    I'm a gay female. Married for almost 15 years and even though my wife could care less that I'm fat, I care. I started approx 40 days ago and have lost almost 8 lbs. Where are you in your journey?

    Wow 15 years! That's amazing! Hope to find my true love soon! My names joey I just currently started this journey! I created this account yesterday on my 25th birthday and started day one today! It was a great first day and I have a long way to go... Congrats on loosing 8 pounds! Still trying to figure out how you do the weigh ins? When you weigh yourself in the morning u set whatever weight you are at that day? Hope to hear back from you and thanks for taking the time to respond :)

    Don't stress too much about weighing yourself. If you weigh yourself every day you will drive yourself crazy. Weight fluctuates a bit daily due to diet, hormones, exercise, etc. When you do weigh yourself, do it in the morning, after going to the bathroom and before you eat, so you are consistent.
    Since you are starting out, read the first post of this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here
    I have a gay son who is 23 and married. I couldn't be prouder of him.
    Congrats on starting your journey here on MFP!

    The way that I do the weigh in is either once or twice a week, in the morning after using the restroom, before I eat or drink anything and completely naked. It's strange but your pj's can really add a lot of weight, a pound or two. You also want your system to be as empty as possible because then you know it's actually your body you are weighing and not clothes or any waste that is in your body. Then chart what your weight is that day.
    This morning I woke up early and weighed myself, I didn't like the number but I went back to bed and then when I got up a couple hours later I went to the bathroom again and re-weighed myself. I liked that number much better, for a total of 9 lbs lost! Yeah, seems like a dirty trick but it works.

    Just turned 40, not gay person here. Hi! I'm an Aussie living in Switzerland. I lost 110lbs a couple of years ago but thought I had it beat and went back to my old ways. So, here I am again, with 130 shiny, new pounds to lose :)

    So back to calorie counting and the treadmill for me. As for weighing in, I just picked a day and time of the week I was going to do it and religiously do it at the same time each week. That way it doesn't matter is you have clothes on, if you've eaten in the day etc. After the first week your conditions should be approximately the same. I pick Monday morning because that helps give me focus over the weekend and makes sure I don't eat the wrong things.

    Goodluck with it!

    @BuglesBoy how much are you trying to lose? 'Fraid to say it but you don't seem to be carrying any weight in your face.
