Hi All,

I'm new here. Found this site via my search engine looking for diet support groups. There seemed to be some genuine and helpful people here, so I thought I'd issue a request for support on my journey. I know the title says "3 Fat Chicks", and I'm male, so let me know if I'm in the wrong place, but I didn't see anything in the FAQ against me participating, so here I go....

I recently started a journey to (or at least 'towards') fitness in 100 days. In order to make it more 'real' for myself, I started journalling my progress on a blog (as I'm sure many of you are doing as well). I've found that words of encouragement are VERY helpful, so I'm requesting a little support from you by leaving me a quick comment on my blog. This is NOT a commercial activity, and I get NO revenue of ANY kind through it. There are no ads, or anything, just a guy trying to get healthy and asking sensitive people to leave me some words of encouragement. You don't even have to register as I've enabled 'nickname' and 'anonymous' postings.

If you can spare a few minutes, I've tried to make the text light, funny, and interesting, so you might find it enjoyable. Please goto the following, comment on a post, and let me know you're behind me!

Thanks!

^^ There are plenty of male posters here! (Men give & need support, too!!!) So feel free to continue posting And all the best of luck to you ~

Hey DonC! We welcome roosters here. Good luck on your journey to fitness!

Hi there!
Some of our most notable posters are guys. And we all appreciate and support each other, so there! The reason this site is called "3 Fat Chicks" is because it was originally set up by three sisters who were in a quest to lose weight. The title reflects only that, and not a "gender restriction"! We all want the guys involved, so we hope to see you on the boards! BESIDES, how do you know that I'm really NOT a 13 yr old male middle school student in Peoria???
Hahahaha!

Hi Don,
I'm brand new here too. I found it while doing a Google search for other diet bloggers and support groups and it looks like an awesome place to be.

Reading through the forum shows me that there are a lot of people who care about each other here and little judgment (thank goodness for small miracles LOL), so something tells me I'll be spending a bit of time here each day.

I'd be happy to pass by and post an encouraging comment or two on your blog. Heck, I'll even post one right here for you - stick with it! It's a one day at a time mission.

I must say, I'm impressed with the warm welcome I received here. And a SPECIAL thanks to those that took the time to drop by my blog and comment on my journey (thanks Slim!). My intention is NOT to take people away from "3 Fat Chicks" (this is a very informative and supportive community), but to simply get a little help on my fight for fitness.

If you'd like to drop by and check on my progress, you can find it at:

Thanks, and good luck with your own personal battles!
