I am new on the site, and was really hoping this would be an active group. We as men gain and lose weight differently than women do. We don't deal with the monthly water weight gain, and gain weight for different reasons. The closest we have is the sympathy weight gains when I wives are pregnant, and that is from having to runout and get the ice cream, we might as well have some.

I posted a topic a few days ago and it hasn't received any feedback. Not even a, "Sucks to be you!" Maybe that is because it is pretty personal, but I thought that this would be an appropriate place. Maybe I'm off base.

Not sure where or when you posted, I didn't see it, or I would have responded.

Hey Clownfear,

Don't see your post here either. Maybe you posted on a different board. Anyway, why not post again?

P.S. Congrats on your transformation. Amazing work.

I always look at this group to see what is being discussed if anything. I am always posting on MFP. My diary is always open but I take a very different approach to getting in shape so I don't discuss much. I have been working with a wellness coach since the end of April. When I started this journey I weighed in at 363! I am now at 314. My coach has taken me off all lowfat or no fat products, I used to drink a lot of diet/no calorie soda, and all that is gone now. I am limited to 28 grams of sugar a day( I used to love sweets) that is gone too. But I love my baked potatoes with sour cream and butter! No margarine, no artificial sweeteners. All wholesome foods only. I am also Gluten Free, not because I have a disease, just because my coach thought it would help with my asthma and it has. I could go on and on about my new lifestyle and I am willing to share with anybody. So, Again I try not to post to much because I find a lot of people eat lowfat and no fat and that's not me. But I am always open to new things and I am always willing to help. Good Luck on your new lives. Friend me if you want

Great story and good job Kevidona! Congrats on the weight loss! There's nothing like seeing results!

Hey fellas. I just joined the group. I hope it's not dead. I joined because I am getting tired of hearing the ladies complain about how they crave chocolate on their periods. :huh:

Good to be here!!

The only thing i have in common with women as far as weight gain is that I gain it all in my stomach. At my highest, 190, I looked 7 months pregnant. Proof is in my pics. I know, some people wish to be 190, but I am a small guy, and it is not a good look on me. Wouldn't mind it if I had about 8% body fat. I just don't feel the need to be that big. If I could have any build, Dennis Quiad, about 15 years ago, he was not big, but had a nice build, and definition without being large.
