I'm 6'6" and back in March of 2010, I was 490 lbs!

As of this morning, I weighed in at 234 before heading out to the gym before 6am.

I changed my diet to be healthier (more protein, less carbs and fat), started actually tracking my calories, and started hitting the gym. While I losing the weight, I was shooting for 2,400 calories a day, I'm now eating 3,500 a day and still losing about a pound a week.

For the past 18 months I've been going to the gym 5 days a week, about 2 hours a day, and I also run 5 miles twice a week during lunch at work.

This is a before and after shoot when I hit 245 which was the half way point


This one is at 245 with my old pants


This one is at 235

You're F'n Awesome!!

Thanks for showing how it's done.

Feel free to add me up if you're serious about your health, diet and fitness - always great to have friends with similar goals!

About 6'3 and currently 336.

I hit my peak weight at about 373 last summer. Lost some weight before the holidays and then gained a few back after the holidays. I started on here at 361. So far, I'm down to 336 as of this morning.

I set up a bunch of goals for myself: Pants size, shirt size, lose 10%, BMI under 40, BMI under 30, under 300, under 250, etc. etc. etc. so that I can hit a bunch of different goals at different times to (hopefully) keep me motivated.

I think I'm pretty close to dropping a pants size and shirt size. Maybe as early as the end of this month.

The "diet" has actually been fairly easy so far -- it's the exercise I'm not a fan of. I need to find some active things to do that I love.

I set my goal to 200, but we'll see how I feel as I get closer. If my body fat% is under 18 and I'm above 200, I'll probably feel fine about that. I have a picture of me when I was about 250 and I look pretty thin (with shirt on).

GOOD to see so many serious MFP guys here, I had same impression that it is a predominantly a women website!
I am 33 years182 cms started with 94 kilos now midway of my target 80.5 kilos; great to see you all!

6'3" tall, starting weight was 286lbs. I lost 60 lbs in 8 months counting calories and working out. Easy as that!
I've been floating around 230lbs for the past few months and have changed my workout from intense cardio/fatburn to toning and weights.
I dropped from a 42" waist to a 34" which is my favourite NSV to date.

Wow I like to hear that its just that simple NICE!

6'5" - started Jan 2012 @ 456lbs

Currently 399lbs

My goal is set for 299lbs for now, I don't think I'll stop using MPF at any time, so I'll see where it stops.

Can't wait to fit on a plane.

Hey man I feel you those plane rides are so rough for us big guys, way to go keep it up

I'm a woman but I have several taller/bigger men on my friends list. I don't even think it's about it being harder for women to lose... I think it's more that men don't tend to feel the same types of social pressures as women regarding this issue.

Believe me though, there aren't an overabundance of taller, bigger women either. I'm 6'1" and 437 (down from 485 a year ago) and it took me a while to find any people relatively close to me.

Hey keep up the good work motivation is good from where ever you might happen upon it, way to go girly!

I have noticed most of the success stories are full of women (and plenty of cleavage so no complaints here). However i joined at 5'7 292 and i'm at 269 now...i still dont see enough difference to comfortably post a before/after

Darkskinned88

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.

Another big guy here, 6'2" and 255 shooting to get back to 195. And I have tried to get some of my buddies on this site but many just aren't focused enough on their health to spend time doing this kind of thing.
