Welcome. Looks like we are in a very similar boat. I'm 6'4" and currently right where you are weight-wise (though I started at a much higher weight) and am looking to get down to the 230-235 lbs. range myself. Feel free to add me as a friend - always good to have some more support from people on a similar journey.0

Definetly not many men on here, but then again, weight loss, body issues and image has never been a male dominated topic. You know the saying guys, when you with your partner, they secretly fatten you up to take you off the market!
But anyway, i started about 4 week ago, i was 280lb about 4 years ago and ive lost about 67lb since, and 13lb in the last 4 weeks. Feel free if want to add anyway as im 1660 calories a day and trying to work out at the same time.0 -
Definitely not alot of dudes on here.....always lookin for more motivation, and always try to help with motivation with all my friends! Request sent!0

Hi, I'm Mack.
Have been using MFP for close to a couple of months. This is actually my first posting, I think. I'm game to loose about 100 lbs.
1. 1 June 12 , weight 312
2. 25 July 12, weight 284, loss of 27 lbs since 1 Jun.
3. I'm trying low carb, Atkin's, but also keeping in sight of calories & carbs via MFP.
4. Also using FitBit which interfaces with MFP. Trying to get 10,000 steps a day.
I should have actually lost more since 1 June but my girl friend isn't following a plan and at times I fall off the wagon.
I've got to loose this weight because of health impacts and self estteem.
1. Borderline Type 2 Diabetes.
2. Weight causes lower back pain at times.
3. Dealing with Depression off and on.
4. Cardio not what it used to be.
6. Self concious of how I look.
Since just the 27 lbs lost. All areas have improved. I'm on the road to success and will maintain.
Cheers,
Mack0 -

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,

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.0 -
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.0

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!0

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.)0

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.)0
