Hi my names Justin its nice to meet all of you. I'm a 24 year old male or at least that was the stat of things last I checked. I've done a bit of role playing still play DnD every now and than but I've never larped. Kinda curious about it though. I'd love to drop from 220 to 200 and kinda take it from there. Looking to get some muscle on me as well I've got week flabby arms and that's just no good. On my own I've lost about 10 pounds in about half a year which is also not very good. I'd like to think I work better when I could be held accountable and that's why I'm here. And yes I'd love a walk on the beach.0

Jaimrlx :smokin:
I'm 22 and female.
RP? Sure. I play RPGs and MMORPGs, also I've dabbled into D&D a little bit.
LARP? Never.
I'm currently 178. I am trying to reach my HS weight of 120. A lot of work, but I'll get there eventually.
I've lost 21 lbs from my overall high weight of 199.. and 5 since being on MFP.
Walk on the beach? Sure! Let me grab my laptop.

Ollo! The name's Dany, I'm 22 years old and f to the email. Don't let the name fool you, it's just a testament to Freud's penis theory. I do a lot of text based role play, online gaming such as WoW, The Sims, Tetris, Minesweep and such. I also do a little D&D, Final Fantasy, LBP, stuff like that. I'm very much a girl gamer, but I can sit through a game of Halo and not complain
I started my weight loss about four or five months ago, lost about fifty pounds, then joined MFP to properly keep track of myself. My ultimate goal is 160, but right now I'm aiming to get below 200.
Right now, I'm not gaming as much due to wanting to stay active, plus a lot of my tech stuff got ruined in recent flooding. But, if anyone's interested in chatting you are more than welcome to add me here Good luck everyone! 0 -
Hey, everyone.
Name's Alli. I'm 23 and obviously a chick. :P I roleplay on GaiaOnline as well as IMVU. I also play WoW, Forsaken World and the Sims. I love DanceDanceRevolution, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy. Never LARPed though, but I've been in the position since I'm a con goer. Been to well over a hundred and fifty in my life (yay for having con-going parents!
). I used to attend eight or more a year, but now, I pretty much only go to Dragon*Con or a few small cons near my home.
When I started on MFP back in January of this year, I weighed 204 pounds and looked as well as felt awful. Since then, I've lost 22 pounds and am currently holding steady at 182 with a goal of 154. I want to be skinnier for myself so I'm able to be healthier, but at the same time, I also want to be the type of daughter my parents can brag about for being successful in something. I also would like to look good in a bikini to my boyfriend.
If anyone wants to know more, just message or add me. 0 -

Wanna lose about 65 lbs
Just started
Yes I like longs walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
I started RPGs back in *cough*1982*cough* with the boxed D&D set (not AD&D, that huge step in geekdom came a few months later.
Since then I have played a ton of games. Some of my favorites over the years have been Ultima IV, X-Com: UFO Defense (greatetst game ever), Ultima Online, Everquest, WoW, Rift, City of Heroes, SW:TOR and LOTRO.
REALLY looking forward to Guild Wars 2. I hope they pull it off.0 -
Hey everyone, James here. I'm a 26 year old male, which most of the years have been spent playing games. I enjoy a diverse category of games. I've always been one that has to be constantly playing something so, besides at work I'm usually on my handheld when I get home, then move to computer and play some Diablo then jump over to a console and play some Fifa, Skyrim or Battlefield. I love games, my favorite of all time would have to be Ms. Pacman, first true love, lol. I don't play D&D, but i do like Settlers of Catan. I'd like to lose about 25-30lbs from where i'm at now. Walk on the beach...only if there are zombies invading like Normandy.

Hiiiii! I'm Hannah, I'm 22 and last time I checked I was female I LOVE RP, mainly MMO's, table top and card games (Got to love me some Magic the Gathering, white and/or green every time) and I seriously need to do some more LARP. I aaaaaaalso love to play consoles but with a new puppy the wires have been packed away safe and sound for the past couple of months
which SUCKS as my on/off boyfriend lent me Final Fantasy 7 thru 12.
I want to lose about 100lbs, give or take, and I have no idea how many pounds I've lost so far, but I'm starting to see a bit of a difference.0 -
I am Alaina, I am 24 and about to graduate college. I love all video games. I actually collect consoles (they must be working consoles), and am just missing a couple more to complete my collection. I grew up on the NES, and then on DOS games for the PC. I am very loyal to nintendo, and even though I own other brands, I play Mario, Zelda and other nintendo brands much more. five years ago I graduated from dial-up, and got a beast of a computer. I became a WoW addict. I have several classes at current max level, but hardly log in at this point. I am starting to lose interest in the game it seems, or maybe this expansion and patch are just lasting too long to keep me entertained. So I got Diablo 3. But with summer courses, I don't get to play that much either, and have yet to even get one toon to 60. I must say that playing WoW gave me a lot of confidence and brought out leadership skills in me. I am much more confident in front of real people today than I was before I led raids, a guild, and then went back to being a puppetmaster of the guild leader. I do not play farmville or any other facebook type of games. Back in 2000 or so, I was a hardcore Simmer though.
I want to lose at most 20-25 pounds. I love my curves, and I am barely what I would consider fat anyway. Being a full time student, a part time employee, and a quarter time raid leader gave me little room for exercise in the past, especially with how much I love sleep. But now I am exercising 4-6 days a week, and eating less at the computer. I have outlawed any kind of large quantity anywhere near where I raid, since we all know what happens with a bag of lays while raiding and cussing out all the incompetent morons who play the lovely game.
I started trying to change my lifestyle 6 weeks ago, and have lost 2 pounds since then. I am not cheating on myself, turns out I also have hypothyroidism. Now that I am properly medicated as of this week, hopefully the pounds will be less reluctant to come off.0 -
Hi, I'm Nicole...most of my gaming friends know me as Achtland(no it's not pronounced like the place in Australia, sorry folks). I've been an avid gamer since I was small. My very first gaming addiction was NOT mario(oddly enough). It was mortal combat....for the SNES. My brother used to destroy me. All.The.Time. Until I learned to cheese him on Melena.
Fast forward many moons, and I'm a current WoW guild/raid leader. Yes you nerds, I'm a female, SUCCESSFUL raid/guild leader when i'm not on hiatus. Ladies represent. I'm currently destroying Ghom on inferno as a wizard. I'm a supporter of what I call the real casual gamer. These are people who do indeed play casually but are entirely capable of running with hardcore top gamers in any type of game of preference. I do not believe that casual gaming means bad gaming =D
I've played all the diablo games, multiple final fantasy games(*cry* 10-2 100% ending took up a year of my life). Two zelda games, Mario games of multiple flavours. I was a guild wars 1 baby and I'm currently waiting for guildwars 2 to come out.
I also enjoy long walks on the beach, candle lit din--no I don't.
I've two cats, one dog and a husband(yes they go in the animal category)

Hello world.
I'm Mari. I'm 21. I'm definitely a female. I used to fancy myself a pretty straightforward nerd - video games, comic books, documentaries narrated by Morgan Freeman, etc. Then one day, I was cosplaying at an anime convention, as one does, and had been groped particularly inappropriately by someone who wanted a picture (as tends to happen when one cosplays as a Final Fantasy XIII-2 character), and I felt angry. The next thing I know, I'm foam sword fighting the night away and almost missing the ScrewAttack panel. So, I guess there's more geekiness in me itching to come out and play.
I've lost about 90 lbs and have about 40 to go until I'm in the healthy range. Not entirely sure what my goals are. Just kind of going until I get there.
My video game obsessions at the moment:
Arkham City - a friend of mine pointed out I'd never played Harley Quinn's Revenge, so I went back and played it, and... I then decided to get all of the Riddler's riddles but wasn't comfortable with the game anymore. So I started a new one, and here I am, replaying this damn thing trying to get 100% for the 4th time.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - AC is my favorite video game series of all time. I was ranked in the top 10 in the world for the Brotherhood multiplayer in both manhunt and wanted, but I play Revelations a lot more casually, trying not to burn myself out with the multiplayer, because I want to keep playing it until October when my dear sweet Connor graces my presence.
FIFA Soccer 12
Super Mario World
Most looking forward to:
Assassin's Creed 3
Resident Evil 6 - RE4 is in my top five games of all time, and I'm looking forward to Leon's return.
Bioshock Infinite
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - I played WfC obsessively. Holy crap am I looking forward to this.
Watch Dogs - did anyone else see the preview for that at Ubisoft's E3 press conference? I was drooling.
So feel free to talk to me about anything but FPSs. And WoW. I used to play WoW back in the day, and somewhere between BC and WotLK, I got fed up.0 -
Who are you!
My name is Sean, living in London, Ontario, Canada. Try to game as much as possible, tough when you have a 6 and 8 year old boys looking to do the same thing as dad. Right now, i have Max Payne 3, Kingdoms of Amular, Jax and Dexter on the go. I need to finish off my Mass effect trilogy with my 3 created characters, but waiting for GOY edition. Gaming isn't my only thing, i play baseball, golf (disc and clubs), tennis, and volleyball as well as hit the gym 5 days a week (3 days of weights, 2 days of spin!). I am not your typical geek, if there is one. I work as a business analyst for an investment/insurance company.

Hello Everyone. My name is Alan and I am a 31 year old Male from Michigan. I've always been BIG into video games. Growing up, I have pretty much played just about every type of console system that has been released in the U.S. Right now I mainly play games on my X Box 360, PC, and on Facebook. One of my favorite types of video games are FPS. I also like/love Fighting/Wrestling games, Music Games (Like Rockband & Guitar Hero), and RPGs. I don't have weight loss goals per-say (Since I am kinda skinny to begin with) but what goals I do have are to try to live/eat healthier, gain at least some muscle mass, and to eventually quit smoking.
My favorite video games series are: Resident Evil (I even liked/enjoyed RE 0 (Zero)), Rockband, Guitar Hero, Doom, Left 4 Dead, Mortal Kombat, Bioshock, Diablo, and Silent Hill.
Other than video games, some of my other interests are: Technology, Music, Horror Movies, Guitars, Basses, and Body Art.
I do play the guitar and bass. I also have 14 tattoos & 7 body piercings.0 -
I am nick, 28, male. I played mmo since 2002 and been gaming forever since the nes was a new system. I have played many rpgs and have been introduced to rp Love earth dawn and savage worlds. I played anarchy online until wow came out played wow for about 5 years and then tried tor. Played all 3 mass effects and slwoly working on re playing with the new ending * here is praying*
do not larp dont plan to not my cup of tea ahah
I have lost 23 lbs over the last year and my weigh in i have set for my self is on monday 7/9 bit nervous. i AM last i checked at 307 @ 5'8 and want to be down to 180 to possibly join the reserves.
My ultimate goal is not what the scale says but to have the functionality of my body to do things like jump my back fence if i want or pull my self out of the pool at the side instead of the steps. I have a amazing 6 month old daughter ( see pic) who has made me want to change being a larger guy.
Would love walks on the beach if i lived near them and would love to be able to run on the beach daily ( some day)
Feel free to add me if anyone wishes
I am happy to not have my gaming on right now so i can focus on my daughter and my health but sometimes do miss my wow tanking time
Love ren fair and dressing up for it used to be in theater
and black ops love it but stopped playing once i hit prestige 11
YAY DRAGONS0 -
i'm cara. 30, typical cancer.
i have lady parts, and i grew 2 children in them!
i've been known to rp (and even erp on moonguard!)
never larped, don't think i would be good at it.
i live on a lake, and i have a teensy beach. i love the feeling of sand between my toes, but i don't like going to beaches at oceans. too crowded.
a few years ago i lost 40 pounds doing low carb.. then i got comfortable, gained it all back (i blame wow and all dressed chips)
so i'm ready to lose it again! except maybe 50 pounds this time. i'm exercising now - i didn't last time.
i would much rather stay in and play video games than go out and *gulp* socialize.
my parents bought the original nintendo for me when it first came out and i've been hooked ever since!
i really liked d3 but now it's a bit stale.
wow was my life for 7 years. i'm just super casual now. mop will be fun. my panda is cute!
i've played swtor and rift. i love zelda games. chrono trigger is one of my faves, along with dragon warrior.
i love tv. and watch too many series. doctor who especially (and lots of bbc stuff). i also love whedon. basically if its on tv, i've seen it. unless it sucks. but i've seen a lot of things that suck.
okay i'm done rambling. feel free to add me!0 -
Hey hey!

Age? : 27
Female or male? : male
RP? : I run a 4th ed and Pathfinder campaign and play in a 3.5 campaign. I'm also looking to join a 4th ed Encounters group. So maybe just a tad.

What are your weightloss goals?! : I arbitrarily picked 165lbs as my end weight but I just want to be small. Nothing too specific.
How many pounds have you lost? 27 so far since joining MFP. I was at 410lbs a couple years back. Now I'm at 359 lbs.
Walk on the Beach? : If it's a mid 70's day with overcast sky and the sand isn't scalding hot and there's no trash or other crap on the beach... sure!0 -
Yup. It happened.
I failed.
But alas I had another life. Quel Suprise!!! (gods i love video games)
So heres the rub. I was a faithful member of this site for over 8 months. I was happy here, met some great people and even started seeing results doing Jamie Easons LIve Fit program. Well around the beginning of May I went on vaca with my hubby and fell off the wagon. I even tried so hard while i was on vaca to eat right and stay within my calorie range and went for a run every morning. So 2 weeks pass and I finally get home thinking that it was going to be easy for me to get right back into the swing of things. And heres where the EPIC FAIL comes in. I got lazy, side tracked, busy, depressed and just down right stopped careing.
SOooo May goes by, as does June and I have gained back the few llbs that I lost. *SIDENOTE* I was never really trying to lose alot of weight in the first place, it was just sad to see it come back so fast * Somewhere near the end of June, I had gotten really low on myself and was looking at my MFP account and looking at a pic I had put up that i thought looked really good and had been proud to put up. Then I saw it... the delete account button... and I pressed it and then imediately regretted it.
It has now been a couple weeks since this tragic event and I have come back with a vengence. As of today I have logged everything I have eaten and started Day 1 of P90X. I am slowly realizing I should always be proud of what I have and now I need to make sure I am held accountable for my actions. I had some amazing people on my friends list before, and if I could have remembered everyone I would have re-added you as friends. So this is a cry out to all my OLD buddies who havent abandoned me and to a whole range of NEW ones I am hoping to gain from this inspirational website. I am here to stay so scooch on down the couch( and or make room in the gym ) and pass me that controller cause i'm gonna whoop some dragons this time around...0 -
Hello ladies and gents. I have been on this site for a while now and been a member of the group about a week but never said hello. My name is Jennie, I am 29 and from NJ. I am currently working on getting healthy after years of weight gain after being medicated in my teens and then just eating too much while gaming in my 20's!
My first memory of gaming came when I was like 6 and my parents got me a puppy. After a couple months of me sneezing and coughing nonstop and a doctor telling me I had allergies to dogs. My parents softened the blow of giving up said puppy by buying me a brand new NES. I was thrilled.
Over the years I went from kiddy Mario games to FPS like Halo 1 2 and 3, into MMOs like WoW, Aion and SWTOR. I was a hardcore raider for a couple years and after playing WoW for 6 years I decided to quit and try out SWTOR. Recently I haven't played much but pretty excited that we have a casual WoW guild going in here. I might signup for a month and see what happens.
Always looking for more gaming buddies. If I join the guild I'll have the same username for my toon. My XBOX tag is Sphyxy as well.
Hope to meet some more awesome people.0 -

Hello guys. My name is Tiffany. I am 22 years old. I haven't lost any yet but I am hopeful.
The Legend of Zelda are my favorite games ever! I have played all of them. My favorite has to be Ocarina of Time. Anyone else like LoZ? 0 -
Hey all! My name is Ashley, I'm 22, about to be 23 at the end of this month. I'm female, I've lost 17 pounds so far and a bunch to go (Roughly 60). I'm a PC gal myself. I enjoy MMORPGs mostly, but have played lots of other stuff. Definitely a RPer. ;P Anyways! Great to see all this gamers getting in shape and sexy!0

Hi! I am 29, and turning 30 soon. I enjoy video games and Dungeons and Dragons. I am currently down 85 pounds, and my first goal is to reach 220, with a secondary goal of 185. When I reach 185, my final goal is to drop my body fat % to a level that allows me to live comfortably, but still have an aesthetically pleasing figure (and hopefully a six-pack!). I used to play MMO's quite heavily, but I hardly have time for that anymore with my job, let alone Dungeons and Dragons. I play mostly on PS3, and would love to hang out there with anyone who has the same aspirations.0
