Am I the only guy on this thing?

Hmm... am I the only male on this site trying to lose weight? Is this site for men too?

Yeah I've seen some guys on here! I just think women need more support then men do to lose weight.

finncmh

Lots of guys on here... I think we are just more chatty about our needs so you see the females pop up more in forums etc

Try doing a search under 'Find Members'. You can specify criteria, such as male.

Click on Search and type in Man to Man- A support group for men and you can join that forum if you want too

I am a guy too, but I agree that Men may need less support to loose the weight at least initially men tend to loose faster and that acts more like a built in reinforcement. I think I read somewhere that this is due to genetics and child gestation optimizations in the female system.

There are several other guys who are my MFP friends actually. Some of the guys are just more quiet, but there are a few that are a little more enthusiastic.
Here are a couple of links - hope this works but if not I'll include their user name too:

Former Navy Veteran here I have seen a decent amount of people on here and the women do indeed outweigh the men

No pun intended, right? :laugh:

There are lots of men in mfp, but we're outnumbered. I follow this thread, its men only: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/114354-man-to-man-a-support-system-for-men-part-2

I'm a guy & I'm here. I've lost 25+ pounds so far & have 10 more to go. Im just not that chatty. I never thought about why, but I think everyone else is right. I don't need as much support because I lose weight quickly & steadily so that's its own support. But we are here.
