Gentlemen,
Thanks to my friend Tony for inviting me to join this fine group. My name is Michael, I go by the call sign WingMan. I acquired that name due to the fact I ride a Honda Goldwing. I am from the great state of Tennessee and am looking forward to getting to know you guys and hanging out with y'all.

Usually 1/3 to 1/2 a cup of steal cut oats made with 3.5x the water, some cinnamon, a bit of almond extract, 1/4 to 1/3 a cup of raisins (probably more sugar then I should have but eh, screw it). a pinch of salt (need it, trust me) and top it off with a 1/3 a cup of soymilk.
400-500 calories, fills you up for hours and has a buttload of fiber (pun intended)0 -
I gotta have my Cheerios and O.J. in the morning or I am lost the rest of the day!0

Hey guys. I am a 32-year-old dad with 2 foster children and a 6-month-old. I have a lot of weight to lose and I want to do it for myself and my family? Do I qualify for one of those hats? ha ha.
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you guys and sharing our struggles together. Feel free to add me. I live in Missouri, work in the publishing industry and like to spend time with family!0 -
Hi Guys,
I'm not real active on these boards but I saw the name of this group and HAD to join. 37 years old. 5' 9" from Norwalk, IA (Des Moines Suburbs). Been at this since New Years. Down 34 lbs and I'm pleased with that. I've sort of been at a plateau for the past couple weeks but I've worked through them before, so I'm not concerned. Almost half way to my goal of 175 which was my wrestling weight in high school. Started at 251. In November, I left a VERY active route driver position distributing Naked Juice where I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. Doing this for my three daughters (10, 7, and 4) and of course my wife. I was on a path to heart disease and an early death. My diary is open if anyone is curous about that. I'm not a "clean eater" by any means. I basically just stay within my calorie goals and eat whatever I want as long as I can make it fit in my calories. Thanks for starting up this group. While I can't say I'll post much, I will most likely lurk here daily. If you're looking for friends, hit me up.0 -

Gentlemen,
I have spent the last bit of time reviewing the weighty discussions of your membership and at this time request admittance.
It is my understanding that my acceptance to the group will be probationary in nature, until a full meeting of “The Royal Order of Middle Aged Fat Men” (I saw something about an annual convention in Las Vegas…anyone have the dates??) at which time my credentials will be reviewed. If approved, I understand that I will be allowed to participate in the time honored, revered tradition of the “Truffle Shuffle” and that I may also be elgible to receive a hat
For your consideration:
• 49 years old and hearing the footsteps of 50
• Married with 3 kids (all still home and all still spending my money)
• 6’2” and 249 at the highest
• Living in Iowa City, IA
• Hawkeye by marriage, Badger by birth
• Need to shed pounds and get fit to hold off the 16 yr old son as long as I can.
• Like pizza
• Love beer
Question: Is it required that Grand Poobah Hoss approve my request, our is a seconding by one his lieutenants sufficient?
Thank you sirs for your time.

Hello all. I'm 43, fat virtually all of my life, and trying to do something about it. Again.
When I was 40 I got up to 420 lbs. (I'm 6' 1"), then lost over 70, then put 50 back on, then lost some, gained some, rinse, repeat. I'm currently somewhere between 380 and 390 and, this being the first day of a new month, I decided to relax my privacy settings a bit, try to come out of my MFP-hermit shell, and find a group to join -- preferably a bunch of guys who could relate to my situation. That would be you.
So, hi ... I'm Tom. I'm a middle-aged fat man. I aspire to be a middle-aged not-so-fat man, and maybe someday a still-clinging-to-middle-age slim man. (And eventually, an interesting old fart.)
Carry on.0 -

Hello Tom,
I am Richard. Welcome to our group. We Can Do This!0 -
Thanks, everyone. I've been having my food issues lately, but I'm really going to try to start tracking EVERYTHING ... maybe knowing that others can see my food logs will help keep my undisciplined butt in line.0

New to this and this is what I need, other guys who knows what it's like to be a big guy in a size 32 world. In it to win it, let;s do this.
CHEERS "raise tofu, dairy free, fat free, flax seed, omega 3, green grass, sludgy type drink"
Seriously though, divorced, 2 kids and I hit rock bottom. Started drinking hard, eating everything and anything (baconators .. ya nuff said) and let myself go. Now I've picked my lazy, fat *kitten* up, quit drinking (1 year sober) and I'm looking to make the second half of my journey better, healthy, and most of all happier. I'm want to feel proud, confident in who I am as a man, and I want to look good doing it.

Hi! I'm Jim, and i'm a middle aged fat man. Been a "BIG GUY" all my life. "Oh but your big boned, you carry it well" translated to in my mind "eat it all, its ok". That thought process worked great until I finally got on the scale and was pushing 380 lbs. I decided then that I'd had enough of the life i had been living. Plus I had a new wife that was smoking hot after having a gastric bypass and losing 150 lbs and a 4 yr old son that I wanted to see grow up. At the age of 44 I had a gastric bypass, I know a lot of folks will scream that its cheating. But, it's a tool. Used correctly it works. If not you just wasted yours and the surgeons time. So far I've lost 88 lbs. My goal is to weigh 200 lbs. Attempting to control that demon in my head that feeds into my eating, and to exercise more. Tired of making excuses....Gotta get my fat *ss slim....Friend me....Berate me as needed! But by all means dont let me fail in this!0
