I have gone by a lot of names, I was a total altoholic back when I played WoW. I have been about 2 years free of WoW with a minor relapse after I bought my house. Currently I don't have the net at my house because I was living a far too sedentary life. I work a desk I.T. job so not too much movement there. I made the call and making myself leave the house to use the net has been a great one so far.

My gaming memories go all the way back to Tetris when the screen colors were just a yellowy orange and black, yeah, I started young. I have played a decently wide selection of games: computer, card (ie games like poker and like MtG), tabletop, board, PS2/3, SN, N64, GC, Wii, and heck let's put it out there iPhone. I enjoy watching games be played too but have a nasty habit of snatching the controller away if the player isn't doing something right. I'm a total gamer but most of my gaming now a days is just the occasional board game meetup group and a few random games on my iPhone. I tend toward puzzle and or platform games. Can't stand horror, turns me into a squeaking, flinching mess. FPS? I'd rather be shooting my real guns or my crossbow (not at people mind you.. Squirrels and deer, you've been warned). /nod

What are your weightloss goals?!: Over 100lbs
How many pounds have you lost? from my heaviest point I have lost 21lbs so far. Joined MFP yesterday so just started watching my food intake seriously instead just just kind of winging it.
Walk on the Beach?: I am really more of a Mountain person but I can enjoy a good sunset and or walk anywhere.

Looking forward to kicking buns(the bread kind ) and keeping a meal journal. Shouldn't be too different from a level grind right?

I do a lot of gaming when I'm not working out, and if I'm not working out, I'm reading, watching movies, building models, yada yada yada.... lots of nerdy things. I absolutely love reading, every week I've got a new book to read. But I only read when I'm at work. When I'm home, I'm either watching a movie with my wife, or gaming. sorry books, no time for reading at home.

Hi all! I'm Jo I'm 24 and a single mom so obviously a female I had to stop playing WoW a few months back but I hope I can get back on soon! I currently weigh 195 and I'm trying to get down to 150. I also play Magic and for a while considered starting Warhammer but couldn't really find anyone around me to play with as well I live too far from the beach but if I did live there I would be running on it constantly. I currently try to eat well and walk on the treadmill a lot. I start school in the fall and after school (2 years) I will start to play WoW again tho maybe not as hardcore as I once was (lvl grinded for a week and got to lvl 85)

Feel free to send me a friend request, it would be cool to meet some cool new gamer friends in the same weight loss boat as me!

Hi and thanks for inviting me
My name's Stephenie
I'm 29

I love games. Different types. Right now I'm trying not to be hooked on anything, because they can really consume me, lol. But RPG's are probably my fave. And I'm anxiously awaiting Halo 4.
I joined MFP hoping to lose 40lbs. (I'll re-evaluate when I get there) Then I want to tone up too.
So far, I've lost 14lbs. Although the progress is slow, it's also steady and I'm hoping that will keep me in the proper way for the long run
Walk on the Beach? - yes please But really I do usually once a week or more, hahaha.

Hey all

I'm Leigh Ann, 37 female from Florida. I'm looking to lose about 40lbs and get fit. In my third week of insanity and its bananas!! I love my ps3 and have played many mmos. Former Glaxies, WoW and SWOTR addict lol. I've been too busy to play much lately because of school but I will get back there soon enough. Nice too meet you all and feel free to add me!

Howdy
I am a 34 y/o female from NJ. I'm looking to lose around 60lbs and become health. For the past 5 years i have been playing LOTRO on the big E. I dont rp or larp but i like to lurk and read or watch it. My first MMO was everquest on the playstation and from there i went to lotro and never left... i've tried wow and swotr but i love my LM to much to give up . So my new goal is that i have to walk on the treadmill before i can sit in my computer chair for 4+ hrs of raiding, we shall see tho

Any way feel free to add me and its nice to be part of a gamer/getting health group

Hi, My name is Beth. I'm 30, Female obvi, and a huge geek. My game of choise is played on the table top but I still consider myself a gamer geek and worthy of this group.

My goal is to lose 50 lbs. I went to Dragon*Con last year and I really want to be able to wear all of those cool skimpy outfits. So, here I am. Goal: Be 50lbs down by next year's Con.

Anyway, Hi!

Feel free to add me. I'm looking for all the support I can get.

Hi, I'm Rachael. I saw a few posts up I'm not the only Rachael-but-it's-spelled-like-Michael. I love fantasy and rpg games. My faves are Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Bioshock, and Borderlands. I am an unapologetic Anders fangirl. I like documentaries, long walks on the beach and answering questions out of turn.
Age? 28
Female or male? I'm a lady.
RP? Never have.
LARP? Yes!
What are your weightloss goals?! My initial goal is 55 lbs. I'm going to evaluate how my body looks and feels from that point to figure out what my final goal is. But, you know, cosplay is hard when you're fat ya'all. Right now I'm 260. I know, I know...Damn it's going to take a lot of fabric to make those robes!
How many pounds have you lost? 15
Walk on the Beach? Only if they're long and sandy and smell faintly of fish fish and more fish.

I also have an old school pencil and paper D&D game that I play most Monday nights. We play by 3.5 rules. Our current set of characters are around level 15. I've also played several of the White Wolf games (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage) in the past.

3.5 Conquers all!
Hello all! I'm Jessica, a 19 year old gamer.
Some of my gaming muses are anything D&D, Call of Cthuhlu, Arkham Horror, (Pretty much love tabletop RPGs). I also love Xbox games like minecraft (although its better on PC). Oh.. and never challenge me in Halo or Gears.
I'm relatively fit, because I've integrated so many types of working out into my life. I'm struggling with this last 20 pounds. If I could lose all of that, then I'd be one happy nerd...

Hi everyone! I go by Oishii. Please excuse me for not using my rl name but it's uncommon and I don't feel as safe sharing it online. I am 23 years old and a University student majoring in Linguistics with a minor in Japanese.

Although I started out playing MMORPGs, I am now a console gamer. I have a PS3 and 3DS I love to pieces. My favorite games are Kingdom Hearts (obviously from the ticker), Assassin's Creed, Professor Layton games, anything by Nintendo, Team Ico games, and other JRPGs. I work for a Kingdom Hearts news site called KH13 doing Japanese-English translations. Next week I'll be going to E3 as media which I am so excited for. If you have any recommendations of booths I should visit, let me know.

As far as my goals, I'm trying to get my weight to 130lb, what I was in high school. I may try for a little more than that to get into a size 6 jean, but ultimately I just want to be in the normal BMI range. I'm so glad I changed my lifestyle before I became obese and now I'm working to be out of the overweight range.

I'm Lynsey, I have about 35 lbs too lose. I love mass effect, and uncharted series...I embrace my nerdiness in all it's glory. IM also starting to use my Wii fit again. So here's hoping!

I'm *******, 20, female, from the US. I won't use my name, but you may call me Lovely.
My husband introduced me to most of the gaming I've done, such as guild wars, and the guild wars 2 beta, but I really enjoy the games you can't put down for hours, like any of the Sims games, mario games, (I'm a dork, I loved paper mario!) harvest moon, etc. The games most find boring, I just adore. Except GW, I'm pretty sure that one is popular
I also like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Rock Band.
I'm here for a few reasons, mostly because I gained 100lbs for my perfect baby boy almost 3 years ago and never lost it. I've got something like 170lbs to go.
I do love walking with my son. Everything is so new for him! Almost as thrilling as watching mommy play Child of Eden.
I use my Wii fit also, so maybe that will counteract the not going outside problem.

Name: Jen (or Jo, I answer to both)
Age: 30
Female: Last time I checked... yep
Weight Loss Goal: 145
Current Weight: 281
Weight Lost: 24lbs (don't worry about looking for it, I don't want it back)

I am a member of PMS Clan, and was an active member in their 360 Rhythm Division (RockBand/Guitar Hero) until they closed it about a year ago. I've yet to join another division, although I occasionally play Call of Duty, Bioshock, Borderlands, and other games. My true gaming obsession is RockBand. I've been playing for the past 5 years and play all the instruments on Expert (my friend says I'm a Jill of All Trades player, lol). A group of me and my friends have played in 3 tournaments, and placed in 3rd twice and most recently won 1st place in 2011. I really do love playing, but for a while my friends and I would spend all night playing and drinking lots and lots of alcohol, which wasn't very good for my weight/health but was really fun at the time. But now I have a lot of goals in mind and really need to get rid of this weight. I've cut back on my social drinking significantly, but I'll keep playing RockBand. I especially like playing pro drums as it gives me a chance to move my arms and legs and use up energy.
