Yeah I've seen some guys on here! I just think women need more support then men do to lose weight.0

Lots of guys on here... I think we are just more chatty about our needs so you see the females pop up more in forums etc0
-
Try doing a search under 'Find Members'. You can specify criteria, such as male.0

Click on Search and type in Man to Man- A support group for men and you can join that forum if you want too0 -
I am a guy too, but I agree that Men may need less support to loose the weight at least initially men tend to loose faster and that acts more like a built in reinforcement. I think I read somewhere that this is due to genetics and child gestation optimizations in the female system.0

There are several other guys who are my MFP friends actually. Some of the guys are just more quiet, but there are a few that are a little more enthusiastic.
Here are a couple of links - hope this works but if not I'll include their user name too:

No pun intended, right? :laugh:0 -
There are lots of men in mfp, but we're outnumbered. I follow this thread, its men only: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/114354-man-to-man-a-support-system-for-men-part-20

I'm a guy & I'm here. I've lost 25+ pounds so far & have 10 more to go. Im just not that chatty. I never thought about why, but I think everyone else is right. I don't need as much support because I lose weight quickly & steadily so that's its own support. But we are here.0

Look for my man Binary_Jester. He'll keep you laughing0

Thanks for the reply. I see your from DC.. I live in Chantilly. So you seem like a normal person!!! And you seem to be doing really good at losing weight!! This is helping me gain confidence in this site. I'm stoked this is going to finally keep me honest.
