Where are the men?!

edited September 25 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:

    What up, new buddy? Like what you see here? I smell some sort of male escort auction option happening soon...or at least being suggested. Oh, wait...

    Both of these.

    I would be willing to bet there are many men who only use the site for its calorie counting capabilities (how do you feel about alliteration?), but feel that the community portion is more "support group-ish" than they care for.

    To which I can commiserate, at times.
