Any other LGBT family here?

Hi everyone,

I'm starting this new fitness journey. I am almost 30, 5'8 and weight 268lb. My goal right now is to get rid of the 68, then once that is achieved, work on getting to a goal weight of 175lb. Its going to be a long journey but I think I can do it!

I have an amazing supportive wife and I was curious if there are any other LGBT family in this kind of thing. haha

I'd love any support, and friends that I can get.

    Not LGBT but certainly supportive of happy healthy families, whatever they look like. If you would like to be friends with a fat lady old enough to be your mother, I would love to be friends with you. I've lost about 30 lbs with another 80-100 to go. I eat anything and everything but try to eat reasonably healthy. I' m relatively new to the mfp community and am looking for friends of all ages to provide support to each other. Add me if you would like.

    I am restarting a long fight with weight and need someone to touch base with. I am a Proud Mom of trans man and as an attorney for children I work on a committee to make change for LGBTQ Youth. Hope that qualifies. Lol

    Hello there! Welcome to MFP. It looks to me that you and I are pretty similar. I am 28, 5'5 and weigh 245 lbs. I am happily married to my lovely wife and eager to get my weight loss journey on a roll. I am currently in search of a weight loss partner if you are interested. If not, it's all good :D. Congratulations on your new beginning and good luck on the journey!

    Hey, I’m new here too! I’ve been working on losing weight for the past 9 months with the support of my lovely wife as well :) I’ve lost 12lbs so far and want to lose about 30 more for a goal weight of 125lb (5’3). Hope we can support each other through our journeys!

    Welcome to MFP!

    My middle child is trans and gay. We're just a couple of months into this crazy adventure, and I couldn't be more proud of him. :)

    There's an LGBT+ group if you scroll to the bottom of the boards and search. The last time I checked it wasn't super active, though (but it's been a while). I'm not super active chit-chat wise, but feel free to add me if you want more friends. :)

    Also, this is one of those threads where it's really hard to tell if people are misunderstanding the 'woo' button or just being mean, haha.

    I'm new the message boards not the app. With diet, tracking my food in my fitness pal, and exercise I'm almost down 50lbs. I could use more friends. Feel free to add me.
