Copying a post from another fitness pal user I would also like a weight loss twin who is similar measurements to me and with similar goals.

If you look at my profile you'll see I have had a weight gain of over 3 stone, this is the result of a 5 year gradual weight gain and I want to lose this and more!!!!

So my aim: lose 4 stone (or more)
Short term: track food every day and weigh in weekly

I also want to start exercising eventually, but at the moment I'm too ashamed of my body...

So my stats: I'm 23, 5'11" and 20 stone/280lbs.

Admitting my weight is a huge deal so please don't sling abuse at me in the comments...

If there's anyone else out there like me please add me/message me and hopefully we can work together and achieve our goals together.

    Let me just say, don't feel too embarrassed to exercise. Maybe you can start walking like 20-30 minutes a day? That's most of my exercise anyway...

    Seconding @melonaulait

    Walking is good. There are also plenty of videos on YouTube that you could follow at home, and to help with muscle retention while you lose try doing some body weight exercises.

    I am linking my favourite routine. You don't have to be able to do it all when you start, work up to being able to do all the moves. It took me months.

    Cheers, h.

    Well congrats on putting that out there then! That's a huge thing! You're taking charge! Sadly, I'm not your weight loss twin. I am only 5'6", much older, and a bit jealous because you get to eat more than me ;) Best wishes!

    I am 6', 25, started at 293 and am currently 187. I'm not at the same point on the road as you, but we have pretty similar specs, so I'll send you a request!
