    Hi, I am going from 217 to 168 (that's the positive plan!) I have been on about 25 days and lost 5lbs so far with a weigh-in tomorrow. I am ex-services and a good buddy who appreciates some mutual support and I don't mind being told the truth when I stray!.Any guy feel free to add me.
    Thanks,
    S.

    I am 6'1'' and 252 lbs. I started at the end of May and have lost about 30 lbs. I have changed my diet and I think that is pretty good now, but what I need help with is my workout program. Currently, all I do is run, but I will have a gym in a couple of weeks and want to know what I should do.
    Anyone add me for advice.

    Feel free. I'm naturally a smaller framed guy, but I have gone through quite a transformation. I eat and breathe fitness, despite being a desk junky IT nerd. Willing and excited to help.

    Welcome to MFP! Accountability is what this site is based on! I joined a over a month ago and have found the mere act of writing stuff down is a strong motivator, but it really does help to have some friends on here who are going through the same stuff. Feel free to add me and best of luck with your goals!

    Just joined up to MFP 2 days ago. Been going religiously to the gym for past 6 weeks and not lost any weight. Feel better and been doing body pump twice a week so thinking (hoping) being converting fat to muscle. Anyway logging on MFP now and keen to see how other similar males getting on. Am 6"3 and looking at losing 33lbs to get me down to a lean and mean 195lbs (sorry we use kg's so a bit of guess work.)

    Simlar boat here. I'm a bit shorter, between 5 7 and 58. I want to get all the way back down to 175.
    275 a couple weeks before I started here, then when I started here I was at 271. I work a desk job so that's not much help either.

    I stopped smoking about 6 yrs ago, and started gaining, then I royally screwed up my knee about 4 yrs ago - completely ruptured patellar tendon - the one that goes over your kneecap connecting your quads to your lower leg. This is the "leg extension" tendon. That really sent my weight skyrocketing. The added weight made my knee hurt more, which made me exercise less, which made my weith go up, ..... I started walking at lunchtime and that seems to be helping a bit. I feel less winded already.


    Most days I hit my targets, but every now and then I splurge. I am down from where I started but need to stay on top of it.

    Oh, and I'm a beer judge. That doesn't help either, but somebody has to do it. (At least now I know to take account for it.)
