Big Men

I love this post man! Very inspiring. I was 320lbs when I started here and Now down to 283! My goal weight is 220 lbs (100 lbs). My Ultimate goal is to get back to my college weight in the 195-200 lbs range. I have been going at it now since July 2011.

I think it's more that men don't tend to feel the same types of social pressures as women regarding this issue.

Wrong. We sure feel it -- it's just expected that we don't complain about it. If your man came home crying how bad he felt because he was fat, you'd probably recoil in horror.

Good work, men!!

I'm 5'10" went from 210 to 160. It's easy to keep off if you get your diet fixed right. BigMech is a personal ("IRL") friend of mine, we swap tips all the time, though he's quite a bit stronger...

Think I fit into this group well. I started out in the 475 range and at 6' 3". I am currently at 305ish and liking it. I have actually maintained this weight for a month on purpose. I may go ahead and drop down to the 260 range but that is likely as low as I will go.

Open to friends requests just send me a note. I'm really busy at moment so it may be a few days before I respond.

Keep working it.

I'm 6'11.

I was 320ish now down in the 270s. I feel your pain, so easy to gain weight..

6'3'', 6'4'', depends on the day really.

I was 288 when I started, with a goal of 220. I'm at 228 now and have since changed my goal to 188 because I know that I absolutely will not be happy or "thin" once I hit my original goal. I plan on celebrating the day the scale tells me 220, but then getting right back to work to lose 32 more. My goal has gone from losing 68lbs to losing 100lbs and getting myself in that "normal" BMI range.

I can do it. I never thought I could do this, and I have, so I know I can do that.

I'm 5"10. I weighed about 270 until I got serious with this website and workouts. I lost nearly 10lbs this month. My meter says 4 lbs. lost because I was 265 December and I gained weight during summer and It wouldn't let me change it to 270 on the meter so I just left it. But I lost about 10 lbs.

6'2" and 380 starting out. Down to about 360 now. Still a long ways to go but seeing some or the changes people have made in this thread makes me want to get there even more. Feel free to add me as a friend as I could use the support.

6'4" 60 lbs lost so far. I've been at it since Jan 2 with a starting weight of 294. Been exercising 6 days a week and eating right...at least during the weekend. I eat whatever I want over the weekend. It is working well for me.
