Another guy reporting in to grow the minority. Been here for almost a month.

I've been here long enough to not know how long I've been on any more (somewhere between 3 and 4 years), I think when I started there were 2 or 3 hundred people total on here. I was one of maybe 5 guys. But that says as much about guys attitudes on weight loss as anything else. You have to be a strong man to accept that you're fat and put yourself out there. I've since lost the weight, added a bit of muscle and a lot of knowledge, and so now I mainly just help others and maintain. Welcome men!

Another guy here also!

I was married for a long time, so I am only recently growing my pair back.

Welcome.

Funny, that reminds me of the day my wife scheduled my vasectomy. All she said to me was "put on a pair of clean underwear, we are going for a ride in the car." :frown:

I don't know how to tell you this mate but your face is missing. Lose all the weight you like but I imagine a missing face is a deal breaker for most ladies....

I think we're going to have to start a men only thread. Talk about man things like... er........ :drinker:

Good idea Craig, the thread may help us women understand how you all really feel.

Another guy here. I started at 250 and am 171 now. I've been on since March 2009 and am within a couple of pounds of my goal weight. My BMI has me now in the healthy range and I have dropped my goal to just losing a 1/2 pound of weight a week. I'm starting to adjust to eating more calories now. I've been averaging around 1650-1700 calories a day since then with an average of 650 calories a day in exercise. I mainly focused on cardio but am now adding weight training for toning purposes. My main exercise was brisk walking. At the beginning, I could walk 2.5 miles at about 3.0 mph. Now, I can walk 10.5 miles at about 4.4 mph.

This has been really a big challenge and I'm really proud of what I have accomplished. Still, I'm putting out this info so you can see it can be done. I'll stay on this site for the foreseeable future because it is as they say a lifestyle change.

It is hard, but you can see it can be done. You just have to think about more. One last example. I work in an office setting. I climb 60 flights of stairs throughout the day just to add to the calorie burn. This also allows me to eat more.

And you are doing good with your weight loss - men seem to have it easier anyway.

Hehe if only that were true....

I encourage it, if I see one more TOTM (time of the month) cranky rant about binging on chocolate and retaining water I may snap! Sure its biological, a fact of life but do we have to share? People at work have a tendency to tell me when it's their time too, what am I, a walking ovulation calendar for everyone? LOL!!!

tgh1914

You wanna know how to find all the guys on here... just post a topic that says "for Ladies only" & something about boobs. Then watch as the hit count starts going crazy. :laugh: You'll see plenty of guy posts.

Careful though, we don't want to bring down the server.

And you are doing good with your weight loss - men seem to have it easier anyway.

It is not any easier for us. We have to run about the same negative calories as a woman the same height. We just tend to be taller and heavier people burn more calories. None of us have a goal weight of 105.

Men are usually much better at goal focus too. You ladies overthing every-freaking-thing and are much more prone to let emotions (and suprisingly soreness) have an effect on your eating and exercise decisions! I always thought women were supposed to deal with pain better than men, but I have seen tons of posts here where soreness is used as an excuse not to exercise. The line between pain and injury is pretty big IMO.
