I lost weight as a consequence of working out (although I wasn't trying to really). My goal here is to track workouts and find like minded people. I joined this site because I thought it was more fitness oriented? Turns out it's mostly weight loss oriented. Am I in the wrong place?

    no this is a calorie counting site actually.

    You can find folks who are losing, maintaining, gaining/bulking.

    There are lots of discussions about fitness and working out.

    I use the site primarily to track my nutrition in order to run injury free. For my fitness, I use runkeeper. It links up to this app as well so the information is shared between the two.

    I'm here to maintain my awesomeness, also to track nutrition (fiber, protein, etc.) and to track my exercise.

    I'm mostly here to troll the forums, check out the bikini pics, laugh at derp, and pick up and share the occasional helpful tidbit of information . . .

    A good site to track workouts is fitocracy. This is where you go to track your food and learn how to look like the hulk with 2 lb weights in 7 minutes.

    It is very heavily weight loss oriented but there are enough general fitness people to make it worth while.

    I am not really here to lose weight. I find many discussions of exercise, fitness, etc. Perhaps you should try the groups. There are plenty of group forums about running, strength training, yoga, etc. I even belong to a tennis group here.

    You just need to find the right buddies. There are plenty of athletes and fitness minded people around here you just have to look a bit.

    Im finding them. I thought "myfitnesspal" would be more about fitness than calories! My bad hahaha

    it's mostly a calorie tracking and weight loss site, but you can find private groups related to lots of fitness activities... strength training, crossfit, yoga, etc.

    so there are people on here actively talking about those topics as well, but they're not quite so visible on the forums since so many people are focusing on the basics of weight loss.
