I took a peek at your profile when I saw that great number on your ticker - I just had to say how fantastic you look, and I love that happy smile on your face! How smart you are to be having these realizations and making changes at such a relatively young age - no doubt you're going to go very far in life! :flowerforyou:0 -

This is just the topic I needed to read today. Thanks!
I am starting in a similar position. As of this writing, I am 6'6" and weigh 440. I also hate being the "big guy," even though I've been that way since I was a child. My problems have always stemmed from not being able to control my eating and drinking habits, and also lacking the energy/motivation to get moving, so those are definitely things I am working on.
This is going to be a long battle for me, but I finally feel ready to take on this challenge.0 -

absolutely man, and dont think of it as this LONNNNNNNG difficult journey. your goal needs to be to eat healthier and live a more active lifestyle so you are HAPPIER and more energetic!!! with this goal in mind......you can see success EVERY DAY! the weight loss will just happen over time as a byproduct of this lifestyle change. looking at it like this, you arent waiting until next year before you are successful.......you are successful EVERY day....and on top of that you have weight loss to be proud of as well0 -
Kinda thin in the Face.. Good luck on the journey0

My son's question to me last night
Do you know how much space one pound of fat takes up in your body?
thought provoking especially now that you've lost 15 pounds - years ago Oprah put the amount of fat (pounds) she lost in a wagon and pulled it on to the stage - imagine!
successful journey
keep on keepin on0 -
thanks all, very encouraging. week 5 weigh-in tomorrow hoping its a good one god bless0

What kinda exercise are you doing and food are you eating?
I've been eating healthy salads and smaller portions under 1300 calories and gyming for 2 hours each day for about 2 weeks now and all i lost was 2lbs.
Please help and give some
tips thanks0 -
Hey, I cann't relate to being the big guy, but I do understand how you feel, being the "bigger girl". I was unfortunately blessed with bad genetics. All the women on my moms side of the family, gained massive weight after puberty. I was not an exception to the rule. So I did bust my *kitten* hardcore and finally got down to a healthy weight when I was 20 (thats 9 years later). After having my daughter at 21 the weight didnt want to come back off, and now here I am once again, busting *kitten* to lose the 80 pounds I gained while pregnant.. (I know I gained alot :S) . Im totally rooting for you, Ill be here along the way to do this with you. If you want to add me feel free, good luck to you!!0

in summary: there is no ONE magic answer that is going to work for everyone. if your friend lost 100lbs doing diet type A and exercise type B, its possible that exact same diet and exercise regimen could leave you frustrated beyond belief if it doesnt line up with the way YOUR body works. You can do the guess and check method to see what works (which usually led me to get frustrated and give up) or do like we did and get a test done to get those answers easily. as ive said with many other people you can message me if you want more info on these tests, ive fallen in love with their process to the point ive agreed to spread the word and refer as many frustrated dieters as possible to them.
this week i lost 3.6 lbs and honestly i didnt eat that strictly......and i totally slacked off on exercise....im finally back into the 300 club at 398.6 for the first time in a few years.0 -

good luck to you as well!!! i think being a big girl is probably even harder than a big guy........for some reason being a big guy seems to be more socially acceptable, women are just automatically pressured to be little barbies. sounds like you have that genetic disposition like i do, it sucks! haha. the best thing i could do was to just man up and get real with myself that i have a serious self discipline problem and deal with it. this year has been amazing so far, and i am totally on track to hit the 50 lbs down by new years, looks like you are doing pretty well yourself! good work!0 -
Keep at it! I am right behind you! and no not with a knife.0
