    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!

    Who are you! Katie, Key, VelvetKey or a variant thereof....

    Age? 27.5

    Female or male? Female

    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?

    i am jenni!

    i'm a girl, in game and out! rpgs on xbox, no larping.

    i heart skyrim right now, but l4d, mass effect, dragon age, call of duty also happens.

    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. :D

    Hi I'm Elke and I'm 36.

    I have been a gamer since I was a little girl starting with King's Quest and progressing through the Sierra game series. Currently I play WoW as well as SWoTR and am desperately awaiting Diablo III. I also love The Sims. I'm not a huge console gamer, but I did enjoy Morrowwind and also have Skyrim.

    I run a web development firm and have been working as a programmer for the last 8 years.

    I'm not worried so much about my weight (okay maybe a little) as I am just keeping fit and feeling good. There's nothing like when I'm working out and eating right.

    I don't do much RP per se but I do enjoy cosplaying. This last year I was Tyrande at Blizzcon.

    I'm a 27 yr old gamer.
    I tend to stick to computer games, such as Skyrim and the Binding of Isaac. I can't wait for ME3 and Diablo3. If not on the computer then definitely on the DS. I adore Harvest Moon and Rune Factory games.

    Ideally I'd like to shed 100 pounds. That seems very doable to me, I just have an issue with getting up and getting going.
    I lost a good 20 but gained back quite a bit during the holidays. Being out of my normal routine was pretty bad.

    What are your weightloss goals?!
    Cut 30-40 lbs more of fat, lean out to close to 10% and then slow bulk back to 160 - 170 lbs @ no more than 12-15% bf.

    How many pounds have you lost?
    I'm 5'6"
    Started March 2009 @ 316 lbs
    In Oct 2010 I was @ my lowest of 158 lbs
    Total loss at that time of 158 lbs

    Nov '10 - Jan '12 were spent attempting my first bulk. Didn't go quite as planned but was a learning experience.

    Current weight of 176, looking to get in the 135 - 145 lb range for now depending on what the mirror says and my BF% is.

    37 yo female Geek addicted to all COD games. Not loving the new one but it may be because I haven't had much time lately to play and I suck at it. Also just branched out with battlefield. Lost 28.4 pounds so far. 75 is my goal by midsummer hopefully. I have xbox and ps3 but prefer gaming on xbox. Also do the dance games on kinect.

    23 year old male, play a lot of PC games, Minecraft, Left 4 Dead 2, lot of single player stuff. Also play a lot of Saints Row and Rocksmith right now on the XBox.

    I've got an ongoing DnD campaign with my wife and some friends.

    My goal is to get down to 190 lbs (a healthy BMI for my height) since I'm in the military and fitness is something they want from me. (for some reason... I work at a desk job!) Not only that, I'm sick of having this gut and would like to be rid of it forever.

    I don't do a whole lot of multiplayer stuff but that's because I hate random people. I'd love to make friends with some people from here and play!

    Hi! I'm Julie/Julesong and am a casual gamer but overall big geek. :) I mostly play WoW. I have a 360 and don't yet have a Kinnect although I will get one in the future simply for the physical activity games.

    Big into scifi/fantasy books, writing, television, movies... especially Firefly. Literally I'm a huge Browncoat. :)
