Hey guys, my name is Paul. I'm looking for people to follow on this message board. I may not be the most attractive guy showing off their fat body, but probably the best way to show it all off LOL.

    At first I thought your pic was indecent, but then I noted your gender. Good luck.

    Welcome Paul and don't worry about attractive the important part is that you are taking control of your life and starting your journey. This has to be a lifestyle change and one that you need to ask yourself what is your WHY?? How bad do you want to get healthy and fit? What deamons must you fight through to get the results you want. My journey started November 2009, I weighed 255lbs and wore a size 20/22 and was in the worse shape of my life and ate everything unhealthy. Today, I am the healthiest I have been in 25 years and loss 118 lbs and in size 4.More importantly I feel FANTASTIC and you will too soon!! I am a beachbody coach paying it forward and guiding people towards a healthier fit lifestyle. Friend request me on here and if you have a facebook as well which I am more active on... https://www.facebook.com/heidi.collins.39?ref=tn_tnmn

    Keep it going and NEVER GIVE UP!!! Heidi

    Welcome to MFP Paul. It takes a lot of courage to take an honest photo and post it like you did. I commend you for this. I have been on MFP for about a month-ish (consistently) and it has helped me stay motivated to my goals. I hope I can do the same for you. Feel free to add me any time and lets do this together :)

    Welcome Paul! Feel free to add me! It's a long road but totally worth it! I am 11 pounds down and even though that's not a lot, I feel so much better! Another plus with a much better diet and exercise is that I am sleeping better and the back pain I had before is gone. We can celebrate the little steps, and mfp is a great motivational tool.

    Well I have cut down on pop intake quite a bit. Try to limit to a can a day. I also try to avoid going out to eat as much as I can but it's tough.

    I'm scheduled to meet with someone on Monday at a fitness club. Tell them my goals, what I want accomplished and such. Likely take a fitness test that morning. Not sure what to expect there.

    Please feel free to add me, I love to encourage others! :) Laying it all out like that in a pic is very commendable, I'm still not ready to do that and I've been kicking around the site for like 10 months!!! So, bravo to you!!!!

    I am five weeks in and still not willing to post a picture. Although you have me thinking about it. I wish I had started back when I was 25. I am 41 now with two kids. Luckily my wife is being super supportive. I'll send a friend request. I am having great success over the last 5 weeks, felling better, exercising about every day (was very sedentary), and have lost 8+ lbs.
