in Introduce Yourself
I've just gotten back to MFP and I'm looking to rebuild my friend list. I started MFP at 315 or so pounds. I dropped down to 262 before a house fire set me back. All the stress and disruption of my routine caused me to gain 40lbs back. I'm starting fresh again and I would especially like to add some other guys with around 100lbs to lose. I'm a huge diary snooper because I like to get meal ideas from others. Anyway, any new friends would be great.

    Hi, my name is Michael. This is my first time I ever been on any kind of diet. I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago. And of corse the first thing they do is put you on the scale. Its the only time I ever get on one. I`ve been running about 262 lbs. for a couple of years. I`m 5' 10'' tall, Italian. And love to eat like all Italians do. At age 56 I didn't think much about my weight. My wife always tells me she loves my belly. ( I look about 11 months pregnant). The scale in the office is now digital, it raced up to 289.9. I was floored. I knew I had gained some but, nearly 30 lbs. almost brought me to tears. I knew even before seeing my doctor I had to do something to lose some weight. He`s running some blood tests to see everything is in right balance and gave me this plan to keep track of what I was eating. Told me to keep my calories under 2000 a day. Cut out the starches and red meat. Eat more often during the day of things that are good for you. Like salads, fruits, veggies and lean meats and fish. Which I am not a big fan of. But I`ve been sticking to it. I think one of my biggest problems is, using my belly to push away from the table. I feel if you really want something, You`ll do your best to get it. I`m trying my best. I hope to meet others here who are ready to be their best also. We can all can do it, like I say all the time to all my friends," We got this don't worry".

    i started about 1 year ago. i had hit 296.

    within a month of finding this app i knew it would change my lifestyle

    dont look at anything as a diet. diets are meant to end. that was always my first failure. i totally changed how i eat. used to eat fast food 5 times a week, now its been at least 10 months since i had fast food.

    my workouts are more focused and my meals much healthier.

    currently im around 230.

    tomorrow i do a bod pod testing for BF% and tests to determine my BMR etc. i also plan on seeing a nutritionist for even more guidence

    i am not going to lie and say its been easy but if you want to make a change....

    I've struggled with my weight for most of my life, but usually was able to lose weight once I made the effort. Since I turned 30, though, my weight has continued to go up and I haven't been able to lose it. I started last week over 340. I'm hoping to make it count this time. Add me and let's get it done.
