When it comes to being a "big man" - I think I definitely take the cake (or at least try to run away with a slice or two).

6'3", 356 lbs currently (started at 380)
14EEE shoes - I go into shoe stores, ask "do you have 14 wides that AREN'T basketball shoes?", and usually walk right back out.
21.5" neck, 52" waist, 58" chest, 30" thighs, 21" calves, and 19" arms

And here's the kicker - 24% bodyfat. I'm permanently stuck in 300-land unless I want to lose muscle mass, and that ain't happening. I've got throwing competitions to win. So my goal is about 325 or 330, 315 at the lowest.

About 15 lbs off already, but still a little overpadded:


A month ago (the most recent I have):


My goal is to get back to this or better (this was about 340 lbs, but at a higher bodyfat%):

I'll check in. I started in December of 2011 at around 310#. My current weight is 238. My GW is 225. I seemed to have plateaued recently, but I think it's mostly due to the busy summer schedule and not eating as well as I could.

Pretty recent

Count me in. Started MFP last month at 302 or so. I was 320 back in April, but I know that wasn't my heaviest. I haven't really set a goal weight yet, just hope to consistently continue to slim down. This is the first time I've really tried to do anything to address my weight issues and so far the progress has been steady.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you're looking for support. I'm won't comment on your logs every night or, "at-a-boy" you every time you go for a walk, but I'll be pulling for you all the same.

Don't have any answers for you but can provide motivation and support.

Add me as a friend if you want. I can not have too many...

I KNOW I tell my husband but he will not record anything. He is 6ft 5in 340 but he will just not use the site. But he does workout with me and is watching what he eats. Good for you though do not let the lack of men keep you from visiting and recording your food. I know my husband drinks a lot of calories by stopping at 7-11 but he is working on changing to the crystal lite now ofered there.

Good Luck

My new name is Slim Jim, but I'm a big guy in transition. I started at 330 (May 23, 2012) per my last weigh in I was 299, so i'm making progress. I'm 6'0 even.... There are a ton of guys on here who've lost major weight as you can see from the response... LoL!

I have been on MFP since Feb. 2012 and have lost 46 lbs. I started at 260 lbs at 5'11" and was steam rolling my way to 300. I finally said this is enough. I started first by logging everything and noticed I was drinking 2000 calories or more a day in Coke alone. So i made some needed changes and am now consuming less than 1900 calories a day and working out 4 to 5 times a week buring 3000-4000 calories a week. My pants size went from a 40 to a 32-34 and shirts from a 3X to a 1X. I also ran my first 5k and did it in 32 minutes. My goal weight is 190 and I am at 214 right now. It is doable. Just don't treat it as a diet because it is not it is a lifestyle change and it takes time for your ind and body to adjust. Keep pushing forward and you will see results.

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:

I know, I was just getting ready to throw a few friend invites out to some of these guys. LOL HubbaHubba! :bigsmile:

Started at 6'0" - 325. Down to 219... Yes there's a few of us kicking around.

I'm in more of a maintenance phase now. But if you do the work, the weight will take care of itself.
