Umm... am I the only guy here?

Hello,

I'm not seeing a lot of guys around here.  My name is Dave.  I am married and have three kids.  I'm 33 years old.  I started out at about 276 lbs in August and I am currently down to 262.  I want to get to 230 lbs by December.  I really have my work cut out for me, so I guess that's what led me here. 

Hi Dave, welcome to c-c.

There are plenty of men here.  Sometimes with user names it can be hard to tell who is male and female.
Check out the daytime chatroom, a lot of them post in there.

Hey, I'm a dude. I'm new also, this is my first post. I'm 29 from NY. I started at 255 on August 18th and I'm currently at 245. Trying to get to 200 by April, but my bigger goal is 180 by next August. It's going great so far.

I don't see a whole lot of men on the boards, but I can assure you that you're most definitely not the only man calorie counting. Don't feel alone! I know it can be nice to have support from your own gender, but us chicks aren't so bad either. Congratulations on your loss!

I have an inspirational fella who has loss over 200 pounds and he is a moderator in the weight loss forum.  His name is Duke3522.  Look him up and read his story.  Tell him, heavenly sent you!

Good luck and congratulations!

Take care and God Bless

I'm a guy. Been hanging around here for two years. This does work if you follow the plan and advice. I lost 50lbs...started walking and have become the healthiest ever in my entire life. The topics in the forum and many can be fun. Lots of guys here so join the crowd.

I just joined.  Lost 55 lbs since December of last year from 235 to 180 and am having a hard time losing 10-15 more.  Thought the info from here might help me out.  Great to be a part of such a health concious organization.

we need more guys here to help dilute all the estrogen.

STAY! PLEASE!

good luck dave.

Congrats on your sucess so far.  I'm 3 days in to the site and love it. I tried going no carbs before and just failed at that one miserably. I found this and my son and I have a friendly bet to go 30 days without eating any meat. Our deal is it could not have had a face. Dairy is okay, (are eggs considered dairy?) We are not against meat, however I wanted to cleanse my body and wanted to try to increase my fruits, vegetables and grains. I am not much on bread. I have have had success so far by keeping under 2000 calories per day. Eating the fruits and veggies I found to be filling and I get hungry but a few veggies or a piece of fruit and I am good to go. I also eat protein bars I try to at least add one per day.  I am going to start adding a protein drink to supplement my protein intake.

So to answer your question yes there are men here.

My name is Mike I wish you continued success. I plant to weigh in another 4 days.
