    Hello everyone...feel free to add me as well, if it strikes your fancy.

    Sacramento, CA

    1. I have BA in History and minor in Politcal Science

    2. I have a HUGE crush many Republican politicians, namely Rick Santorum, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and John Boehner (he reminds me of golden hollywood leading men such as Cary Grant and Bill Holden)!

    3. I'm actually pretty good at Dance Dance Revolution

    4. I love playing slots, poker and blackjack. I'm ethnically Lao so gambling is in my blood I guess. Though people think I'm Filipino, Korean, Hawaiian, Japanese and most often hispanic (wtf?)

    5. I particularly love English, German, and Russian guys. I've had a German and Russian BF...still waiting for an English lad xD. Though its hard to beat a good old fashioned American boy :)

    Hi all I'm Andy 26 from mi.
  • Hi. have been on FP for 80 days...find it really helpful and eye-opening. I have posted in the forums a few times but only have 1 pal. Would love to have a couple of more so there is kind-of a conversation going in the updates.

    Me...47, bearish, partnered since 2003. Started my weight loss first of July (found FP later). Have lost 60 lbs of 110 goal. Have been AWFUL over the holidays...have to refocus my efforts.

    Anyway...anyone interested in a couple of words of encouragement through the week hit me up.

    If it's any help, I've been awful over the holidays too - but I knew it was likely, so I accepted it before I started. It gave me a definite end date, a day when I knew I'd start back on tracking and start losing weight.

    In the end, I didn't put on as much as I thought I would, and I'm shedding it quicker than I thought I would, so it's actually boosting my mood. A couple of days ago I was bloated and didn't think I would ever be able to face another roast. Now I'm feeling healthier and looking forward to reaching my goal weight.

    just joined. 7+ years of partnered life plus a couple of bumps in the road have resulted in a 42 pound weight gain and becoming a full on bear. I want to keep my partner, but I'm ready to shed the excess weight. Though after learning to enjoy being a bear, I'm afraid it's going to be weird to lose weight. looking for weight loss buds.

    Hi, Dave from UK, here.

    In my mind I was a bear, it took my husband a lot of courage to point out that I had crossed the boundary from bear to chub bordering on the really chubby.

    Anyway we're doing this journey together, and all I can say is I love the extra benefits! Even the hairy chest looks hairier now the follicles have less acreage to cover LOL

    All friends, support etc are very welcome.

    So my name is martin, I live in Chicago with my partner and two dogs. Previously, I have lived in DC/Baltimore, St Louis MO and originally from the 'burbs of Kansas CIty. I am an attorney and work for a tv station group as the head of HR. I love my job but we have so much food and candy around the office. Of of my coworkers actually got me turned on to MFP.

    I lost of a ton of weight when I came out of the closet but since I went to law school and partnered up, it all came creeping back. Even my dad has been joking that now that I am an old married man, gay or straight, I have the middle aged spread. Coming from a strict catholic who grew up in india, I will take that as a compliment that he can't separate gay marriage from straight.

    Unfortunately, I am only 33 so it is too early for that middle aged spread to hit full swing! So it is time to change that.

    Tell us 5 things about yourself?
    a: I am gay and have known since I started finding people attractive. Finding it hard to tell most people. Most of my friends know, and I also told my family but they either forgot, or they are trying to just forget it. Hard being gay living in Utah with a LDS family that is for sure.
    b: I love being with my friends and playing video games and hopefully going to school this fall.
    c: I love dogs, they have always brought me joy :)
    d: I am not a very outdoors kinda guy but hopefully dieting and working out will change the way I think about that.
    e: Lastly, well lets see, I love traveling, I can crochet :) And I just love doing things that make me happy, always seem to find something new I enjoy.
    Feel free to add me as well!! :) Have a great day everyone
