Greeting! My name is Lisamarie and I'm 37 and proud to still be a gamer geek AND breaking the stereotype that all gamers are lazy. My gaming addiction started with the Atari 2600 and hasn't stopped since. I've had pretty much every system up until I lost my job and had to stop at getting a PS3 and XBOX2. (Crossing fingers…

When I'm on the treadmill or elliptical, I like to watch all the movies I've been collecting on the DVR and forgetting about (kill two birds with one stone so to speak.) It keep my brain occupied long enough that I can (sometimes) forget that I'm exercising. Listening to my music only goes so far as a distraction - most of…

Every single time I do Jillian Michaels' DVDs and I'm doing floor work that involves planking stances both my cats think this is the perfect time to climb on me, over me and generally use me as a neat new plaything. Another time one got too curious about the treadmill when I was running - he jumped on, I had to jump over…

Welcome aboard! Friend request sent. If you keep an open and honest food/exercise diary (even on "bad" days), an open mind when your MFPals offer advice, eat smart and exercise regularly (even if you just walk) you'll reach your goal. It won't happen overnight, you have to work for it - and sometimes it gets frustrating…

If you are doing weight/strength training along with cardio you're building muscle while burning fat. So, since muscle is heavier, the scale may not move even as you're blasting that fat away. I judge my progress by my clothing now. The scale hasn't moved since November last year but I went down 2 sizes in jeans which is…

Absolutely fantastic job! You look amazing!

Gaming since the parents gave me an Atari 2600 - so you can blame them for starting it. :bigsmile: First real computer games were Duke Nukem and Doom - god I love those games still. Have had pretty much every console sytem except the PS3, XBOX360 and Wii (no job, no new consoles :sad: ) Now it's WoW, D3, Skyrim, Dragon Age…

My suggestions to you would be: Set reasonable mini-goals, keep an honest food/exercise diary (even on "bad" days), exercise as often as you can (pushing yourself a little harder every time) and surround yourself…

I personally don't like unfriending. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes life happens and situations change and you can't long on for a while. You never know what their reason is for vanishing for an extended period. Family, health or computer issues - you never know. When I was away for nearly a…
