Hi, I've drifted over here from WW, since they are discontinuing their message boards - which I've found to be a very helpful forum. A collection of us created a group here called GOAD (guys on a diet) to replace what we're losing. It's a open community for Guys (both male and female) who are focused on weight management and who desire open, direct communication about weight and fitness related topics. Positive and encouraging stories welcome, but truth telling, myth busting and some degree of receptivity to the truth about weight loss/maintenance are core components. It's very straight-forward dialogue, but very helpful to me.

Maybe I'll see some of you in our group.

    You just need to go to the group and join. No "adding" is necessary since it's an open group.

    Feel free to join us - it's a great group with low tolerance for BS. Think of it as the Jack Webb of message boards.

    Hi Charlie. Still trying to figure out how to navigate this.

    Well, Bob, it's easier on a tablet or desktop than a phone, I've found.

    To get to Goad, choose Community from the menu ribbon, and then select Group from the sub-ribbon. There's a "search" box partway down on the right where you can enter "GOAD". It will pop up in your list to select. You can bookmark it at that point.

    Hint - you can also search for "Beyond Beer and Butgers".

    Glad to find this site, since WW has shut down the GOAD board. Glad to see many of the usual suspects...

    HI Charlie
    Jerdtrmndone from GOAD WW Board ( Jerry )
    Did not know WW was shutting the boards down. Most the time just reading the chats. Hope the boards here get more reviews because this is really a great inspiration Board

    Hope those interested have found the GoaD group. Post here if not, and I'll try to help you navigate.

    Charlie,
    I seem to have lost the easy way. I used to go to Community and GoaD was listed at bottom. Did that change?

    @jamesburke48 If you're a member of the group that quick link should still be there. Alternatively try community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/115013-goad and click join somewhere near top right.

    Found this site. I am female and have no patience for recounting my days, weeks, family issues on the boads. Just a no-nonsense girl. "Give me the facts Ma'am, just the facts."
    NO THE AVATAR IS NOT ME! This is my MFP motivation picture. I may have to change it since it appears on the boards!
