in Introduce Yourself
And I'm not asking that the way you think! I'm a man, but looking around there aren't many on the forum and I can't help feeling outnumbered.

To quickly do the intro: I'm James and have been "big-boned" to various degrees my entire life. It's mainly bad diet, I enjoy running but then undo all the good work with junk food and beer.

I started using the iPhone app because I wanted to experienent with a food diary and have been amazed at the difference it made, I'm far more aware and conscious of what I'm eating - and even though I'm still eating junk food, it's in moderation. Hence a little dipping my toes in the water of the forum.

However, I'm hitting the stage where I know the motivation is wearing off, and a little peer pressure would help no end, so feel free (in fact PLEASE) send a friend request my way.

    Welcome! There are plenty of us guys on here - but we are most certainly outnumbered... :laugh:

    I highly recommend you check out this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/9433-expectations
    It helps to realize that it's perfectly normal for motivation to wane - you just have to push through it and keep on going.

    You're one of the few. Get your male buddies to join. I'm not a guy, but I wonder where the men are too. Men fight the pudge too but have their own issues, and they can't all just get into the girlie-talk. I'm thinking of getting my boyfriend on here since he's partly involved in my bad weekend food choices. I am a bit jealous of men since they tend to burn fat a little faster than we do. Welcome and good luck! I'm new here too. - Amy

    Holy Moly. I didn't expect so many responses, and certainly not so quickly. And loads of friends requests too! Thank-you everyone.

    And some really inspirational weight loss figures too - along with a good link.

    Thanks to you all, I'm certainly feeling the peer pressure.

    But the ratio of women:men certainly sounds appealing in its own way. :bigsmile:
