Hey all - New to MFP, looking to connect/chat with other like minded individuals on a similar journey to healthy living

Hi all I am a gay guy, living in south wales

Hi!
I'm Charles, and I'm a gay transgender man. I use he/him pronouns, and I am a month and a half on HRT.

Hello Everyone! I am 36 non-binary, nerd and furry. I had a heart attack just in September. I had no history of heart problems, I weighed 256 at the time, I had not high blood pressure or high cholesterol. While they are still trying to figure out why, it happened and I know my health needs to improve

I changed my diet and lifestyle and at the same time I was also required to join a cardio rehabilitation program (pritikin) after 36 sessions I am down to 210 lbs. I still have a ways to go, my diet right now is to help my body reset until I can plateau then maintain from there. I need to also reduce my body fat % to help keep my heart healthy. Everything I do is for heart health and to make sure I can keep going.

I'm always up to discuss recipes or products you have found to help. It would be also nice to work with someone in the area (Seattle)

Hi everyone. I’m a trans man. I’ve been on T for 5 months now. I’ve started to look and feel more like me so now I just need to lose a bit of weight to feel completely at home in my body. I’m aiming to lose 40lbs to look and feel healthier. I’m finding it hard to this since I’ve always been big so I’m looking for a community to keep me on track.

Hi, I'm Kayla, nonbinary/transmasc (microlabels in flux atm), aroace, lesbian. I know, a mouthful! This is my second time trying to get on board with MFP, and this time I have a goal to work towards. I'm sitting at 228 which isn't my heaviest ever but approaching it. I've got an 8 month old niece and hope to start HRT this year, both of which are worthy of trying to get back into shape! I'm not so much worried about losing weight as I am about becoming fit regardless of the number on the scale, and ideally I'm hoping to get a more masculine shape as I go along. A big issue for me has always been accountability and comfort with being queer, so this group seems like the right place for me!

Hi everyone I'm Jennifer and I am a lesbian who goes by she/her/hers and I am engaged to the love of my life and we met on a dating app and I could not be happier she is amazing and beautiful and sexy loving loyal and honest and tells me like it is when I upset her. I love her to death.

Hey Folx!
I'm Lou -- non-binary, Les Mills Body Pump attendee, rope-flow beginner, lead salsa dancer, and all-round good person. Looking to stay on track with protein intake. Feel free to friend me if you get a second. Very grateful that we are represented here on MFP.

Hi guys and gals. I’m Pete, 53 years young, type2 diabetic (hereditary), happily married gay man from the UK. Always up for friends on this journey x

Hi, I'm Grey! I'm at 39 year old trans man living in the greater ATX area. I've been on and off MFP for the better part of a decade, if not more. I'll do really well at tracking my foods and exercise for a month or so, and then I'll drop off because I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere. It's hard to talk about with my IRL friends and my family because none of them have the same weight issues that I do. I have 110lbs to lose after losing 40lbs in the last 18 months. I'm looking for friends who can help me be accountable, cheer me on, and that I can do the same for. Thanks for reading!

Hello! I'm Chris and currently live on the gulf coast. I've always been big, but a while back I lost a lot of weight and found my abs. Unfortunately, life happened and I've gained it all back. I'm looking for an accountability partner. Someone to harass me and motivate me and maybe I could do the same for them. If interested, feel free to message me.

Hi nice to meet everyone.

I'm Benny (he/him) trans tfm and bisexual. I'm 20 and a student in Scotland.

I started off a few months ago at 110kg (245lbs and obese) and am down to 86kg (overweight), working towards 68-73kg.

Nice to meet everyone and best of luck on your journeys

I’m autigender. My pronouns are she/her/they/them
My gender is…. a social construct that really doesn’t apply much of the time.

I’m a boomer. But I try not to be A Boomer, y’know?

I’m disabled, and working my way down from a weight I didn’t measure at my highest, down to maybe 150? I got to around 167 a couple years back and stopped logging in. I’m around 220 now.

Glad to have some like minded friends.

Hey, I think im on here as madmud which is a name I use for artistic pursuits. I go by Pixie. I’m bi/poly/queer/artsy/aspy/goofy. I’ve gained 25 lbs (per my pcp) since I’ve met my boyfriend. I guess love makes you fat. She was not happy with that answer. Our girlfriend (I hate thrupple, meh trio, we are a truffle) has been with us 8 months. She & i are struggling to loose the “love handles”. I now understand that term a LOT better. He hates anything ‘diet’, I’m more the cook/baker. This is going to be an interesting journey to get us all healthy and myself at a more reasonable weight again.

About Me:
Gay man, 67 years old, widower, dealing with a bad hip repair (Medicaid s*cks!), as well as MS, so have used a rollator since 2017 for balance, stability and strength.

Why I want to get in shape:
As LMFAO sings it, I wanna feel "I'm sexy and I know it!" LOL

Seriously, I want to what I can to live longer, as I'm now in the second half of my life. That requires healthier eating and losing weight! I'm at the lower end of the obesity scale and working towards having a "Dad Bod" finally. I want to walk w/o constantly stopping to catch my breath. I want to have confidence again to go on a date.

For the 'umteenth' time again, I'm on a low-calorie diet (no junk food, very little processed food, only sugar in my coffee, no 'bad' fats, very little white flour) as well as intermittent fasting (16:8 or 18:6 or 24 hours or 48 hours). June 1st, 2024 I started at 286.2 lbs; today (July 16, 2024) I'm at 262.6 lbs.

I've purchased a set of resistance bands and dumbbells and just started using them! Looking to buy a weight bench on Amazon Prime today!
