Welcome to GoaD, @the_new_mark_2016 !0

Finally a board for men, by men. Little bit about myself. I'm not going to write a book here, but I made it through a lot in the past 5 years. I'm in a good place, so it's time to focus on me. Let myself get up to the 300 mark, and enough is enough. I'm committed and motivated to get back to a healthy, active weight. Support is always good and welcomed.1

I've had off and on success with weight loss, losing some, gaining some. I had to have a double bypass back in July and never want to go through that ordeal again so I'm back to lose it all this time.1

@tazboy @Richie2shoes Welcome to both of you! Feel free to check out the posts on the board and get in where you fit in.0

Welcome newbies! One quick disclaimer - there are women Goadies. Their take on weight management is just as helpful and they promise not to talk sport bras or other such things. Shhhhh, don't let the cat out of the bag.

Welcome guys. Please, don't be bashful. Jump in to one of the threads or feel free to start one on your own. Good luck to you both (but it's not really about luck; it's about how you work your program).0

Welcome to GoaD gentlemen0

Welcome taz and richie. Glad to see you found us here.0

@tazboy
Welcome! The title may be misleading. GoaDs includes Guys/Gals on a Diet, BUT this isn't like many female dominated WW groups, e.g. we don't discuss sports bras LoL. That used to be stated in our welcoming message when GoaD was on WW Community BBs. The women here have taught me a lot, GoaD is a good group to get facts, tough love, no BS a KITA and/or support as needed.
@Richie2shoes
My younger bro had same procedure as you last May. Nothing like a serious medical issue to get ones attention on improving your lifestyle. Welcome aboard!1 -
HAHA, thanks for the welcome everybody! Willpower is my problem. I can stick to any type of "eating plan" for about 3 or 4 days then I jump on another bandwagon. Look forward to getting some tips.1

I see your first post here was 8 days ago, and you're still here!
How's it going?

I just joined the group!
Never been on weight watchers, but have been on a steady yo-yo of various diets for the last 10 years.
Hoping to find the willpower to stick it out this time, and lose 30-40 pounds.
I've joined a great gym, and have a great eating plan.
Now it's just the willpower to stick with it, and the fortitude to bounce back from a setback (which will inevitably come).1 -
Hey, the name is Martijn am from the Netherlands and working on a a boat. Have a "seated" job so i need the exercise and watching in food intake.
i weighed 126kg..and then i needed to change course. started to workout and watch what i'm eating...two years later i'm stuck around 100kg. cant seem to go lower. but i enjoy working out.1 -
Welcome guys! I look forward to seeing you post on here and follow your progress. Join in.
Instead of willpower, try substituting commitment. Just a thought.
A big hello going out to the Netherlands from Texas.1 -

Welcome Martijn and jmcdao!

Love it Philtex! I will call it "commitment" instead of willpower.
Willpower can fade day-to-day, but commitment can persist through the tough times.1 -
Welcome guys. A favorite phrase around here is "lose weight in the kitchen" Probably the best exercise you can do is the push away. Push away from the table, push away from the fridge and push away from the late night snacking.0

Hi! Hope y'all don't mind a ladyperson joining you - ex-WWer here. I lost 80 pounds with the original plan circa 8 years ago, but disliked the subsequent plans and gave in to pizza/champagne/extreme weight creep. Loving MFP, and can't wait to meet y'all!2
-
Welcome. We have plenty gal "guys" here. Most of us are WW'ers or ex-WW'ers. I'm still on plan (more or less) trying to re-gain lifetime status.0
-
Glad to have you here Hope. Jump right in to some of the daily threads or just create a new one.0

Welcome mmb! I'm pretty convinced you can be counting points or calories (or widgets, for that matter) as long as you stay around your maximum daily allowance, you'll get the results you're looking for. Glad to have you aboard; like goldenfrisbee said, jump right in!0

Hello All! Well, I'm back again for the 4th time, I believe. I've been lurking for a good while but not taking part, embarrassment mostly I guess. 2016 was a particularly bad year for me. I had a couple of serious operations and lost Ruth Ann, my wife of 40 years, in September from heart issues. I know, those are just excuses, not reasons. But I guess the point is that I'm back and will do my best. Good to see so many familiar faces and avatars still here. I'll relate more of the story in other posts. Good to be back, I THINK!!! lol1

Welcome back Tim! Sincere condolences on the loss of your DW. Remember the good times.
Are you going to follow your old WW program? MFP? Whatever you choose, stick with it. You can do it!0 -
Hi Phil! I'm tracking on my PP calculator and keeping a daily computer record on MFP.0

Tim,
I saw yr friend request but your account is private so I'll respond here. Sorry for your loss, I don't know what I would if that happened to me. Our 48th anniversary is next month.
My five year WW anniversary is is 1/17, I have lost 145# (376 to 231) but BMI chart still say OBESE, so I keep going toward Onederland.
The MFP GoaD group has some veterans and we are trying to get new recruits.
Question: How did you find us GoaDies on MFP? We switched last Fall, in Aug I think?
Always nice to see a familiar face, Welcome!

Welcome Tim. I am sorry for your loss. I am glad you found us and are back.0
