Any other gay lads on ere losing weight?!

krishatherley

Howdie,

Well, I signed up ! Decided its time to lose a few pounds. Im a 27 year old gay lad in Bournemouth, UK. My height is 6'2 and my weight is currently 14st 8lbs. I would love to get that to below the 14 stone mark.

My aim is to hit the gym come end of the month when I can buy a membership, but in the meantime calorie watching should help too.! Once Ive lost some weight, I wanna start working out on my pecs and get a bit of definition in my body!

Anyway, as im a gay lad, i wondered if there were any other gay peeps on here trying to lose the weight so we can all dance to lady gaga and look great in the clubs!

I'm not sure what your sexual preference has to do with losing weight. (??) This is NOT a dating site. I am glad that you came to the site to lose weight, and you will find all the support you need, but might I suggest you leave the 'personal' ads to the dating sites?

welcome to the site and good luck with your weight loss :drinker:

Im Sorry ODonna but I think you just may have crossed a line there........ What difference does it make if he has asked whether or not there is anyone on here thats gay? Its like my coming on and asking anyone here under 30? Doesnt mean Im looking for a date!!!! Its nice to have someone to relate to the same things you are going through. He might have issues that other gay men might have. I think you owe krishatherley an apology for just presuming he was on here looking for a date. Shame on you.

Thanks XFreckle, and ODonna im extremely offended by your post. Im actually happily married to my husband so certainly am not looking for a date.

The gay scene is a fickle one and one you can't really understand unless your gay. so being able to actually relate to other gay people was my aim, and like Freckle says, I was just asking for a specific area of people I can become friends with on here and discuss our lives and aims and things, like her asking for other people under 30 to relate to.

You've actually quite upset me with your harsh judgement.

Hi krishatherley and welcome! This site is excellent to help losing weight!

ODonna, I assume if you are coming on here and saying you are not happy with krishatherley asking for other gay guys to talk to that you are also on other people's posts complaining about them looking for people in their 20's? or over 50? Living in a certain area in a certain country? What about me, I put out a post asking for people who have gained weight after knee surgery to relate to...am I in the wrong too? This is not a place for criticism and judgement, it is a place for support so please, be supportive! There is no need to put others down when we are all here for a common purpose - fitness!

Good luck with your weightloss krishatherley!

odonna, really, was that necessary. Here was this chap just wanting to lose weght and get to know us. I really dont think that was necessary ,he wasnt hitting on anyone, just looking for folks he could relate to.
Seems with all the gay bashing and suicides lately, people need compasssion and tolerance......me included

Krishasherley, I always love to meet new and interesting folks, so welcome and put me down as a friend as well, I always like to hear ways of losing weight.........Lloyd

I am a gay! Although not a man one I hear what you are saying about the scene being fickle though! I dont know why there is so much hate within our own community?! URGH! It sucks!

Anyway, good luck to you Sir! I'm sure the poundage will fall off! x

I (humbly) stand corrected, and sufficiently chastised : (

I am sorry, truly, that I misconstrued your intentions. I don't care one way or another, your sexual orientation. I do know that you are here for a reason....the same one, ultimately, as me. I am not one of those 'haters', and I certainly AM sincere in wishing you the best on this site. You WILL find the support you need and the tools for success.

To all of those out there that were offended, I am very, very sorry.

I will refrain from commenting any further. I have received nothing BUT support and friendship, and I wish you all that, as well. Good luck on your journey.
