Nice to meet you all! I said everything about me really in my blog already, but a recap is I am the founder of PMS Clan and the team captain/founding member of Ubisof'ts Frag Dolls team.

Every since I first started online gaming, I have been fascinated with playing and meeting other girl gamers- and kicking *kitten* as a group. As a minority in competitive gaming I LOVE beating the s*** talkers who attack us because we are female. We are automatically, fat, ugly, or worse in the console world. I do find however, that females get much less flack on PC and MMO games of course. It's not that I hate boys, my hubby begs to differ, it's just I automatically feel an intensive bond with most other female gamers.

I consider myself a bit of an activist for all gamers, but of course especially the females as a minority (once again competitive side, we own the casual market already ). I also used to compete professionally in MLG and hope to be doing so again soon! I pretty much love all kinds of games, except sports, and have that normal gamer addition in me. Once I start a game I have to beat it in every way before I will quit! I particularly love FPS, RPG, Puzzle, and Survival/Horror genres the most.

I was on season 1 of WCG Ultimate Gamer which was a gaming reality show that broadcast on SyFy channel a few years back (lasted 2 seasons) and was an amazing, surreal experience.

I hope to help promote a gamer fitness movement, and would love to incorporate all kinds of active games and do live streams (as well as get others to live stream) so others can work out with us on games without having to own them. That's my dream and plans to help me stay motivated in my weight-loss management!

Starting Monday, I will be on the Optifast all liquid diet for 3+ months until I hit my goal weight of 125 lbs (55lbs lighter). I will also be incorporating fitness games off the bat (Just Dance for now), biking on my new bike, and light weight training at the gym to start getting into a healthy exercise routine going.

That' me in a nutshell and nice to see YOU all posting your intros. I love reading history's!

Hello!

I had my introduction to gaming with the Commodore 64 and the Atari 2600 lol. I love playing video games of all types, it just depends on my moods. I play the PS3, XBox360, Wii, and PC. My children (12, 10, 9) are all very avid gamers. Don't worry, they have to balance that with playing outdoors, eating right, reading books, and making good grades in school.

I am 210 lbs and though I have a thicker frame, that is way too much for my 5'1 body. I have several health problems, most of which are caused by the stress of my weight and not eating right. I want to get to 150 lbs eventually because I think that's a good, safe weight for me. It's going to take a lot of discipline and determination to get there. I'm really bad about making every excuse in the book on why I don't have time. Thanks to Valkyrie though, I can't really make any now! I'm looking forward to getting healthy. I'm also going to therapy to work on my mental health, which will hopefully help me stop binge eating for comfort, and help me focus.

I am going to LOVE seeing you start to lose and become healthier Zombie! I think you should use active games for the family and make it fun since you have gamer kids! You can set up some challenges and try to beat each others scores for a family "prize". I would love to see someone that has a family use it as a "family fitness" thing and tell other people that kind of story. Then you can help the them become fit too which will help you with your goals as well as help others extend their fitness to their families too!

My hubby is very healthy and fit, to an annoying degree actually as he is always bugging me. But now I am going to be thankful he is always asking me if I want to bike, walk or work out. I think he will be a huge source of support and motivation now that I am actually ready lol!

I don't know about you guys but I can't WAIT to post before and after pics. I don't know if you read the success stories threads in the main forums, but they are VERY motivating. You can't even recognize many in the +100 lbs lost thread.

I think this is why this site is going to be so helpful for us all, the support and motivation of each other will be a huge key!

you all!

Hey everyone, my name is Chris and I'm a 24 year old gamer!

I've been gaming since the age of 3, starting off in the arcades then getting with the original Gameboy at release, since then, I've been hooked. Growing up I had a Sega Master, Sony Playsation, N64, Gamecube, PS2, GameGear, Virtual Boy (yea I know lol), Xbox, and now I'm playing on the 360 and PS3 (don't really use this often). I spent most of my childhood inside playing a ton of games instead of playing outside. My favorites ranged from Final Fantasy 7, Spyro, Mario (all of them, kart, party, etc), WWF, Need For Speed, and especially all games from Rockstar Games.

My senior year of high school, I decided that I wanted to make this crazy obsession of mine into a career so I headed to college and majored in Game Development, concentration in design. I worked through college, got an internship and had a job after graduation. I'm currently still in the industry and hope to grow with the progression of this one of a kind industry. I LOVE MY JOB!

Obviously staying inside all the time made me a fat kid lol. I struggled with weight all my life, going from high school to college I did manage to lose a bit of weight but gained it back.

I joined MFP about a year and a half ago and it has completely changed the way I eat and my prospective on food. I strongly believe that MFP can help ANYONE with the right amount of determination. I'm on here everyday (Xbox 360 too haha) and like to read success stories, articles on health and foods, and meet new friends of course (especially gamers)!

Thanks for accepting me

Yay, another gaming industry addition, sweet! Are you able to share what company you work for, I'd be curious to know

Nice to meet you new additions, some great games you all play

Hi I'm Donna, a 40+ year old from Sweden, with 4 kids.

I really started to play as a child when the first Nintendo came to sweden. I just loved to play... and continued!

We have PS3, xbox360, nintendo wii.. ipad... and we all love to play.
Anyway, beside the gym I love Yoga HD on my iPad and Zumba on the xbox and your shape fitness on ps3...
Just to bad it's so hard to find the time to be playing more!

Nice to meet you Donna!!! What's the best yoga program for someone wanting to start with basics? I am totally interested!

I love the app All-in YOGA HD: 300 poses & Yoga classes on the iPad. You just have everything there! From beginners to Guru.. programs for fitness, to curb digestion problems to energy boost to slender legs or waist, to destress, prevent headaches, burning desire... just name it! Videoinstructions if you need, and always pictures of the pose. Looks really nice too. Programs from 12 min to 89 min I think..
Really recomend it!

Darn, I don't have an ipad as I have my mac book pro and kindle. But I DID just order a 3 dvd set for yoga and another one for Pilates!!! Can't wait to try them out!
