In the wrong place???

Just a guy trying to drop some weight and get back in shape. This website looked like a good place to track calories and exercise, but so far I haven't seen any guys on any of the boards. Am I in the wrong place? So far (started seriously dieting on Monday this week) I've been pleased with the ease of adding foods and exercises to my daily tracking. It's really helped me to stay on track. I've also learned a few things from some of the messages I've read. I've never heard of this whole idea of having to eat up to a certain number of calories per day or your body would start to "hoard" the food and you'd stop loosing weight. I always thought if I cut back enough I'll keep loosing weight.

Anyway, thanks for the info and I'll just keep my head down and keep tracking my progress. I need to drop about 20 lbs by summer time.

    There are many men using and posting to this site (but I'm not one of them :happy: ). Check out the profiles of the members. It is sometimes the only way to tell what gender we all are, Good Luck.
  • I'm not a man, but there are lots of them on here. Give it a little time and you'll find them

    You are not in the wrong place. The women just outnumber the men I think. But the site was created by Mike. We are glad to have you here

    Good luck:drinker:

  • I think most of us guys just tend to be a little more quiet on the boards, but we are around!

    Not I said me. LOL, I think I post more then all of the ladies combined. I have just had a really busy work week. Add that to the work I have been doing on the chat room and it leaves less time to offer up snide remarks on the boards. notice to the left below my picture, see how many posts I have?
