As fun as it is having a bunch of cheerleaders supporting you, are there any guys out there???

I'm from Cambridge and started using this thing about a month or so ago. Looking to drop around 20kgs in total, and am about 12kg off my target at the moment. Not really that bothered about weight though, just want to get a better physique and improve my rowing.

Add me if you're in the same boat and need the occasional kick up the *kitten* to keep you on track.

I don't want to discriminate though, so anyone else reading this feel free to add me too. Sharing is caring and all that. :-)


ps- this seemed a much less weird way of finding other guys on here.

    I'm not a female. I joined about a month ago and have made some good friends. Been to the message boards a few times (those can be treacherous waters at times) to comment and post. I'm looking to shed about 60 more pounds (lost 17 so far). You can call on me for support if you want. Good luck in achieving your goals!

    I was kind of wondering the same thing! Sorta seemed like I'd walked into a Curves Fitness or something, ha. The icon for the app seems a bit effeminate, too. But hey, the tools seem to work way better than others I have used so I think I'll stick around.

    Best wishes for success!

    NOT FEMALE HERE. I have a good bit I want to lose. I have lost ten pounds so far by excersing and eating better. Easing my way back into running. I am not obese but over weight no doubt just trying to live healthy. To many people have health problems that could have been avoided by better choices. I am trying to not be one of those people.

    I am definitely not female! I'll be your friend if you like...

    At age 35 and just over 300 lbs, I made it my 2011 New Year's resolution to join the local rugby club. I have never played any organized sports in my life, unless you count the time I joined track to use the weight room my junior year of high school. I've played 23 matches this past year, not including playing in a seven's tournament.

    I've been on MFP for almost two months and am down about 15-20 lbs so far. I want to lose weight so I can have more endurance and run faster. Also, I want to look great in my underwear again!

    I'm not female! this does seem to be a little female orientated so good to see there are blokes representing! only been on here for a week but i used it for a month back in the summer. I'm about 125Kg at 6"3. Got a large frame so i know i'm never going to be thin. just want to get rid of the love handles and moobs so when me and my fience finally get married my wedding photo's look good! 100Kg and i'll be happy with myself.

    Good luck, to you all

    Welcome and yes, there is much male support here.

    I hear you too; it gets shrill in the estrogen echo chamber at times when I need an objective kick in the pants.
    Not all ladies are like that, and you'll meet some great folks here.

    Again, welcome - friend request sent!

    Sorry, I don't have a penis. But don't worry, I don't want to be your friend. I've got enough friends to be not supportive of :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Man here, and there is the Man Cave group. Just go to groups and search for it. The more men, the better discussions hopefully.

    YAY RUGBY! I played rugby all through college! I lost like 15lbs when I first joined...best workout of my life (although I think my neck and back are pretty angry with me now)! I was a dancer and cheerleader before I joined, so it was a HUGE adjustment for me! Haha. I can't ever pass up saying hi to a fellow rugger! I was a loosehead prop....how about you??
