I find men really motivating! I think because they don't go on with all the crap that we women do !

I agree!! I think men really work so hard to get where they want to be!! Men trying to lose weight and get in shape are very inspiring! :flowerforyou:

agreed!

Hey there. Not a success story just yet, but Im working my buns off to make this happen. Staying motivated so far is not a problem. I am 6'2" and started off at 400 lbs the beginning of March. My current weight is 364 lbs and I am trucking it all the way down to 260. I would like to keep in touch with all you so we could possibly keep each other motivated.... Did I mention I am doing all of this with a severe back problem? So motivated, we've got this fellas!

Big man here trying to drop some of these pounds started at 347 this year and I am down to 316, got to keep it going and get out of these three hundreds.I found the men on this site to be very motivating and I am always encouraged to see their results, hope it works out for you man and keep up the good fight.

I'm not tall, only 5' 7" but I was 244 pounds when I started on this site in January so I had a big belt. This week I moved the belt down a notch for the 3rd time in about 14 weeks. Still a long way to go before I achieve my goal but I have a good start.

I had double laminectomies performed on L4 & L5 in mid-February. I was 386 pounds then and I am 5' 11". I became very weak from sitting around waiting for surgery for two months. I knew I had to do something to get my life back in control. I found this app for my IPAD2 and it was easy to configure and track my calories. I started losing weight right away. In mid-March I purchased an elliptical machine designed for people up to 400 pounds. I began working out daily and within two weeks I was up to an hour per day on the machine. Weight loss stalled a bit in the first month after the workouts started, but has picked up again in the last two weeks. My strength is returning and my clothes are starting to loosen. As of today I have lost 31 pounds. I am dedicated to getting down to at least 230 within this year, if possible.

I'm 5'10", while not tall, I do consider myself a BIG MAN. I am new to MFP and I am so stoked at all the great work that you guys have done. I Started March 27th at 321 and today I am at 309. I can't wait till I hit that sub 300 range. Just wanted to really say that with all this inspiration I get from these threads I am sure I will hit my goal easily. Good luck to everyone else too!

I started last March, 6'7 at 377 wearing 3xl shirts and 46in pants. I am down to 260ish now in 40-42 pants 2xl shirts. Still have a longs way to go but this is a lifestyle change for me and I am really enjoying it.

There is a fella on here who lost a boatload and just looks beast now.
His thread is probably lost in the tides of estrogen.

I know I don't belong in this thread; I was confused by the title.

You're all pretty sexy, btw. I'm not a man, but I have serious poundage to deal with, and I like trying to motivate and being motivated.

Right?! I thought this was a thread about liking larger men. Damnit. Plenty of eye candy here though :drinker:

Also confused by the thread but sexy guys all over!

This is the best thread I've come across on here. I'm not very tall at 5'7", but I hope to lose around 28 pounds so I can finally weigh a healthy 155 pounds. So, please add me for motivation and support. We have to stick together guys.
