    Hi everyone.

    Kurt here, 33yo from Melbourne, Australia.

    I've been on MFP for a while, but fell off the wagon a bit in the second half of last year... Starting to get myself back on track, and could certainly use any extra help/support/motivation.

    Hey Everybody!

    My name's Scott and I've been on MFP for about half a year; I've gone back & forth on using it (mostly because I find logging my food to be excruciatingly tedious!) but I have yet to use it with support from other members. I recently began friending random guys who I could identify as gay since I'm keen to connect with folks with whom I have stuff in common.

    I'm glad to've found this thread and will definitely be reading thru it tonight and friending some folks -- unless y'all friend me first! :D

    1. Where were you born?
    "Little" Washington, NC

    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    Pottstown, PA

    3. Where else have you lived?
    Chapel Hill, NC
    New Bern, NC
    Greensboro, NC
    Philadelphia, PA
    Kenosha, WI

    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
    Current: Software tester in healthcare software
    Dream: Chef or club DJ :)

    5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself:
    - I'm not a "bear" and I reject the label for myself, preferring to think of myself as a "person" who doesn't like to be limited by descriptions that're loaded/skewed in the minds of others. I'm so much more than a bear, a geek, gay, etc.
    - I've been with my partner, Paul, for 12yrs this APR. We've had our dog, Molly, for 9yrs this MAR.
    - My favorite hobby (I have a couple) is craft beer. I love IPAs, sours, bourbon barrel-aged stouts and saisons -- and it's a tough hobby to have if you're trying to lose weight!! :P
    - I *love* music yet have not listened to the radio in over 30yrs (see http://www.last.fm/user/fuzzydicephl)!
    - I turned 47yo this month and I love getting older and wiser!

    Look for me as FuzzyDicePHL on Flickr, Instagram, last.fm, and Nike+ (I need Fuelband friends!), too.

    a: I came out at age 20, and that prompted me to lose about 90 pounds. Now I'm just trying to get into better shape and maintain my weight.
    b: My best friend and I learned to SCUBA dive at 16. It's been a favourite hobby ever since.
    c: I'm hoping to go on a huge trip this summer to either Asia or Europe. It's my last chance to be free before clerkship.
    d: My favourite food is peanut butter; it is SO delectable. If only there weren't 100 calories per tbsp of the stuff :(
    e: I'm a total nerd. Athleticism doesn't come naturally to me. I find it really helpful to hear from other people who have similar backgrounds as they work towards improving their health/appearance (young gay guys especially) .
