Hi. I know you guys are mostly women, but this is honestly by far the best diet discussion forum site I've found and believe me I've looked and looked. I'm getting older and I've been overweight most of my life and would really like to lose 50 lbs so I can fit into my old high school size pants again (I had a 32" waist in high school). I actually know a lot about diet and nutrition and also about exercise. I aced a college nutrition class taught by a dietician not too long ago. My problem I think is that I just don't have anyone to support me in my efforts or to discuss things with. That's what I'm hoping to find here. This seems like a great place!
You have come to the right place! There is all sorts of advice and information around here, and someone is always willing to lend an ear and will always have encouraging words!
