Looking for some guys that can hold me accountable! Help motivate me, I will do the same for you. I find it easier to have guys with common goals, and similar issues to help motivate one another. Lets do this.

    Looking at your profile photo I'd say maybe you can help us! :-)

    Well I was on here a little over a year ago and started out doing good. I think I lost around 15 pounds, but I stopped and so did the weight loss.Well, I'm back now and I hope to keep it going. I was doing a search and believe it or not it wound up providing results to a forum in MFP. Since I was a member I decided to try and log in again and it worked. I still have to set everything back up for goals and all that, but I'm ready.

    So... what was I searching? I was searching for gastric bypass information good and bad. It is now the time I had promised myself that if I couldn't do it on my own that I was going to go under the knife. Well, as it turns out, I am still wishy-washy on that decision and probably for good reason. I know GB is not the easy way out and I know it's not pleasant, it has advantages and disadvantages and complications. I've been reading A LOT! I have scheduled to attend a seminar about it on November 17th and I will still go. I have a few issues going on right now like knee and hip pain, a lot of pain. My knee doctor told me that if he determines that I need a new hip for some reason, he won't do it because I weigh too much. I had an MRI done last week and I see him on the 19th. There's a lot of emotion going on and I guess I just can't see making my decision with these emotions guiding me. I need to be responsible about it. So that's another reason I am making another commitment to try MFP out again.

    If I can help you in any way I will try. I appreciate you asking for and wanting to provide support. I think that's the only way we all get through this.

    Thanks guys, I just need some testosterone on my feed. I love all my friends but its different to have a guy telling to stop acting like a ***** and get to the gym, you know what I mean.

    Agreed. Props from female MFP buddies are one thing. But it's nice to get positive reinforcement and no BS kicks in the pants from the guys
