from the US.
    My favorites are usually some kind of RPGs. I'm mainly a PC gamer but I have an Xbox 360. I play the Elder Scrolls games, Sims, League of Legends, and whatever else seems like fun.
    I've been off and on about losing weight and just started really getting serious about it. I plan to lose about 30 pounds and see how I feel from there. I'm trying to eat less and healthier foods as well as work out but to do that around being a full time student and part time worker.
    Feel free to add me!
  • Howdy I'm from the US
    I play wow and currently have an addiction to leveling alts. I was on here for a while and got with in 20lbs of my goal then kinda fizzled out. So I have returned, I need friends for support and fun times :)

    I love going all the way back to play NES Star Tropics and Adventure Island every once in awhile. Then I switch over to replaySuper Mario 64.
    My favorite is the God of War series as well as (gush) Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
    Right now I'm replaying Kingdom Hearts.

    Anyone else annoyed by are: Chain of memories?? Or am I just missing a key strategy?

    So glad I stumbled upon y'all :)

    Age? 32
    Female or male? Male
    RP? Sometimes
    LARP? Other times
    What are your weightloss goals?! 30 lbs more, trying to bring my BMI down to a healthy range
    How many pounds have you lost? A whole 3
    Walk on the Beach? I grew up on the beach, but more walks are always good.

    Lets see..I've been a computer gamer all my life, but I definitely don't shy away from consoles. Boards and cards struck in college. I was in WoW since the Beta days, 8 years later I moved on. These days I can be in Diablo, Starcraft, the Borderlands games, zombie hunting in Left 4 Dead...usually have more interesting titles than I can shake a stick at. Now it's time to get turn that gamer mentality towards my health and level up.

    Holy HJ Capt. Crunch...

    there's a gamer group? Awesome.

    ASL = 35, male, your mom's.
    I'm neither RP or LARP... I'm a game developer. My current babies are:
    • Evony
    • Tynon
    • Commanders of Evony
    • Heroes Charge (mobile)

    Goals, are all over, but the impetus to "get swole" came due to some of my lovely customers kindly sending me rape and death threats a couple years back. So, I train to get in better shape, and be better capable of defending my home if need be. Along the way, I've done a triathlon, loved it. I'm going to try a powerlift competition too.

    I'm down 45 pounds at the moment, and kinda just sitting at a plateau due to intensity, commitment, and my training.

    Beach? Currently land locked, I miss the beach.
  • Hey nerds, I'm Amanda!

    I'm 26 (but I'm told I look like I'm 18 ... trying to take it as a compliment).

    Female PC gamer. League of Legends is my jam ... I main Katarina, Quinn, and Tristana, but I also play a mean Teemo. Love me some Sam & Max and Minecraft, too.

    I started doing crossfit 3 years ago. I was 150 pounds when I started, dropped 30 pounds of fat, and have been building muscle since then. Right now I'm at 136 pounds and have a 23 BMI. My goals are to continue to build muscle, increase my weight PRs, and eat clean.

    Wow, somebody bumped this dead thread. Right on. It's cool to see this stuff on here; makes it a lot more fun.

    Who are you!
    Feisty Bucket!! 44! Male!

    RP?
    I used to play D&D and other TSR games (Gamma World, Star Frontiers, Top Secret) back in the '80s but stick to computer stuff these days. I do like to read the player's guides for any game though.

    LARP?
    Nah

    What are your weightloss goals?!
    Cut from 14-17% down to the "athletic" range of 10-13% and stay there forever, while getting stronger. I've been lifting 2-3x a week since I was a teenager, but my nutrition skillz haven't been very strong. Been eating primal-style for the past, I dunno, 3-4-5 years?

    Walk on the Beach?
    Yeah! Rockaway Beach. Rock rock, Rockaway Beach.

    Howdy. I live in NYC, but mostly grew up in Texas. I like doing outside stuff but play a lot of games at night, as I'm a trader and have to stay up working through the night.
    I like a lot of the usual geeky stuff: comix, sci-fi, fantasy, movies, good TV.

    PC is my main platform. I've been loving games since the Apple II and golden age of the arcade. Currently, my favorite games are PlanetSide 2 and Guild Wars 2.
    Also love RTS games (Rise of Nations, C&C, Age of Empires II), arcadey racing, FPS, strategy, sims, etc. but I'll dabble in anything. Play a little League of Legends too.

    Anyways, hope to participate in the chatter here!

    Guess I'll introduce myself. I'm not good with introductions or small talk, so I'll keep it short and sweet.

    My name is Seth. My basic info is free to view in my profile. I really don't have much weight to lose, but I want to cut off a few lbs and what fat is on me until I have the same body I had when I had first joined the Marine Corps at 19. Did 8 years in the marines as a network engineer. Currently out and a fulltime student studying information assurance / cyber security; which gives me lots of free time for video games and working out.

    I'm not much of a "geek" as one would say, but I don't really fit in with the preppy crowd either. I'm that guy that just kind of "on his own program." I don't like RPGs or games that require me put in hours upon hours of game play until my life is wasted (although I do like the concept). I do like quick paced first person shooters, horror/suspense games such as Metro or Dead Space, and motorsports games such as Forza.

    I currently play on 360, but getting an XboxOne for Black Friday since Walmart is giving them away for basically $300. I do plan on getting a PS4 also, but not until the Oculus Rift comes out and they have a price dropped bundle package for the console. I don't have a computer for gaming ( yea yea, don't care).

    Xbox Gamertag: Mah BALLFR0 (zero at the end)

    I'm Whitney. 24 years old. 100% female.

    Back in the old days I RP'd on a message board type board thingger. It was an addiction that was only squelched when my home board shut down. Now I play RPG games on the computer and PS3. I enjoy the Dragon Age games, Final Fantasy, Persona, The Witcher, etc. I'm getting into the Heroes of Might and Magic games and I play LORTO, my first MMORPG! I love little big planet as well... who doesn't?!

    I hope to lose 45 lbs (before re-evaluating) and I have lost almost 26 now (the official week's weigh in is tomorrow and so the ticker updates then!).

    Walks on the beach are pretty awesome. Can't deny that.


    IS there anything hotter then Geeky girls........When did girls start playing RPG's and what not.....lol Damn I am behind the times
    Lol u have totally missed out because there are lots of us nerdy girls

    • I do roleplay but not very often; mostly just the forum based story style stuff.
    • Never did LARP before.
    • I'm trying to drop about 50ish pounds.
    • Haven't lost any weight yet but I hope to eventually.
    • I'm a teacher during the day and by night/weekends I become a little cave hermit and stay inside to play games. Mostly WoW but some Diablo III, Torchlight II, Depth, and other such games are mixed in as well. I am part of a gaming community and we have a web show every Sunday that I also participate in.
    Any gamers here also use a fitbit? I could use some friends on here and on there~

    Table top and live action role play with friends, as well as rpg's and mmorpg's. Currently happily lost in the world of FFXIV (Siren server) with brief stints into Destiny and Pokemon. Mass Effect is probably my favorite series maybe? How can you even pick?
    I'm also in university to be a videogame designer. We'll see how that plays out.

    My xbox no longer exists or I'd share that too.
    Trying to lose 50 pounds so I can get back into cosplaying, LARPing, and maybe even DDR. I dunno, dream big.
    I had lost a bunch of weight in the past and was rockin' my goal weight, but then a new medication and stress from university has me back up 50 pounds.

    So add me if you wanna shoot up aliens or whatever. OR if you play FFXIV. I just bought a house for my FC so like, yea.

    Hello I'm Nicki!
    A short (5'2), 28 year old, geeky, mama of 1 from the UK.

    I used to be into all things anime, manga, video game, board game, card game, sci fi or Zombie related. Then I had a baby and free time became a thing of the past!

    These days I'm lucky to get a spare minute on the ps4, play the odd board game or a random game of hearthstone. The one hobby I have managed to cling to is my love of sci fi! Which roughly translates to I watch too much TV.

    Feel free to add me :3

    Hey everyone! I've really enjoyed reading many of your intros, so it's time to do my own or else I'm just a creeper!

    Who are you! Teresa
    Age? 24
    Female or male? female
    RP? Oh man, yah, in SL of all places, for like 3 years. Now I write solo, which is really fun.
    LARP? Nope, just not my thing, but think it's cool!
    What are your weightloss goals?! I would like to lose 15-30 more pounds, but my biggest goal is to tone up and actually have the energy of a normal 24 year old!
    How many pounds have you lost? I have lost over 120 pounds, then I maintained for 6 months, now I'm trying to lose again.

    My gamertag isn't really sfw... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but I'd be happy to share it with anyone who's interested. I play so many different games, on xb1, pc, and 3DS. I have found that all-out game binges are harder now that I'm trying to be more active, but when they happen, they are glorious! And I don't beat myself up about it. I have used gaming several times to curb food cravings... I'm all for it.

    Please send me a friend request ect if you'd like! I'm super friendly, and after coming back to MFP after a few years, many of my old friends have gone :(
  • Hey, I'm Bri. I'm 24 and female. My goal is to lose 80 pounds. I also would like to build more muscle and tone. I prefer xbox. I like to play shooter, MMO, RPG, and horror survival games. Some of my fave games are dead space, gears of War, Resident evil, Saints row, tekken, Borderlands, skyrim, etc.
