Hi,

I'm 27 and way over weight and I figure I could lose a 100 so pounds. Last fall I started @ 334 and got to the point where I couldn't lose anymore 301 so started on this site to see what I'm actually eating. I've seen some good success so far but I know another wall coming up but I'm sure I can claim over it again.

Gaming wise I'm into PC Gaming & 3DS. I use to have a PS3 and Wii but they ended up collecting dust to $60 is a big chunk of money and the DLC made games out of my reach. So I went back to PC and I've enjoyed it so much more. I never did RP or LARP before and have no interest too.

Games I'm into atm:
Mario Kart 7
Tribes:Ascend
WoW
Counter-Strike:Source
Bastion
Dirt 3

Salutations! My name is Sarah (also known as Kennit or Kitrille) and I live in PEI, Canada. Last time I weighed myself (about two weeks ago), I clocked in at 206lbs. I haven't weighed myself since, but judging from my jeans I've lost something because I need a belt now where I didn't before. My goal is to get to 140, and then re-evaluate.

I'm lazy and poor, neither of which are conducive to my goal. But through the use of videos and my student gym pass combined with a primal diet approach, I think I can get there. Tracking my food and exercise on here is a big help. Anything I can do at home on the cheap is ideal.

I turned 30 today. My birthday gift to myself this year was a sweet deal on a Sega Dreamcast + Resident Evil 2. Needless to say, I'm downloading a lot of ISOs right now! (To say nothing of NES/SNES/N64/Genesis ROMs).

I love gaming with my husband and friends. D&D 3.5 is the crowd favourite, along with a couple of homebrew systems and a touch of Shadowrun. We plan on running a Thieve's World campaign at some point. We're also big board game people, especially Apples to Apples, Settlers of Cataan, Carcasonne and Arkham Horror.

As for video games, I tend to stick to key series, namely Elder Scrolls, Civilization, Super Mario and Tetris; along with a few other classics. Skyrim pretty much lives in the 360 right now though.

Did I mention we're also bibliophiles and I'm a journalism student? Throw in a myriad of fandoms (biggest being Dune, Doctor Who, Firefly, The Count of Monte Cristo, Fringe and Caprica to name a few), far too many obscure interests and a terrible sense of self-worth and that's me in a nutshell.

If you like Apples to Apples, and you think your soul may have vacated you, you'll also like "Cards against Humanity."

I was going to say, have you tried Boxers or Briefs? Great party game, in the same vein as Apples to Apples but far more personal and hysterical.

I'm Spricia - 59, grandmother of 2, and from Sedona, Arizona. I'd like to get in shape in order to run around with the little ones, and I know that a healthier diet certainly makes me feel better. Just being accountable for the food I eat and logging it, and logging my walks has made me keep on track, and I feel more energy already, only after 3 days.

I'm a recovering WoW mage. Made all combinations of toons but my fave was my gnome mage. Played nearly daily since vanilla and finally decided that I still was, and will always be, a noob. I had even gotten my son hooked on WoW and he passed me by within a couple of months because he took it more seriously than I did. Still, I was a lover of the AH and had no difficulty making gold. I just really had no desire to spend it, had little interest in gear and weapons, and didn't enjoy dungeons at all. Right, noob. After Cat the game lost all fun, plus my partner couldn't play anymore so the game lost its luster.

So, I got off my butt and away from the computer and joined an improv troupe in Sedona. Way fun, and it gets me up and moving. Still, thinking about reactivating for Pandaria just for old times sake.

Hey geekilngs!

I'm DeDe and I'm only 18, which seems to be pretty young on here! I am a lady of gaming! I'm a big gamer, and recently am getting into Steam. I love classic gaming Zelda, Mario, Kirby and such. But also a huge fan of Bioshock and horror games! Do we have any Team Fortress Two players here??

I only want to lose around 20-30 pounds or so. It wouldn't be awful, but my hourglass shape tends to have a lot of weight in mah belly. This group seems fun and more of my kind of thing. Hope we can all motivate each other!!

I'm Dave, I guess I am kinda an 'old school' gamer. Started with Atari and was hooked. Now I mainly play MMOs and PS3. Looking forward to The Secret World.

I weigh 283 lbs and my goal is 215. Feel free to add as friend.

Hello!

I'm Paige, female, 26, and I live in Dallas. I've been gaming since I was about 5, so I've got a nice nerdy base to stand on. I'm married to another gamer and we've got a 2-year-old daughter. I met my husband online, but not in-game, and he says he knew I was a keeper when he saw the MUD maps on my desk in my room. (He actually picked one up and asked if I knew what it was, which I found hilarious.)

I used to RP in AOL chatrooms (read at least one other person who did that, lawl & HII!) and play D&D, but it's been a long time for either. I've been playing WoW about 7 years, recently returned to it after playing SW:TOR for a bit. (Server population killed my raid. =,( ) We were hardcore raiders once upon a time, but pretty casual now. PC > Consoles. Our PS3 is basically just a DVD player these days, but I play Kinect games to get moving on the days I don't/can't go to the gym. I've never LARPed - not to say I wouldn't, though my husband would make fun of me 'til the end of time.

As far as weight loss goes, my goals are more about what I want to be and do than how much I want to weigh. I want to be able to DO anything I want physically without my fitness level stopping me or preventing me from enjoying it. I want to BE healthy and resilient. Tomorrow I'm doing an easy 5K mud run. Next year I want to do one of the harder ones. I've lost 18 lbs so far and need to lose another 28 to be at a "healthy" weight. From there, I'm not sure how low I want to go, but I think 125 lbs should be about right for athletic at my height (5'2").

Beach? Meh. Give me mountains and trees any day.

I'm new here, so I need more friends to motivate and help motivate me =D

I'm Mamie, 29, F, NC, 5'6-ish, 312 lbs... I'm going to school for Graphic Arts and when I'm not doing TONS of homework or taking care of my Mother (she's disabled), *breathe* I play WoW. I'm like really addicted to it... its sad. I tend to play more Computer games than console games, although I do have a PS2, PsP, and DS... they get some good wear every now and then.

I have set little weight lose goals, my first is to get below 300 lbs. Ultimately I want to weigh around 170-ish. I started a medically managed weight lose program in november, and the dietician told me about this website because it has an app for my phone. Keeping count of calories is the hardest thing for me. I've lost about 12 lbs since then and its been rough, but I figure if I can lose weight during the holiday's then the rest of the year will be a cake walk.

Hi I'm Cortney, 31 year old female, wife, mom. I have been using MFP since last year but haven't really utilized the forum until recently.
I am into FPS, RPG's, Active body games (Wii fit, DDR, Just Dance, Your shape, ect...) and MMO gaming as well as application games, handheld games, and board games. Desktop computers, ipads, ipod, kindle, Nintendo DS, and Wii all have a place in my home. I don't actually play much of the table top but I really enjoy painting and sculpting game pieces and creating cosplay wear for my other nerdy friends.
I have really enjoyed Skyrim, Guildwars, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Rift, and Left for Dead, Zelda, Final Fantasy. Toured WoW, LORTO, and SWotOR. Great stuff. Can't wait for GuildWars2. Still into Just Dance. My ipod and phone are filled with game theme songs, it's always interesting to see how people react when they come on over the stereo instead of in game (Woah isn't this Ocarina of Time?) Silly!
Just over half way on my weight loss journey. I am going to keep trying!
