    127.4 down. Working on the last 15 to be "shredded" but holy crap does the game get hard. I keep struggling to stay in my calories the past few days so my weight is just sort of stagnant and I'm super hangry lol. All my friends and family say they don't know where I think 15lbs is going to come from, thats how I know I'm almost there and it's time to double down!!! In a couple of months I hope to be extremely lean, then maintain it for six months or so while my skin catches up. Then perhaps a VERY SLOW bulk.

    Also open to more guys on my friends list. Its almost all women, but I didn't do that on purpose lol. I think there just may be a lot more female members here.

    I think the men are more hunter than gatherers, they see a profile they like and just send a Friend Request. The females here are gatherers and throw out a big fishing net by starting 'looking for friend' threads.

    Search "goad" on this site and you can join our Guys On A Diet group. There are plenty of women GOADies. But there's less rah rah you can do it, more practical long term view.

    Hey everyone,

    Been on a proper weight loss journey for about 6 weeks. Like most I've stopped and started countless times but this is my first properly tracking my food. Food has always been thing that's sent me off course so now I'm keeping it all tracked and tallied. Already a stone down but I'm more into losing body fat and getting fitter than purely focusing on weight loss. I'm even documenting it on YouTube to keep myself in check!

    I have been dieting since I was 15. I'm currently 32. That is a long time to be struggling with weight loss. The interesting thing is I did a 23 and me test and I do carry a gene that identifies with holding onto fat leading to overweight. However it is something I know I can overcome. Today I weigh 338. I'm changing my life style to be lower in carbs and sugars. It has worked for me in the past. This time is different because I am truly doing it for myself. To live a longer and happier life.

    Well now, I think this is great. I went to the doc and was told to lose weight....again. I asked "...about how much?" "About a Backstreet Boy." Seriously? I thought maybe the bass in Menudo, but Backstreet Boy? This leads me to here and a journey/lifestyle to lose about 70lbs 315ish to 240ish. We shall see.

    Welcome! I am a guy who has had heart surgery and a potentially great start at fitness and then threw it all away and have to start from scratch, have been coasting at 220 lbs for some months now but am looking to change that, fixing my diet and working out more (at all) is my start, hoping to be down to 180 by Christmas time

    Ok so bad day today, lots of stress and ate my emotions away! Question for you gentlemen(and you two stragglers I guess) what do you do when you want to eat bad? Any tricks or ideas outside of sheer willpower?

    I put the calories in my food diary "just to see" and that's usually enough to scare me off. There is a lot of shame in over eating for me, and I try to remember that. All the problems in life being fat has caused and the life i could have had...
