Starting over! Any other nerds on here?

So I lost about 30 pounds last year and proceeded to gain back 50, so here I am starting over again. Looking to add some more friends on here (Most of the ones I added back in the day aren't active any more).
I'm a super SciFi nerd
Also I work in Sports Nutrition so that's cool too I guess
I do standup comedy
My favorite foods are pizza and mac'n'cheese
I love beer
Dieting is hard and it sucks.

  • Super nerd here but a cool one :) into heaps of scifi stuff from movies to video games also really into out doors solo sports such as snowboarding, surfing etc
  • Hi. Starting again to. I'm a whovian and fan of anything with space ships and time travel. A sedentary lifestyle, cheese and carbohydrates are my weakness. Also my mum is boycotting me so I hope we can help each other.

    Nice to meet you, Why's your mom boycotting you?
    Cheese and carbs are also HUGE weaknesses of mine. When I diet I cut out all cheese and up my protein so much that in order to stay in my calorie range I have to do mininal carbs

    Do it! For some reason my mobile app won't let me go to profiles though so I can't send requests

    I'll most likely send you a friend request too if that's ok! Think I've figured out how to do it. That's great that you have previously lost 30lbs you did it once so you will definitely be able to do it again :) I've got 34 to go so could do with some of your hints along the way and I'll do my best to help you too!
    Apart from Doctor Who and such shows I do hope you have found the awesomeness of Dean, Sam, Castiel and Crowley aka Supernatural :smiley:

    I love your post haha. yes it does suck. I put on 40 lbs in Australia of all places!! Tons of alcohol, takeaway, and no gym... stupid me. I've been home since April and the scale has barely budged. I need to get smart about it. I still love my beer too haha. Cheese is THE WORST. I'm good about not buying pasta, but I love me some goat cheese. Chips are a problem too... If it's in the house, I can eat a whole bag. :/ pita and hummus doesn't compare!

    Nothing wrong with being nerdy! I, too love doctor who and my fiance is an Uber sci-fi guy! If he buys one more star wars lego or action figure we'll be forced out of the bedroom for lack of space!

    Pizza, reeses pieces and Nutella are my weakness...

    <<<< Has lightsaber on desk, plays D&D online regularly, collects Star Wars book... I was Nerdy before Nerd was cool
  • Hello :)
    I am an anime fan,cosplayer,nerd of various topics and things.
    I am starting over as well. I have a terrible habit of starting and getting into it than wanting to spoil myself and stop. I restarted officially last Monday. Began buying more healthier options for work(work for the state) and working out afterwards. I figured new year,new job,back in school,fresh start. So far its been a lil hard but I'm getting there. Try not to eat too much heavy or fried foods.

    Ooh !!! Looks like I fit in here perfectly ! Nerd here ( major doctor who fan )too !!! Kinda I starting over myself. I have 5 kids and lost 70lbs after my last baby ( she will be 2 in March ) then got really sick with a bad gallbladder. Had a rough surgery and long difficult recovery. Now here I am having gained 20 lbs back. I was 30lbs away from my end goal and now I'm 50 lbs away. I lost most of my weight doing t25 so I'm doing that again as well as counting my calories. Been at it again for about 2 weeks and the scale hasn't budged. Trying not to get discouraged. I really have to keep myself motivated. Otherwise it is REALLY hard for me to get my head in the game !

    I file my comics in this order Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Green Lantern New Guardians, Red Lanterns, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians 3000, Coffin Hill, Hinterkind, Uncanny Avengers. I have all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe books on .mobi and .epub depending if I want to read on my kindle or surface tablet. I watch Big Trouble in Little China 2-3 times a month. Billy Zabka was the Karate kid, not Ralph Macchio. If I won a 400 million powerball lottery, I'd fund a live action Voltron movie. Han Shot first. Pirates of Dark Water is Hannah Barbara's best work.

    Shall I keep talkin nerdy or are you ready to track your calories in/out and lose some weight.
  • I am a scout leader and that seems to qualify as nerdy lmao.

    I'm not sure if I qualify as geek, nerd or dork but I'm sure I'm one of them. :P

    I'd love to support you! I also believe in being able to eat and drink what you want, just keep within a calorie deficit. :)

    I'm nerdy, but in a scary, semi-scholarly way. I'm way into epics and epic poetry (Iliad, Odyssey, Tain bo Cuilagne), mythology, Conan the Barbarian, Slaine (the comic book, not the rapper), video games (Legend of Zelda and FF series, in particular), and lots of classic lit (as I am a high school English teacher). Does that count? I delve into nerddom in many other respects, but I guess that's all I care to share for now.

    I completely understand. I had lost 20lbs and then had to move cross country and gained 20+ pounds back. It sucks. I am also starting over. Good luck and I hope you reach your goal!

    Nerd here too. Into a lot of the typical nerd things - comics, Marvel movies, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, etc. I love to read, am pretty internet-obsessed, watch way too much tv and movies, and trivia :)

    I love sci fi but when these nerd gathering happens, then people dont tend to talk sci fi and the other people on your friends list think you are bonkers.
    Sci Fi ive seen most of it, currently in S4 DS9 revisiting and fantasy as well plus computer games, mostly MMO. Dieting is pretty straightforward, just a bit dull imo.
