    Who thinks that 100 more pounds in 7 months is doable? I personally have my doubts, but I wanna get as close as I can.

    It has been done. But...
    What's the big rush? You likely didn't gain all 100 pounds in seven months. It's a life thing.
    Oh yeah, I'm 6'3"
    Good luck, and never quit.

    Another light shade basher here, 6' 3" with a haircut - started weighing at 290 (was bigger), down to 216 over 15 months. 100 over 7 months is probably do-able but probably not advised, unless for medical reasons. Take a bit more time, to give your skin the time to retract. Whatever you decide - good luck !

    6'3, I was almost 500 lbs. I been told I carry it well. Even at my heaviest everyone told me I looked 350-400. I am in no rush to lose it. I been at it for over 2 years now. To me the exercising and healthier eating is just the way of life now. I plan to keep going even when I reach my goal. Shooting for 200-220. Somewhere in that range.

    6'3" here and have about 105 to lose. Correction that i want to lose. So i'm in too.

    Started a week ago, already feel the difference in better eating and more excercise. My end goal is 205 or maybe less once I get there. Depends upon how i feel and look at that level.

    I am looking at losing mine in the next 18 months. It's not a race. When you get to the end you need to have practiced a lifestyle that you are comfortable with for the rest of your life. I can eat and exercise like I am right now forever. I'm comfortable and happy. I've done the yo-yo thing. I'm trying a little different speed this time.

    That being said, you seem to be having remarkable success with the methods you are using right now. Not many people can drop weight at that rate for more than a week or two. Congrats on your success

    I think what you said is key. Some of these guys are getting great results. I'm doing something I can sustain for the rest of my life.

    Big guy here but only 6'1". I started at 255 and am trying to reach 185.

    Amen. Where are all you hot TALL single men in my day to day life?!

    Any time I see a big/tall guy post I read it. I aways dated average to short guys with a medium build until I met my finacee 3 years ago. He is 6ft 5in and 311 lbs (now he was 347 in Jan). I like to see the issues other guys have to face with this build.
    By the way I could never date an average guys again!

    I am 6'5" and my max weight was 380 and I have been working on it for a couple years now during bursts of motivation and periods of maintenance. My first goal is to reach the 100lb loss mark which is very close! Then to get down to 250 and see how I look and feel and then possibly down to 230 for the final goal.

    I've been running a 1,000 calorie deficit and working out just about everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. P90X mornings, runs at night. I've lost 45 lbs in about 4 months, but I spent two or three weeks taking it easy with broken ribs (skiing accident) and severe sprained ankle (basketball). My Dr. must love and hate me because I get hurt and have to pay to see him, but dont really rest and take it easy like he wants me to. Ha ha

    All that to say, yes its possible, but you have work hard and literally work your rear off.

    Love the dedication! Yes, Virginia it is possible to work your *kitten* off (or break it, if you aren't careful):laugh: :laugh:

    Sign me up!! 6"3 and 275. Just started Monday. I have lost 22lbs on my own. It was more,but then I met a young lady and her bad habits ended up sucking me in. I know, have to be stronger. I am looking at losing 50lbs by mid September. It is the next time I will be going home to see all my family and would love to surprise them. I am always looking for new workouts and recipes. Lets kick some fat fellas!!
