    Hey there.

    I'm Cake, female, and nearly 30. I'm a PC gamer, mostly playing RPGs. Lately, I've been playing ESO: Morrowind (because war bears), and Heroes of the Storm. I have a bunch of consoles, and a 3DS but I don't care for consoles - I have horrible hand eye coordination - and I don't usually bring my 3DS around. Love board games, but I don't play very often since that requires other people.

    I don't RP, and I don't LARP. I'm not usually big on MMOs but war bears. I don't usually play FPS but I do watch my partner play on the PS4 a lot which is sort of like a movie.

    I'm a fairly big nerd/geek. I like reading, and if it's fiction, it's scifi and/or fantasy. If it's non, it's often something science based. If I watch tv/movies, they tend to be scifi/fantasy/superhero. I've been to PAX Prime twice, and I'm hoping to go again next year.

    For weight loss, I'm hoping to get to 160 lbs. I'm currently 273 lbs. I'm hoping to get there by the summer of 2019. At some point, I want to do a recomp to increase my muscle mass but I'm not sure when. I've lost about 10 lbs so far.

    I'm not a big walking on the beach fan; I don't care for the outdoors or beaches.

    35
    Female

    I like CRPGs

    Nah, I don't LARP. Well I used to do a "pirate reenactment" group but they kind of fizzled.

    I'd like to lose 30 pounds by Easter. I'm currently at 195lbs - 5'10" tall.

    I'm in a huge stall with weight loss. I've been gaining quite a bit of muscle, which is nice. But I gotta admit that I've been relying on my height and "carrying my weight well" as an excuse to be complacent. I am trying to be more honest with myself and admit not carrying 190+ well

    I do like the beach, I've been trying to get more fit because I've been trying to take up scuba diving.

    Hey I'm Sara aka RamboKitty, I'm 30, female, 5'4", Starting weight: 308lbs Current weight: 208, Goal weight is to be between 120lbs - 140lbs, Not RP'd for a long time but used to, Don't think I have ever LARP'd unless you count RP'ing in full costume on secondlife lol, Last time I walked on the beach was 5 years ago unless you count in games or secondlife :smiley: Anyway used to play WoW a lot but lost interest after Legion came out, personally felt it was a huge let down, played ESO but lost interest after I felt it was too money mad, I do enjoy Star Trek online fro time to time and black desert online, I love gaming but usually game alone so it gets boring, I've had to cut back on gaming a lot due to changing my lifestyle to a more healthier one, I've played so many games over the years though I'm currently in search of a game that keeps my interest for more than a few hours haha Oh I forgot to mention I mainly game via Steam these days B)

    Hello, I'm Rachel, female, 24. Most of the time I like to be on secondlife roleplaying, but I've also rped in mmos like WoW, Neverwinter, etc. I have larped one time before, it was Vampire the Masquerade. I only got to play one night and it was fun, just haven't ever had the chance to larp again. Right now I'd like to get down to around 250, I'm currently over 300, which I never have been, even when I was pregnant I was under 250. I haven't really lost much weight yet, as I've just started trying to get serious about losing weight a few days ago. I recently bought the Legion expansion for wow so I've been playing that, but I'm trying to count calories now with MFP and also get in some exercise everyday using wit fiit and just dance for the wii.

    Hello Everyone!

    I'm Robyn, I'm 27 years old, Female, and I'm married to my partner of 9 years -with 4 fur-babies (3 Dogs and 1 Cat).
    I work for the NHS and absolutley love my job!

    I'm 5'2" and 92.2kg and I'm just starting out on my journey! My first goal is to get down to 70kg (at my lowest weight I was 60kg). Then see were I want to go from there.

    I'm into RP/RPG's - love any sort of sandbox type RPGs. I also used to play D&D with a group of friends before I moved away, that was always fun and hilarious!

    Never tried LARP but know people who do. I think if I was less anxious/socially awkward I might give it a go!

    So, hello! And feel free to add me if you want to share motivation! :smile:

  • Hey everyone, I'm Amanda from Olympia, Washington. I'm 30, female, married with no kids. I'm a PC gamer mostly, but also enjoy console and mobile games. Big fan of cards/board game nights. My husband is trying to get me into D&D.....we'll see haha. Anyone who plays Guild Wars 2, WoW, Wildstar, Brutal Age or Battle Block Theater, hit me up!

    My goal is to lose 65 pounds and get down to 180. I've lost 17 pounds so far!

    Hello all. I'm Lulaica (or just Lula), a 29 year old daycare teacher living in Houston with her hubby and two cats (Willow and Indie). I'm primarily a PC gamer who casually plays MMOs (ESO is my current jam, but LOTRO is my love). I also play a number of tabletop games with friends and am part of a RPG group that my hubby DMs (we just started Starfinder). I also have somewhat taken up miniature painting and am waiting on a big shipment of Kickstarter minis for our current game.

    My goal is to lose around 25-30 pounds over the next year so I can be in better shape when we start adding kids to our little nerddom.

    Who are you!
    Samantha

    Age?
    31

    Female or male?
    Female

    RP?
    Yes. I prefer RPGs and MMOs to almost every other type of game. I play PC primarily, but I am a member of a D&D group and occasionally dip into DMing. Right now, though, I spend basically all of my free time in WoW, gearing up for BfA.

    LARP?
    I have in the past, but the opportunity hasn't come up lately.

    What are your weightloss goals?!
    I've got like... 175 pounds to lose still? I also want to start lifting sometime, but I haven't really sorted that plan out yet.

    How many pounds have you lost?
    15 so far, and going pretty steadily downward.

    Walk on the Beach?
    I would if there was one close. Alas, there is not.

    Andreas 26 and Male

    I have played alot of DnD in the past and enjoy almost all RPGs and tried alot of MMOs 2.

    Never LARPed, would like to try it sometime though.

    I dont have a weightloss goal since i think weight is an ineffective way to measure your body. What i do have is a BF % goal, wich is 12%. Im currently sitting at 19% BF

    I have lost about 33 lbs so far

    Hi there I'm Bill, I am a prison nurse in Northern California. I'm 38, I do RP but on WoW. For the Horde!! I am married to my understanding wife, and I have 3 amazing kids, 2 boys and my princess. I've always wanted to go to a LARP event because it looks badass and fun as hell. Love anime, cartoons, and all that jazz. I am teaching myself how to create games with my oldest son, and we are hoping to make a VR game in the next year or so. As for my weight, I am 450 lbs just started yesterday on MFP so no weight loss yet, but I am positive I can do it with all the help available on here.

    Age: 39
    F/M: F
    RP: I used to tabletop D&D, been a long time. I currently play WoW and Overwatch, mostly. I'm always a ranged class, caster (sorceror/wizard or mage, or healer).
    LARP: no
    Weight loss goal: 40 lbs
    Lost: 2. I just came back to MFP after stepping away for some time following an illness, and I'm getting back into tracking and exercising again. I'm also starting Nerd Fitness coaching and I'm in the Whovian Running Club, Hogwarts Running Club, and NF Rising Heroes.
    Walk: sure? I'd rather swim, though. I burn easily. :wink:

    p.s. looking for friends, so, friend me! It's dangerous to go alone.

    Hi everyone! I'm Samantha. I'm 28 and married. I've been playing video games ever since I was like 4 on an old PC that still had a B: drive for those giant floppy disks. When it comes to games, I generally prefer RPGs, particularly the Suikoden series. If anyone is ever on any of those forums, I'm Flare. Lately I've been playing Skyrim (yes, still) and Pokémon: UltraSun, in addition to Pokémon Go. I've always been more of a console gamer than a PC gamer. I currently have a PS4 (Amaterasu451 if you wanna add me), 3DS, and a Switch when it comes to current gen systems.

    If anyone's into tabletop stuff, my friend has her own company where she makes games. It's called Weird Giraffe Games and you should totally check it out. She's got Super Hack Override out right now, Stellar Leap coming soon, and Fire in the Library in the works. There's another one she's working on now, but I don't remember what it's called. She's going to be at Origins, so check out her booth!

    When it comes to weight loss, I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds or so. Growing up, I was the skinny kid with the great metabolism that let me eat whatever I wanted and didn't have to worry about it. Flash forward to now, and I've gained quite a bit. Since high school (granted, that was about 11 years ago now...) I've gained about 45 pounds, most of it around my abdomen. It's to the point where people always ask me if I'm pregnant and apparently were never taught that you don't ask someone that. Anyway, I'm trying to change and get back to where I want to be/used to be. I know it's there, I just need to get to it.

    I'm Joy, 42, single, female, and a player of the video games.

    My preferred platform is PC, but I've been seen on everything from an original gameboy to an Atari 2600 to a PS4 and pretty much everything in between. I love to collect vintage consoles and games, but I'm not quite geeky enough to store them in display cases and protective covers. Yes. I play my Sega. My favorite franchises come from Bethesda, but my genuine weakness is WoW. Blood Elf, Marksman Hunter main, Tauren, Guardian Druid secondary (both of which I rock), plus a 110 of pretty much every other class that I play with mediocrity. (Currently on wowcation for sanity sake). <3 cosplay!

    Weight loss... well the thing here is, I didn't come here specifically to lose weight. I mean obvs I need to, but I came here to get healthier and weight loss is just one part of that. I've tried it before and failed, but after several tries and contemplation periods, I finally know why I failed: I put time limits on myself and used the term "goal" a lot. From the start, it was SO tough, challenging and eventually unsustainable. This time, there is no unrealistic time frame. I'm just going to do a little better, every day, until forever. I don't feel pressured this time, I don't feel like I'm under the gun. I'm confident that this time, I'm done failing. I've lost 26 of my 133 pound overage so far, and more importantly, I feel better - fewer aches and pains, more flexibility, a healthy fasting blood sugar. I'm all in.

    Not a fan of walking on the beach, I'd rather jetski on the ocean instead :p

    - Yoga
    - Lifting heavy things
    - Elliptical for working that all important heart muscle
