Awesome change. Wish I could find a way to get comfortable lifting so as I lose weight I gain muscle to reduce the loose skin I know I will have.

I am always willing to take on new friends.

New Year means room for New Friends

Never afraid to have more help.

Well reading thru the post here and few messages I have received I will start out walking. Work my way down to 350-375 before I start to lift. Just this way I can condition my body back to moving again and to get my heart also used to it again. Each day and each step will be another step in the right direction. Thanks for…

Tips for getting started at the gym? I really struggle with this. I am intimidated by of how to start lifting weights. I am a lot bigger then you were when you started but seeing this gives me some hope. I know this is a long process and there are many bumps along the way. Right now the big bump is to just start moving.…

33 here. I am only quarter way thru my weight loss plan so I will be here a while if anyone wants to add me. Going on a 100 day straight logged.

Anyone can add me. I am willing to help motivate others and looking for people to motivate me.

I love any bacon that makes it to my lips. Lately it has been Black Pepper Thick Applewood smoked from a local meat counter. I know they have chocolate covered bacon but I would love to find Salted-Caramel coated Bacon

Cottage cheese and a pickle

33 here with a long journy ahead. Can use any support anyone would like to send my way.

When I started to count my calories this is when I felt I needed something to eat. Just about everyday at 3:00 I have a cup of cottage, pickle or Greek Yogurt and 5 Whole Grain Crackers. This does a great job of holding me over til dinner.

This is not a spirnt but a marathon. Losing 24 in two months is a 3lb per week average. I personally think that is awesome progress. I think we all go through that feeling of wanting people to notice. The only thing is are you doing this for people to notice or are you doing for your personal health. I have myself thinking…

I hope my keyboard can handle all the drool that has dripped into it.

I personally find girls with glass as a Turn-On. I do not know why it is but I love a woman wearing glasses. And if they look geeky in them it is even more of a Turn-On. I guess to each their own little quirks.

My wife and I use cheese every day. Mostly Cheddar which is 110 calories and ounce and we both easily find enough room for 2 oz on a regular basis. It really is not that bad at all plus it has protien and fat that make me feel fuller.

One word BACON AND MORE BACON

I seem to reply regulary to my friends on my list but hardly get any back. I am a 33 year old male with 200 lbs to lose. But I will beat this one day at a time. Time for me to control my life not my life to control me.

33 years old and desk job. Since I have an hour lunch I have started to walk two miles everyday on my lunch hour. I would love to add anyone that wants to help keep me motivated.

I just about want to cry reading this. I am starting out at 428 and I am down to 414 in the past month. I know that feeling and I do all my current shopping at the Casual Male XL. There is nothing Casual about the Casual Male. I think I am going to print out your story and have it to read when I feel discourage and need to…

Mine is only small but on my Lunch hour I walk two miles and normally it takes between 39 to 40 minutes but the last two days I have been under 39 Minutes 38:45 and 38:06. I was so closte to breaking 38 mins. yesterday when I didn't even feel like doing my walk. I am jelious of those who can run but at 414 lbs I well I am…

My favorite snack is a cup of cottage cheese and a pickle. The cottage cheese has a great amount of protien for the amount of calories. Pickles have a very low calorie count but does have a lot of sodium. But I drink a lot of water all day long so I am not as worried about the sodium. This usaully kills hunger for about…

Awesome Story. It is reading post like this that give me hope and inspiration to move foreward in improving my health. If you can do it there should be no reason I can not. I am a work in progress and just need to keep moving. Congrats on a Job well done.

Bump for later. There is a lot of info here and a lot to digest.

You are the success I hope to be. Congrats. I would any helpful tips you have as I am just starting out on my journey.

I have the same problem. I don't know where to start with strenght trainning. I currently got myself walking everyother day, but it would be good to get some Muscle building fat burning exercise in.

I also need to lose over 200 lbs myself. I am looking to better my life for my future and my wife. Let's all work together to improve our health.
