Grew up east of Cleveland, left Ohio after high school. Still go back there to visit family and friends. One day at a time!

Good thread, stud47! I started one a few weeks ago too, mainly due to the dirth of specific threads about men struggling with weight. I've been an overweight guy most of my life. At 5'9" I was almost 300lbs and had experienced the comorbidities of heart attack, sleep apnea, 2 hip replacements, pre-diabetes, sky high…

Congratulations on your success so far! Thanks for your post, too! It's good that you're tackling your weight issue at a young age - I'm also male and have been overweight most of my life until age 56 (after a heart attack, 2 hip replacements, sky high cholesterol, sleep apnea, etc.. - mostly due to my obesity) - got tired…

One meal, one day at a time. Perhaps make one or two "healthy" choices during the day (e.g., an apple or other piece of fruit instead of a big piece of pie or cake). Eventually the healthier choices will become habit. Also being aware of portion sizes (e.g., for me it was realizing a portion isn't the whole bag/box of some…

Welcome sdanemrtn! I've been at rock bottom and have done a lot of clawing my way back too...one step, one meal at a time. It's quite a journey but well worth the trip! Honesty, lots of support, accountability has helped - it's good to know we're not alone on this quest! Thanks for your honest post, and again, welcome!

grebber1, thank you for your honesty and having the guts to post! I can say that I've been there and done that, and truly get those kind of thoughts/feelings, "stinkin' thinkin'". It seems to be a much too easy thing to slip back into those negative, self-loathing thoughts. I think it's a great accomplishment that you have…

Thank you for starting this thread, Robin, and to all those who have posted! It's wonderful to be able to share with others on this journey! Mine started in January 2011 waking up sick and tired of being over 100 lbs overweight. I was able to lose 105 lbs. Lately I've been complacent (cocky?) and have "found" 20 of my lost…

I was almost 300lbs in 2010, pre-diabetic, had a heart attack, 2 hip replacements, cholesterol through the roof (triglycerides at one point were 1,609!), all this on a 5'9" frame. Was able to lose 105 lbs by being cognizant of portion sizes and "trigger foods" (those that cause me to binge), incorporating mild…

Keep it simple. What works/worked for you in the past....one day, one meal at a time. When I fall "off the wagon," I dust myself off and get back on again, and not beat myself up for an occasional slip. Just some thoughts from a fellow food/fitness traveller.... :)

I find that it helps to just take it one day, one meal at a time. Having a support system is helpful too, whether it's family/friends and/or message boards like this one. I've lost about 105 lbs since 2010...it's amazing how it adds up over time, taking it one day at a time. There will be days when I don't have a "clean…
