LighterLife Men's Forum

[mikey]

It has been suggested to me that if tere were enough men here, that it might be possible to have a men's forum.

I think this is a great idea - perhaps if you are a man and you agree, you could post in this thread so that the mods have an idea of how many men might join in.

Cheers
Mike

I am not a man, but I think that is a very valid request!! Would be nice for the guys to have a place to discuss the males issues during this thing without having to trawl through all the girly bits!!

But don't expect to keep us out all the time!!! Just like a clubhouse....a "no girls allowed" sign never works!!!

Mikey, I'm on board....

You can count me in

Agreed - women welcome to prowl!

Cool - that makes 2 of us then .......

Come on you lot!

I love the idea of a men's board
Maybe a general one though for all men on a VLCD rather than just Lighter Life?

I know we have a new Lipotrim member starting tomorrow. We could put it in the general VLCD place.

What do you think?

[canireallydothis!!]

I think it would be great as a general VLCD one, would then welcome all the men we have too.

Fab!

[Starlight]

Would it not be better having it somewhere other than VLCD then users of any diet could use it. There were a couple of men on WW but their posts died off, I think we scared them away.

I know there are a couple of men on SW too...

[Petey]

Sure, im in.

Yes - that would be better than nothing I guess. I'd rather have it just for LL though as there are differences and it can confuse people about what is allowed and what is not.

[Blonde Logic]

I agree with that Mikey.

Perhaps they could do a Men's Main Forum, and then have sub categories for LL, CD, etc? Just a thought.

I don't think so Starlight.
I for one do not use the general weight loss boards.
I am absolutely not interested in anything to do with WeightWatchers and that sort of diet and I would not bother contributing or reading a thread that covers so-called diets like WW.

I am sure that I am not alone in this.

An interesting question though - is there a certain zeal about VLCD's?

Several people on LL that I have spoken to have nothing but scorn for WW yet praise LL, and I have to say that the evidence does seem to point to the fact that VLCDs are the most effective way of losing a lot of weight. Perhaps WW is Ok for those with a few pounds to lose though.

I have never heard scorn to the other plans, other then the fact they take such a long time. Well, when you have a lot to lose that is. So I think that is why LLers feel so strongly that LL is a better plan. For our needs it is, as if you do it by more 'traditional' methods, you soon lose motivation well before you are even remotely close to anything resembling a goal!!
