    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.

    Thank you for sharing that link - I hadn't perused any success stories, had never heard about this guy. Totally incredible and undoubtedly inspirational.

    I started 285 and now I'm about 239. The motivation comes from deep within, it's not something you can jump out of bed and say "hey, I wanna lose weight". You gotta plan and get your head focused, set small goals and every time you accomplish it give yourself a nice meal. Good luck man!

    Big Guys Unite! Feel free to add me if you want. There are lots of us on here. My take on it is that you don't see as many posts from the guys asking "Does my butt still look fat?" So, it's a little harder to notice us.

    6'3" here. Started at 300. Down to about 274 and working my way down slow and steady. We'll see how far down the scale goes.... Lots of good stories for the big men too. :drinker:

    2012-03-18_02-58-59_727.jpg

    the weight loss has slowed down a bit but I am in no rush. I don't have a set goal weight on the scale I am shooting for. I am going by how I look and feel. Probably somewhere in the 200-220 lbs. range.

    There are plenty of men on MFP - Big tall men like the OP and short but very round men like I used to be.

    There are also some groups for men, such as:

    and one for mega weight loss:

    Just found another group for Big Men:

    I am 6' 1" and started at 249 lbs in Nov 2011, now 158 days after I am at 201 lbs.

    Target is at 187, but may go for 183 depending on how I look at 187 :-)
    Strength training now

    BTW, as other posters noted, women are also great motivators at MFP.
    Have many of them as friends.

    If you need to find members close to your age, area where living, etc you can search at:

    I am 6'5" and my SW was 385, I am now 253 pounds. I want to drop probably 10 or 20 more pounds. I understand completely how it is to be a big man. I used to wear a size XXXXLT t-shirt and I wear a XXL at the moment, I just tryed on my brother's t-shirt( which is XL) and it fits!

    6'4" started at 384.

    Currently around the 324 mark. Stopped losing weight, apparently I am turning fat into muscle faster than I am losing weight. Pants keep getting looser thought he weight changes little. I imagine I will start losing again quickly.

    You sound pretty close to my build and my goal weight. Doctors charts are wacked if they think I am going to hit 210. I would not look right.
