That's great I'm totally into meeting new people I'm super excited about this site because I'm at a place in my life where I have to lose weight and I need people in my corner who have to do the same thing I guess someone that can relate to me.. I have about 100 or more pounds to lose which sucks but I will get there in due time0

Anyone feel free to add me0 -
ok so where are the other men hiding? I seem to be in the minority here!
heres one of the other men, not new though, started August 2011. I lost 7 kilograms before I found MFP, then lost another 5 then stayed about that level up until a week or so ago. Lost another 3 since then as my determination has found me again.
I log everyday, but I dont alwways "complete my entry" as others then comment that I am eating too little and go on about the "starvation mode" in bodys. I dont know if its true, probably is, makes sense, but when your BMI is off the richter scale is in the obese section, I figure my body can use up some spare for now. But I know as I lose more that will have to change.
And as I feel ok, I guess my body will tell me if something is wrong if I am eating too little. I eat fresh veges and protein everyday and drink buckets of water,...anyway, point is....yes there is another guy here, all the way from Australia though...mates0 -
There are many great people here that motivate and inspire....good luck on your journey..0

I just started using MFP this Wednesday and have definitely not skimmed the service of the functions of this yet.
I do think we live close, so I can really be on your case if you're not logging your meals :P0 -
Thank you0

Good to see other men about! I too am from Australia so not too far away, just down the road in Brisbane.
I'm not by any means knowledgeable in the area of health and fitness though I have heard of starvation mode. I think the main thing would be listen to your body, if you aren't hungry, you are losing weight and feeling fine then keep going. At least that is how I'd think to go.
I've done a few diets over the years, most successful was doing the Tony Ferguson meal replacement shakes for almost a year. Lost something like 40kg but I've since put most of that back on. I was keeping it mostly off for a while but then I injured my knee (torn meniscus) and had subsequent issues with blood clots that required me to be on warfarin for a year which just knocked me about and I slacked off. Tried weight watchers with minor success but in reality I wasn't motivated.
This year a gym opened at my place of work so I joined mainly thinking of doing cardio (treadmill) to get moving again and well here I am starting to track my intake etc and feeling motivated to change (for a change)!0 -
I've been here a month you or anyone else is welcome to add me. I'm always on the lookout for positive people too. I'm pretty dedicated to my workout regimen and tracking my food, so I will always be here.0
