in Introduce Yourself
While I do appreciate that there are so many wonderful people on the boards, I would like the ability to make some guy friends on the site for support in our goal towards weight loss. If there are any guys out there, please add me. I'd greatly appreciate it. I need some support to get my weight loss back on track for the summer before heading back to school this fall!

    Hey!

    I'm looking for the exact same thing. Put on a load of weight since getting married and really need to lose it! I was 235 when I got married in July 2011 and weighed in April 294!!!! Need to get back down to my marriage weight! :-)

    Any help and accountability is appreciated.

    Hey back!

    I think it's a very manageable weight loss plan. I started at 218 and am looking to get back down to 170-ish (something that I have not been since middle school...errgh). I have only been under 200 once--maybe 2 years ago, but I've noticed the hustle and bustle of college has been impeding me in trying to get that weight off.

    Awesome!

    I was down to 270 before Memorial Day Weekend and am now 274. Went away to Olympia, WA for Memorial Weekend and kinda forgot about my workout haha :-)

    Hopefully by the end of this week I can get back on track and be about 270.

    My plan is to get to 250 by the end of August and then get down to 215 and be happy :-)

    I'm always up for new friends. I was a very plump 230 lb 6'3 guy who hasn't been under 200 since my freshman yr (sr now). This site is great for motivation and the app is killer for tracking foods.

    New to message board. Trying to lose weight on my own I been doing great (lost 17 pounds so far) but these past couple of days have been hard. If anyone wants to add me they can i figure we all need the support anyway.

    Just to let you know a little about me I just retired from the Army about a year ago married with two kids 37 years old.

    It's always good to have fellow dudes on your friends list. Got a lot of awesome ladies on my list, but having some guys, especially those in similar positions as you, can be good.

    I was at 354lbs at my highest.
    311 was what my last weigh-in came up as.
    Im a very agile and mobile big-man. I take pride in that!

    All,
    Feel free to send me a FR mentioning this thread. I'm nearly at goal, but this is a journey not a destination.

    It all depends...do you like long walks on the beach, looking at the stars, cuddling, and most important of all: open communication?

    Thanks for the adds y'all! Been fighting getting back on track with my weight loss since these past few weeks have not been part of my usual routine. Once I start my summer job tomorrow, I'll be able to start a new routine!

    So what are the reasons you guys have wanted to lose the weight?
