5 Weeks In and Having Some Trouble
So I'm about weeks along in my fitness journey... I'm 6'6" tall. 35. I started at 290. By week 3, I had lost 14 lbs. Week 4 had no weight loss. When I weighed in today, I had gained half a lb.

Looking for More Friends Further Along In...
The title says it all... I have a few friends on the the site, and they are very supportive. I'd like to grow that. Ideally, looking for people who have already lost the weight that they came here to lose and are still powering on. I'm not looking to get crazy, but I enjoy working out, and I could use the advice.
