in Introduce Yourself
I'm sitting at 250lbs right now. Want to get down to 190 or so. I started watching what I ate calorie wise about a month ago. Just found this app for my android phone, and seems like a pretty easy way to keep track! So far, I'm down 14lbs and haven't struggled at all. Just paying more attention to what I shovel in my mouth. Here's some pics of me where I am right now.

    No you are not the only guy on here. However, you are the only one I have seen with full length pictures. You are ok! And you are doing good with your weight loss - men seem to have it easier anyway. You naturally have more muscle.

    Keep it up and want to see the follow up pictures!

    Nope, I am a guy and I am here.

    Glad to see you're doing well. Keep up the good work and it'll pay off.

    Oh there is a woman around here but she's really a man but that's whole other thread. Something to do with profile settings.

    Sounds pretty good. Are you getting any exercise in at all. You will speed up your losses if u do basic weight training as well... I'm actually on a road to do the opposite of what you are doing...gain muscle so I use this to make sure I'm eating enough. But to answer your question, nope...not the only guy...lol

    Awesome work brother. I started this adventure myself about a year ago and i been doing the same thing. Being careful about what goes in. Except for this turkey week. I failed miserably.

    No, you aren't!

    Good luck on your journey. I've definitely found controlling and changing my weight much easier with the help of the features on this site.

    Phew! This is what I posted on another forum I'm a member of a little while back and it holds true today...

    I'm in reasonable shape, stamina wise, but I've got about 70lbs I'd really like to get rid of. I walk 5-10 miles most weekends in the desert chasing small game. I don't have a problem hiking, etc. I can play a 30 minute full-court basketball game and be winded, but not dead. I don't work in an office, I'm self-employed, and manual labor is my thing. I climb ladders, dig holes, carry heavy stuff, etc etc. Muscle/stamina is not really an issue, I'd just like to get rid of the damn fat. I'm 33 years old, weigh 265. In high school I was around 190. I'd like to get back to that weight.

    I've never really been careful with my diet, and I know that's the problem. I know I'm thinking about this at the worst possible time of year, but I'm ready. I'm not averse to exercise, but it seems like no matter how much physical activity I do, my weight is pretty constant. I've been within 5lbs of where I am right now for probably 3-5 years. In other words, I know my diet is the major issue. I like to eat. I enjoy food. And I've told myself for a long time "who cares if I'm a little chunky, food's yummy!". Well, I'm kinda sick of telling myself that. I'm getting to the point, age wise, if I don't rope it in and make some changes, I'm going to end up a lot bigger than I am as my physical activities slow down.
