I am pretty much it at my meeting. On occasions another guy shows up and is gone just as soon. I did lose faster than some of the women but one who has lost a lot, still loses a pretty good bit each week. A few couples have appeared and then the guy is gone. It probably does appear to cater to women more and it was awkward at first. Tell him to hang in there.

He was happy with his losses, but wanted More men around, and was aggravated because WW was saying he was losing too fast. So I told him to ignore them, it was a guy thing vs a slower losing women thing, and he groaned that there should be more men. He and one other are the only men at our meeting.

Oh, okay, I get the ground rules now. Sometimes I have an idea of how things are going but right now it is totally up in the air. Unless I really blow things it should be close to a wash - a bit up or down. I have been thinking of returning the tub of meringues to the kitchen and trading htem for a skinny cow so you can see how it is going.
19 pounds in 3 weeks - yikes. What was he groaning about?
