    Hey all, I'm 6'7" and started at 350 on 7/19/12, down to 325 as of this morning, just from diet change i.e. no exercise. I can imagine what will happen when I actually have time to exercise when I'm back at school!

    I couldn't remember if I'd already said "Hey-Oh!" and didn't have time to read 30000 posts.
    Good to see there are lots of other dudes on here. I would be on here even if I was the only male. I like tracking this junk. Keeps me motivated.

    I have noticed that there are many woman on this site not that it's a problem, because generally it's harder for a woman to loose compared to a man, BUT for motivation sake WHERE are the men and their success stories as I am a 6'3 BIG MAN looking to stay motivated and get in shape.

    My progress since March 3rd, 2011 up until 1 week ago. Not the tallest guy, but at 232lbs for my height I was pretty big myself.

    I know I don't belong in this thread; I was confused by the title. :D

    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:

    LOL glad I wasn't the only one

    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.

    Love seeing my friends on here! Keep it up! You're rockin' the results! <3

    Yep, I'm a 34 yr old, 6'0 tall and started my journey at 242 here on the site just over 2 months ago. I'm now down in the 210/209 range with a goal weight of 195 (maybe going down to 185). Haven't posted pictures on here yet, either waiting to hit the goal weight or Day 100... whichever one comes first.

    I'm in the same boat with being told - "you carry it so well, you didn't have anything to worry about". But two ankle surgeries (on the same ankle) later, still having pain in joints and not being very active was weighing pretty heavily on me. So, June - I picked up MFP and have been going strong ever since.

    Keep up the hard work everyone - male and female - because this isn't a diet... it is a new lifestyle for all of us.

    I am a short big guy 5'7" got to my heaviest at 269lbs currently sitting at 247lbs. Don't have before and after pics on my work computer. I let myself go after getting out of the Army. I progressively got to the heaviest I have ever been over 5 years. When I was in I was 205 at 15-17% BF. Nothing like forced workouts :happy: I would like to get to that again but know it will take some time

    6'2 276 here. I was 315 a year ago and have yo-yoed to 290. Now really zoned in so looking to get into the low 200's. Not sure what weight I will end up. Don't want to get too skinny - I like having a stocky build. I am thinking 215 is the magic #.

    6' 1"
    Started -- 310 (3 weeks ago)
    Current -- 293
    Goal -- 230? 220? Who knows? I'll get my body fat % tested again when I'm around 240 lbs then I'll make a final goal decision at that point. 220 would probably be a pretty good weight for me if I had to guess. But it's difficult to guess when you are so far out of shape.

    Hi guys !
    Only 6' 7", started 205 (in fact 210 before joining MFP), goal 172.
    And sorry for my english, I'm french :bigsmile:

    6 feet 7 inches ou bien 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm)?

    6'7" is two meters, and I doubt you'd say "Que deux metres"! Plus 172 seems awfully light for 6'7". I'm only 6'6" (que 198 cm) and my goal is 208.

    In any case, bienvenu!
