I'm Julia. I'm 34 and female (& mom!).
I started out with tabletop RPG's when I was 7. Gamed with my parents. Anyone remember The Fantasy Trip by Steve Jackson? That's what I started with. Since then we've "borrowed" from just about every system out there.
I guess my first computer "RPG" was The Legend of Zelda (if that counts) or Final Fantasy. I'm talking about the original, FF#1, for the 8-bit NES. I freakin' loved that game! (Not so hot on the newer ones)
I'm pretty much a one-game-girl, as far as computer games go. WoW takes up enough of my time, I don't want to spread out to other games (and either spend more time gaming and neglect school, kids, husband, house, etc, or have less time for my WoW).

I did a bit of LARPing about 20 years ago, and wouldn't mind giving it another go if I had time! (It all comes down to that, doesn't it?)

My goal weight is 120 lbs. I'm very short, so when I get there I'll reassess and see if I want to go a bit lower or stay there. Hard to say how much I've lost so far, because I was pregnant when I started on this website. I have, however, lost all 18 lbs of pregnancy weight (and kept that gain manageable, yay!) and about 3 pounds more.

Long walks on the beach ... only if it's not too crowded!

Hai Der, My name is Jakub, I go by the name of Captain Nemo just about everywhere else or Crossbow1123 as my gamer handle for Xbox

18 years old

Male

I RP for a game called Freelancer and its Mod (Discovery)

LARP?? No idea what LARP is :P

I want to go down about 50 pounds or so

I've lost no weight, just started

And I'd love a walk on the beach!

My name is Callie, I'm 30 years old, gamer girl. I love Roleplaying Games. Currently in a Shadowrun game. Have been gaming for about 15 years now. I used to LARP all the time! Stopped because of drama and had other things on my plate. Though after I get back in shape I may go back for a little bit. I love costuming!

I want to be back to what I was in the Marines, around 155 (with muscles!) and flexibility again. I miss martial arts and dance, and would love to get back into fencing part time.

I started at 245, the biggest I"ve been in my life, and have dropped down to 224 already. I took out everything I was allergic too and started the Paleo diet. Love it. I feel amazing.

My goal really.....I want to be a ninja someday

Let's see, I'm 30, female, have a 2 year old and play a wide variety of games. PC, console, table top, live action, doesn't matter. For the last 5 years or so I've been mostly playing WoW but I started with Legend of Zelda at the tender age of 6. Moved on to Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider, Mortal Kombat, Doom, Resident Evil, Baldur's Gate, Heroes of Might & Magic, Neverwinter Nights, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, KOTOR, Fable, Dragon Age and probably a hundred or so other games in between. My favourite genre is RPGs but I will give most games a decent shot. I played D&D 2nd and 3rd editions for awhile but lost my group when I moved to the UK. I've LARPed a couple times, nothing too serious. I was socially awkward penguin and played a mute character so I wouldn't have to talk!

I want to lose 65 lbs or so. We'll see how things shape up when I get close to my initial goal. I've only lost 5 lbs so far.

Feel free to add me if you want some friends. I haven't got many since I've only recently joined MFP.

I'm Serena - I'm 29, and have lost 34lbs (*All thanks to my Wii and EASA series*) I started on MFP at 227lbs, was down to 183, but am back to 194 and I swear I will never see the number 2 in the front again! My Long Term goal is to be 150, and smoking hot, lol.

I went back to work in the past year, working as a preK teacher, but I was lucky to spend the time before that raising two little boys! Both are in school now, so it was time for Mom to get her butt in gear.

As for gaming, my dad used to work for Atari, and games have always been a part of my life. I've had almost every system, but now currently use my Wii and Xbox more than anything - gamer tag Seren Mom. We just got a Kinect for Christmas, and I have started using Your Shape Revolution 2012 to pump up my workouts. But when not working out, I'm totally addicted to Skyrim and the Lego games *thanks to my kiddo!*

I play almost everything. From rpgs, to shooters, to action, to sports. Pretty well rounded. Got a PS3 and a Xbox, but my PS3 is usually collecting dust unless I'm watching Blu-Rays

I use to rp back in Yahoo Chat back in High School 1999-2003. ( T1 God...Lol ) but not since then!

I want to lose about 40-50 pounds. Trying to shed this bodyfat so I can put this muscle on. Yess!!

Lost about 10 pounds thus far and still losing. P90X is no joke!

Walk on the beach? Psh...lets RUN!

RP?

I first RP'd using Yahoo before they went to YahooGroups; a Sailor Moon RPG that a friend of mine needed more characters in. I knew nothing about SM at the time, and adopted more written RPGs more in my range: Star Trek, Stargate (I'm still a member of that RPG and we're still posting!).

I also participated in some RP chatrooms, notably Wolfhome (I still have the files I made for customized poses!)

After written RPGs, I found out about Runecraft, and I still hold a free account with them; I'm a level 21 or 22 character, but my mining, smelting, and smithing levels are way up in the 70s; nothing beats the comments you get from lv. 60 players when you beat them out for the coal mound at lv. 22!

Tabletop RPG started with Spycraft; progressed to D&D 4th edition. I recently GM'd my own short session just before Christmas, and have been asked to do a series with multiple sessions. (Apparently that BA I got in creative writing is good for something other than RPG boards!)

And of course, after I tried tabletop D&D, my friends that got me into it *also* dragged me merrily along into DDO! I play on the Cannith server and have learned that everybody loves a cleric...so I have three of those at varying levels, for when I convince friends to join and they need a buddy to go around with to keep them from getting 'squished'.

LARP?

I have never tried LARP (Live-Action Roleplay for those who have said they didn't know what it was) but there is a six-year-old somewhere inside me that loves to dress up and has never had an excuse to cosplay except on Halloween. I guy I work with has talked me up about a LARP he attends called Shadowmoor and I really *really* want to try it! That's one of the many reasons why I'm getting in shape!

Games?

All gamers point back to a specific game that lets them know there is a plethora of other digital, pixelated worlds out there to explore, and mine was Super Solvers: Treasure Mountain and just about every other game The Learning Company put out when I was a kid.

I grew up on PC games, and have the entire Myst series (although I've never finished Myst V: End of Ages). Those I could just play again and again...except for Riven. Myst III and IV are my favorites!

When I got to college, I found my way into the company of a group of LotR geeks (it was 2002, who wasn't into that?) Through various friendships, I learned about LAN gaming, and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter became a way of life. I also played my very first Nintendo 64 game on a PC emulator: Super Smash Brothers and MarioKart. That was also when I became a huge Legend of Zelda fan; when I played through the Ocarina of Time.

My friends have never ceased to keep educating me, and I've picked up many more games; Sims, Minecraft, Super Mario Galaxy, Lego games of various types, etc. My very smart boyfriend gave me Skyward Sword for Christmas, and it's still fresh in its plastic wrap because I have other commitments to Gladius, Endless Ocean 2, and Super Mario Galaxy. Oh, and writing up that D&D series!

What are your weightloss goals?!

My goal is to reach 170; the top end of the healthy weight range for a 5' 9.75" person. Another is to be more in shape so I can wear a 2-piece suit this summer.

How many pounds have you lost? 47 (I'm still workin' off Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's why the ticker's wrong.)

Walk on the Beach? Well, where else am I going to wear the afore-mentioned 2-piece?

Hello, my name is Anthony and I'm 28. Male.

I do not RP or LARP, I could never get into RPing, thought I sounded silly when I tried. I play all kinds of games, I own a PS3 and my PC. I'm kind of switching to be more of a PC gamer these days. Currently playing SWTOR, waiting on D3 and Final Fantasy. Square, for as bad as they've become always sucker me into buying the games...

I don't have a specific weight loss in mind, I just want to be at a decent and healthy weight by the time I hit 30. I'll go from there afterwards. Probably something between 200-225, but we'll see when I get there. (6'3" btw)

I started eating "clean" December 10th and managed to lose 15lbs by the 1st, for the last 9 days I've been on a Keto diet. Which is Low Carb, High Fat. I love it and managed to lose another 5lbs last week for a sweet 20lbs in 4 weeks. Looking forward to weighing in Sunday.

Walks on the beach? sure... I live in Tampa, FL afterall, the beaches aren't too bad.
