Big Men

Im 42, 6"1 + was 287 lbs last Feb. now 204 lbs.

I love reading success stories and there are many here
Congrats to all of you and to those whom have posted pics you look awesome!! Ty for posting!!

I'm about 6'3 and lost 84lb total.

I started this journey new years at 280.8 and I'm about 6' 1..as of last wed I'm down to 236.4. I'm close to posting pictures probably at 230 I will bring 50 pounds down.

Bigger Men know how to Love better!!!! Keep up the great work guys!!!

Quite agree there..love me some bigger men..my hubby a little tubby now..love it, wish he was a bit healthier, but like the big guys!

I started 285 and now I'm about 239. The motivation comes from deep within, it's not something you can jump out of bed and say "hey, I wanna lose weight". You gotta plan and get your head focused, set small goals and every time you accomplish it give yourself a nice meal. Good luck man!

This is so true! Must prepare both mentally and physically..have the food chopped and ready to go in the fridge, so you don't end up at a (gasp) vending machine, or eating a high sodium meal out! Great advice!! You are going fantastic as well! Kudo's for you!:happy:

Hi, 5'8, was 392lb about 4 months ago, now 330lb. Still a way to go, will keep at it.

31 yr old. 6'3, large frame. I always been told I carry it well.

470-480 lbs. in this pic


most recent pic. 319 lbs. here


the weight loss has slowed down a bit but I am in no rush. I don't have a set goal weight on the scale I am shooting for. I am going by how I look and feel. Probably somewhere in the 200-220 lbs. range.

Golly..you are quite the sight! Wonderful! i commend you!

Keep up the great work!

In Him,
Nic..friend? Read profile first, pls

I've asked the same question. I've found that this is primarily a womens site. I like it for the food tracker. It's the best one I've found

There are plenty of guy's here..we women notice, 'cuz anytime we have a thread about..boobies or whatever, they all comment on our thread! We are great motivator's and can help w/diet, etc too..don't count us out! Friend us!
In Christ, Nic

6'5'' Tall and 287lb when I started this journey. I would really like to get down to 200-210lb and then start toning everything up. I'm still 6'5'' tall :blushing: but so far I've lost 35lb. :bigsmile:

Nearly halfway there and I'm addicted to this site. I love all the girly posts. There's so many great stories and some of the after pics are smoking hot. (Typical Guy)

I started out at 265 got down to 200 in about a year.

Good luck stick with the goals.

Cheers
Jim

Started this journey @ 560 lbs. in May 2009 unable to walk from one room to the other without the aide of a rolling computer chair. 34 months later am now 255 lbs. (down 305 lbs.) I was always the big kid in school (6 grade I tipped the scales at 230 lbs.) but I used it to my advantage in sports (Football- played offensive and defensive line, and tight end) never possessed the height I wanted (6 ft. 1 in.) but never let that slow me down on the gridiron... Life just got to hard and food always seemed to fill the void but I changed all that... No one or nothing will ever control my destiny but myself!! I have only myself to answer to (well ok better through the wife in there lol I wanna wake up in the morning hehehehe) and I will stay in control from here on out.... I have some work left to due, have skin surgery in June (surgeon thinks close to 25 lbs. of skin removal) and then total knee replacements at years end (grade 3 osteoarthritis both knee's, torn meniscus both knee's and torn ACL in my left knee.) I am shooting for 220 lbs. (after surgery) and at that point I will begin my official training (no my weightloss mode) building lean muscle, less cardio, more protein shakes, etc... Weightloss has been my focus for 34 months, I do strength train 3 days a week (all low weight, high rep). Add me if you would like, us big guys need to stick together...... :-)

Started out at about 280, not down to 250 but still have a long way to go! I'm 6'2".
