I started using the iPhone app about 6 months ago now, but I still haven't lost any weight, my own fault I must admit! So I've decided to climb back on the wagon and thought I'd stroll in here to have a look around. I seem to be in the minority
I'm currently 218lb my goal is probably around about the 190lb mark.
Feel free to add me as a friend I probably need the odd kick every now and then. )

Yep I'm here also. Your story is about the same as mine. Had the app on my phone. Got off it then came back on. This time I'm getting my butt going. So far I've been on here for 20 days and lost about 10 pounds. The thing is to make sure you stay on here and put down everything you eat. It can be a pain but you have to be honest with yourself if you want to loose the weight.0

Welcome to the boards, there are quite a few guys dotted around here so you definately are not alone.
You have a similar goal that I had, I started at 243lbs and lost 61lbs in the space of 4 months to get to my current weight of 182lbs. I'm starting the new challenge of maintaining my weight. Good luck and remember through the good times and the difficult that it is possible to reach your goal.0 -
Good advice!0

Thanks all )
If I actually make sure I keep track everyday then it shouldn't be too difficult, especially with exercise as well.0 -
Welcome. Yes there are plently of guys on the site. Best of Luck.0

I started using the site about 17 days ago! I think the app is great, before I was forgetting what I was eating but this is now a quick and easy way of keeping track. When I started I was 165lbs - I want to be around 140lbs.... currently I am 155lbs, so I am doing well. I do feel however that my calorie intake is shocking. I only have around 600-800 a day. Feel free to add me as a friend

I've just started tracking again after an unsuccessful attempt last year and this is an inspirational post! I started tracking 2 weeks ago at 244lbs and going to weigh in today so hopefully the scale counter will be going in the right direction!.
Sorry to hi jack the post, back on topic- just wanted to say that a lot more men are probably like me and prefer to read rather than post (hence this is my first post)!0 -
I started January 3rd at 220lbs. Aiming for about 175 to start. Then I'll see where I need to go from there.0

...and an Evertonian too, perfect0 -
No worries, you are not alone. Albeit we are definately in the minority.
Then again, since when is surrounded by women a bad thing? So long as they are not mad at you of course!
Welcome an stick with it!0 -
I'm a guy. At least after the surgery.
Seriously, there are several of us on here! Welcome to the man cave!0 -
And in Dallas too!0

hows your training going nathan? Im similar size to you finding it really tricky to shift weight at my current weight of 155lbs, i wouldnt say im over weight but ideally id like to be around 138lb as an ideal goal, ive been running 10Km 4 times a week and not seen any weight shift yet, think i need to start measuring my waist. what training are you doing? your calorie intake seems really low how you getting on with this?0 -
Hey, so is there an official "Man Cave Thread" on here. Could I have a link?0
-
same story here...started at 232 about a month and a half ago, now at 200 or so... changed the way i eat and make it a point to do exercise regularly...add me as a friend and check out my food diary and all that stuff. maybe it will help you out. i'm looking for people to keep me accountable as i shed the last 15 lbs before vaca in april. good luck!0

There are a few guys around, we just happened to be very outnumbered lol0
-
Looks like lots of us. I'm new and I'm afraid to lose the momentum because I know it would be hard to restart. Congratulations on doing that.0
-
Welcome, Paul. No... I'm not a man, but my husband and I just started using the app last month too. I'm loving it! So, he's around here somewhere.0
-
Another guy here. From Michigan (but dont hold that against me!). I'm more/less maintaining rather than looking to lose. But feel free to Friend me if you wish. Good luck in your journey!0

Just check out all of the womens profiles..that's where the men are: on those friends lists :]0
-
Yeah, we're definitely in the minority around here. I am not complaining though...some of my female MFP friends work so hard and are so inspirational that they drive me harder to succeed than any of my real life friends - male or female. Welcome to the site!0

Don't tell me mates but I'm on here too. :laugh:0

I was where you are last year and dropped to just under 200 but couldn't keep going. Then I found this site and I'm tracking every day, I think that is the key. Anyway, feel free to add me. And there is a good "30 something Men Thread" on here that is pretty good. Good luck with your goals.0 -
This thread is sexist!!!
Lol jk!0 -
Another guy here... Dallas area. Welcome!
--Carter0 -
This thread is sexist!!!
Lol jk!
Yeah, tell that to the people who post all the threads that scream WOMEN ONLY or the people who only accept friend requests from people with a uterus.0 -
We are here but for sure the minority. I will add you as a friend. Keep it going.0
