That isn't fair, some of the games we play require us to stand up! :P I hear you though, working on it :)

I too forgot to intro. My name is Steve, I'm kickin' back in Australia (Melbourne) and I am definately a geek - the good old fashioned RPG & tabletop games kind! Aside from that I enjoy scaring the neighbourhood with loud noises from either guitars or motorcycles. My superpower is being able to write and GM…

pasta or rice? (pasta but it's bloody close!) waffle or french toast (waffle if forced to pick, not a big fan of either) mashed potato or french fries (mash) strawberries or cherries (strawberries - I'm a fiend with these things!!!! Now I need some, damn it....) snickers or twix (Twix, but the excuse for "chocolate" on…

I'm also pretty new, and I started this at about 365lbs, at my heaviest I was around 390lbs (I work in metric, conversions are not perfect). I've found the main factors seem to be: 1. Avoiding habitual eating. This is when you feel "hungry" more out of reflex than anything else - kinda Pavlov's Dog in essence. This you…

Another tabletop gamer here? Awesome! Feel free to add me if you want some more geeky types trying to lose the "gamer physique". Like you I have a lot of weight to shift and I'm still pretty new on MFP.

I'm also new on the site and have a lot of weight to dispose of. Feel free to add me if you don't mind someone who calls things as they see them.

Our dog has a name I never bother to use and just call her Muttley (after the Wacky Races). She answers to that happily, which serves to suitably annoy my wife :)

I tend to run very loud (read: metal) music to block out the gym's system as they seem to take delight in bombarding us with Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. Grrrrr! The current favourites are: Sabaton: Metal Crue (from Attero Dominatus) Nightwish: Over The Hills & Far Away (cover, live version from End of an Era) Within…

It's not new, but I think it was well thought out. Props to the author! http://www.thevine.com.au/entertainment/movies/the-right-way-to-watch-star-wars/ How to deal with all existing SW movies

A great many things, hence the problem with an expanded waistline! :) Seriously though, right now the best thing i can think of would be freshly baked (home made) bread with butter and Vegemite.

If that's you in the profile pic, then I think there is only one thing you are lacking - CONFIDENCE. Once you build some self esteem, an assurity of who you are and are comfortable with yourself then trust me, you will definately NOT be ugly - indeed quite the opposite I would say! If losing some weight is the catalyst to…

I guess we'll see. So long as we don't get "Jar Jar the Jedi" or "The Disney Princesses Strike Back" then I'm trying (forcing myself) to wait and see.

Spot of threadomancy here but still... Gamer here, mostly RPGs (pen'n'paper ones, I DM/GM/Ref/Storytell in a dozen systems), some MMOs, miniature wargames (currently on a Warmachine/Hordes kick), and miscellaneous PC games. Always happy to make new friends in the gaming community. Nerd up! :)

Never give up good quality chocolate! This is my pick for the best of the best that I've had: http://www.valrhona-chocolate.com/ampamakia One square of that is quite big in size, so break it into pieces. Let it dissolve slowly on your tongue and move it around your mouth to get all the various flavours from it. Never just…

Depends on what you want it to be in the end. If you want to keep the creamy, cheesy style then I'd suggest the following: Make the basis for the sauce by using low fat milk thickened with cornflour (corn starch), then melt some strong cheese (eg: parmesan) into it. You'll get the texture and cheesiness but without using…

Aussie Bodies Protein FX Low Carb http://www.aussiebodies.com.au/product/proteinfx-lo-carb-powder Easy to get (supermarkets carry it), not too expensive and gets the job done. I only have it post-workout though.

"Do you love him or is it just fear of the unknown that makes you stay??" ^^^ This. Best question you will EVER answer for yourself (and you can swap a hell of a lot in place of "do you love him". There's no advice I can give you for your situation, but I sincerely hope you discover the answer quickly and begin taking…

Sounds like a common thing. I've been through the gamut of drinking WAY too much (it's embarassing to admit the amount of cola I used to drink, suffice to say it was significantly in excess of 12 cans per day, 6 days a week). Made the choice to drop it in Jan 2011 - went cold turkey for the first 3 months. Had 3 weeks…

Another option would be to create the sensation of the wings with something healthier. Bone-in chicken thighs or ribs, remove skin and excess fat. So you'll have the eating-with-hands feel of the wing. Try this recipe (for an entire chicken, adjust cooking times as required) to make something similar that will be really…

Geek reporting for duty! Geek credentials: Real RPG (as in pen&paper) player & GM of over a dozen systems, wargamer, miniature builder/painter, SFF movie/TV/literature fan, technical IT job, know the entire script of Monty Python & the Holy Grail... do I qualify? :)

I'd managed to get around the weight issue for many years. I had a series of breaking points all within about a week in the end, which got me going. The main ones were: 1. My wife, who has lost over 50kg (110lbs) herself in 2 years, asking me not to widow her by dying early (my peak weight reached 174kg - around 380lbs) 2.…

Kraft - Vegemite Masterfoods - Tomato Sauce Great Ocean Road No Fat Milk Banana - Raw Strawberries - Fresh I'm really not surprised by that either!

I highly recommend this link for some low-cal foods that are still fun and extremely tasty. Plus the boys who cook them are a great laugh. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/search?programmes[]=p00vq8c6

Not enough bikes in this thread! :) Car: 2004 Holden VY Commodore SV8 (5.7L V8 w/6 speed) Ride: 1999 Yamaha XV1600A Road Star (modded with hypercharger, pipes, ignition kit, etc) Car looks like any other of it's type, but here's a picture of my ride from a couple years ago with the old 2-in-1 pipes on it.…
