I'm Sharon, 33, Female

I need to lose almost 100 pounds to be in a healthy weight range. So far I don't know how much I have lost we shall see on Monday.

As for gaming... LOVE IT! Started with Atari and PC games on my parent's IBM compatible computer. PC games I have enjoyed are all of the Monkey Islands (arguably best games ever!!!) Maniac Mansion, Wolfenstein. After Atari we went the Nintendo path and then Dreamcast and finally XBOX!!!

I used to be a Halo fan big time! You would find me online with my brother everyday playing online. I switched to Call of Duty Black Ops and prestiged to 15! OH YEAH! KDR is decent too!! I started Modern Warfare 3 and was really enjoying kicking peoples butts until....................SANTA BROUGHT ME SKYRIM! Now I wasn't a fan of Oblivion but my sister started talking about Skyrim and I got it for Christmas and well it's paused right now while I fill out my info for the night on here. I AM HOOKED!!

I love all of the Lego games, Fables, and I even dabbled in the karaoke and Rock Band/Guitar Hero games! My gamertag is SharonTheJedi. Feel free to add me! I am a 360 ADDICT!!!

Greetings.

My name is Nicole (or Nic, if you prefer). I'm 32 and female. I love all things game related: board games (i.e. Monopoly, Catan, Zombies, etc.), video games (i.e. Dragon Age, Final Fantasy VII, Fallout, etc.), RPG's (i.e. Gurps, Hero system, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, a little D&D). I haven't actually LARPed but there is talk of LARPING "Bus Stop" (I doubt this will ever happen.

Somehow I've allowed myself to become this gelatinous blob and I need to change that. Putting the weight on was easy (of course it was) and taking it off will be challenging (to say the very least). My father passed away in September and I know that if I don't change things, my future won't be much different. After being diagnosed with food allergies back in October, I have been working on changing my diet. (Damn those habits, they die so very hard!) As a result, I've lost 10 pounds. I'm working on incorporating exercise into my daily routine. A month ago, through the miracle that is my FSA (with assistance of a note from my doctor), I procured an elliptical trainer. Last week, I finally got it assembled.

And now I just need to use it.

Oregon beaches kind of suck: the water is always cold, the beach is usually pretty rocky, and much of the time it's overcast and cold. That being said, I love them.

Who are you! Claire, Southampton UK

What are your weightloss goals?! want to lose about 35lbs
How many pounds have you lost? 14
Walk on the Beach? I do love to walk on the beach but dont live close enough to a nice one... well unless its summer and I fancy the marina.




You get it!

My name is Angel; I'm 22. I the girl in my profile picture (The other is my boyfriend, Davis.)
I've lost 20 pounds before I joined MFP, and I'm working on the last stretch of my weightloss, hoping to get there by April.
I do LARP occasionally; my friends and I tried starting our own clan, since the nearest one is a bit too far of a drive, but we didn't get enough support. We still make weapons, usually just LARP replicas of weapons from video games or movies. I think it's a great workout; we sometimes get together and play capture the flag still.
I'm not big on first person shooters, but just about anything else I have. My boyfriend works at a video game store, so I have plenty. Right now, however, I'm addicted to Skyrim, which is unfortunate since I haven't finished the new Assassin's Creed yet.
Also, I have 5 cats.....

Ooops! I missed something important! I am currently between 208 and 213 depending on the scale, my favorite of course being the one with the lower number. My first goal is to get to 185. Then? I don't know. I just want to see onederland.

I am training for the zombie 5k in Atlanta and as long as there are no pullups or monkeybars for my trex arm I think I'll be ready. hehe

Who are you! Eric
Age? 35
Female or male? Male
RP? LARP? No, and I only own 6-sided die.
What are your weightloss goals?! Look at the ticker below!
How many pounds have you lost? Just over 19 as of this morning, a great start this month!
Walk on the Beach? Love it, being originally from California... though I don't like sand in general I enjoy beach towns and the ocean itself.

My name is Bryan Donovan
I am happily married 28 man
I play PS3 (A-A-Bryon65)
I am currently in the 320's, and I would like to hit 240 at least
Down about 5 pounds so far.
Love hanging out with my wife, and 2 year old baby girl. Losing weight for them so I can be a good husband and daddy down the road. I like to play battlefield 3 mostly to unwind, but i like doing all kinds of stuff. I am fun loving and easy going.

Warning -- it might be too long (that's what she said?)

My name is Danny, 40-year-old male, born/raised in Illinois, partied in California before joining the US Army. I've been serving for almost 16 years. Served in Ft Bragg NC, Hunter Airfield GA, Restone Arsenal AL, two tours of Korea, three tours of Iraq, currently stationed at Ft Carson CO.

Current stats -- 5'9 / 230 lbs
Goal weight -- 190 lbs

Throughout my Army career, I pushed myself to the limit and ignored any health issues. I now have chronic arthritis in both of my knees, and I've separated both shoulders. Two years ago, prior to my 3rd combat tour, I suffered a lower back injury. It hurt to stand for more than 10 minutes, let alone do any kind of cardio. The weight came on without mercy. I sank into a deep depression. Injured, slow-healing, and out of shape....not only could I miss going with my unit to Afghanistan this summer, I was at risk of losing a career I love.

One week prior to this post, I woke up around midnight; my chest, right arm, and neck seized up and I couldn't breathe. I thought I was having a heart attack. 911 was called and the ambulance took me to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with pneumonia. I mended quickly, but all I could think was, "Good Lord, I just turned 40, I am NOT going out like this...."

So here I am. I've lost weight before, and I know I can do it again. It will be more challenging this time, because I'm limited at what I can do physically. Running and sit-ups are out of the question. Stretching, back/hip repositioning daily. Cardio sessions will be four days per week at minimum, 45-60 minutes in length, as low-impact as I can get. One hour of weight training, 2-3 days per week. Five small meals a day, spaced out every three hours. No more soda :brokenheart:

I have two Army doctors that are seeing me once every two weeks. My gorgeous wife of 10 years is here to support and encourage me. My Soldiers inspire me every day.

Other than that, I'm a total geek at heart. Played video games ever since I started earning an allowance. I've owned Pong, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, NES, N64, PS2, and PS3. I mainly play PC games now. I'm a recovering WoW addict.

Favorite titles -- SWTOR; SimCity 4 (Societies sucked *kitten*, a new one is needed badly); Anno 2070; Sims 3 (Sims 2 was better); Age of Empires; Modern Warfare 3; Portal 2

Geek -- I'm an active member of the SCA (can't wait to get back in better health, I miss fighting), I play middle eastern drums, love all kinds of music, I play chess, and study medieval history for fun. Looking into 501st Legion participation in the near future. I own the entire Dark Elf saga on hardback (RA Salvatore ftw). My 30-gallon freshwater aquarium decor was inspired by the Ruins of Vash'ijr. When I lived in Alabama, my vanity plates read 'ZUG ZUG'.

Happy to meet you all!

Favorite titles -- SimCity 4 (Societies sucked *kitten*, a new one is needed badly);

Agreed!!!

I'm Alicia! I'm a 5'3 21 year old female if you can't guess my gender by my name. :P

I play about any type of game, but I seem to love fantasy based games the most. Like The Elder Scrolls of course. Which I am currently playing Skyrim among other games.

I mainly play on the Xbox, but I have every new generation system. Well.. I don't have any form of a PSP.. but other than that!

I've lost about 30-40 pounds so far. I'm aiming for 150 which is only 33 pounds away! As of my last weigh in that is. This is going to be my last stretch! I won't stop till I've reached my goal!

Feel free to add me! I'm hoping to make some new friends.
