I started this in the LBG group that disappeared... so I'll try again :happy:

I'm Kyle and I'd like to make more gay male MFP-pals to encourage and chat to.

I've met a couple here already which is great and also have a great bunch of weightloss pals, but the more's the merrier :wink:

I've been a bit of a bear most of my adult life, but I want to have more of an Otter's build although the pelt's becoming more ermine these days :laugh:

Roll up! Roll up! Stand up and be counted :glasses:

    Oh, there are a few here, but looks over all looks like we are seriously out numbered.

    Hi There :happy:

    I know a couple of other gay men on MFP ... but in the LGBT stakes we certainly seem to be in the minority :ohwell:

    I was just reading your profile and I can identify with what you say. I too was kind of resigned to being the Bear but now I really want to be more of an otter. I'm 215 at the moment and I want to get down to 143lbs, so I've still got a long way to go. But I kow that it's achievable because my attitude has changed so much over the past three months. Sure I'm on a diet, but it doesn't feel like one because I eat what I want to and now make lighter choices which helps keep me under my daily Calorie target.

    You've done really well and looking at your profile pics, you look amazing! :blushing:

    I'd love one day to be able to wear and open shirt without a T-shirt during the summer or on holiday and not feel self-conscious about my belly or man-boobs :embarassed:

    Take care! :flowerforyou:

    I did not mind, in fact, I liked being a big guy and like bigger guys. I was very comfortable around 240-250 pounds for a long time. I do kind of miss my butt....

    But the health issues just really got to me and I topped out about 292 and now last week I was 194 (on my own scale - I use the program/Dr's for tracking here)

    My activity level is so much better, and I'm hoping my energy level comes back after I switch to a higher calorie maintenance program.

    ... yea, not sure where I fit in the zoo anymore...

    We are an endangered species on MFP :laugh:

    But apart from the Bears it's almost taboo to be gay, male and overweight!

    Wow... Just catching up with the boards and I'm slightly stunned and impressed that the most exclusive club in MFP is growing in numbers... I'll be send adds to those that are gracious enough to accept. (who knew MFP had an add limit... probably to stop spammers!)

    Welcome one and all :flowerforyou:

    Ok, I now feel slightly humbled and spurned into action... so what's on everyone's mind as we approach Epiphany (appropriately enough)?

    I'm struggling a bit to get back into the swing of things and chocolate is screaming at me like Audrey II... Feed me Seymour! Feed me!

    I'm still loving the swimming and wish I could swim on days I have to go into London to work. Have plans to go tomorrow evening to see what it's like then (as I'm normally an early morning swimmer).

    So what's everyone else's favourite workout/exercise plan?

    :bigsmile:

    So my gay furry chums... what are we all doing this weekend?

    The holiday party season is now well and truly behind us, but for some it's still the dead of winter and it doesn't inspire us to get out and get fit.

    I've nothing special planned, but will no doubt go swimming Saturday & Sunday and maybe even go for a bike ride on Sunday if it stays dry.

    Other than that, it'll be a normal weekend. Shopping in the morning, down the pub in the afternoon and then a bit of telly & surfing in the evening.

    Got a busy week next week working in London Mon & Tues then up to Brum for rest of week. I'll be glad of the rest come next weekend!
