Hey Everybody!
My name's Scott and I've been on MFP for about half a year; I've gone back & forth on using it (mostly because I find logging my food to be excruciatingly tedious!) but I have yet to use it with support from other members. I recently began friending random guys who I could identify as gay since I'm keen to connect with folks with whom I have stuff in common.
I'm glad to've found this thread and will definitely be reading thru it tonight and friending some folks -- unless y'all friend me first!

5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself:
- I'm not a "bear" and I reject the label for myself, preferring to think of myself as a "person" who doesn't like to be limited by descriptions that're loaded/skewed in the minds of others. I'm so much more than a bear, a geek, gay, etc.
- I've been with my partner, Paul, for 12yrs this APR. We've had our dog, Molly, for 9yrs this MAR.
- My favorite hobby (I have a couple) is craft beer. I love IPAs, sours, bourbon barrel-aged stouts and saisons -- and it's a tough hobby to have if you're trying to lose weight!! :P
- I *love* music yet have not listened to the radio in over 30yrs (see http://www.last.fm/user/fuzzydicephl)!
- I turned 47yo this month and I love getting older and wiser!
Look for me as FuzzyDicePHL on Flickr, Instagram, last.fm, and Nike+ (I need Fuelband friends!), too.0 -

Hi, I'm Kurt.
I joined MFP towards the start of last year, lost 10kgs in 6 months, then fell off the wagon. I managed to avoid putting all of the weight back on... but completely lost my motivation etc. I'm starting to get back on track now with tracking my food and getting back to the gym, but could always use that extra push from like-minded friends.
Feel free to add me as a friend and/or drop me a line.
