I'm glad fluffpop chimed in with 7-9#, as I am sort of in the same category. Throughout my childhood I was always underweight and skinny as a rail. In high school I was drinking 3 egg chocolate milk shakes every other day in vain attempts to gain weight. At 22 I reached peak physical fitness at 6'3" 155. It sounds really light, but I had a nice, toned body with about 6% body fat (as measured in my college phys fitness class). I'm currently 186 and weaker than I was 5 years ago at 22. I'd like to drop 20# while getting stronger as well.

I'd be up for this sort of thing. I'm 6'4" and about 280lbs. Don't know how much I'd like to lose, but getting rid of the fat to expose the beautiful muscle that lies beneath would be a start.

So, yeah, let's get this going. I need encouragement!

I've been doing this since last September (almost a year, woohoo!). Good luck to all those out there, remember to keep the dieting sane. Eat well, don't starve yourself. I went from ~210 lbs (5'11") to around my current 160, which is basically my goal.
At first I only worked out and then I started changing my diet, once I limited myself to 1800-2000 cals a day, I started losing weight quickly. Still eating 1800 cals a day and maintaining well and not hungry. Feels very good -- I can finally do pull up and push ups and all that crap. DO IT, good luck!

42 6'2"...guessing about 270 lb.

About this time last year I bought a gym membership, starting shopping at health stores, eating right and exercising daily. Big improvement.

Then came Christmas, starting visiting friends and hosting relatives, all of whom smoke. So I decided to do the smart thing and start smoking again.

Bye gym. Bye Trader Joe's. Hello lost pounds; where have you been these 6 months?

Have been looking for an opportune moment to get back on the horse.

Should be a sweetener for anyone having to quit smoking at the same time. (No way I can work out while smoking, though I know some do).

I was kind of a unique situation that made it a little easier on me to shed it. I had a serious illness that left me bedridden 90% of 4 years. Previous to that I had always been an athlete and never above 215. Once I got better the first 50 came off from just becoming active again. The rest has been a struggle, but I was also still off work on a medical leave for a long time so I could totally spend myself working out without having to conserve energy for normal life things like work.
You look good dids and congrats.You kind of have a fuller face like me which means that people dont notice how much you have lost until its substansial. I had alrady lost like 70 lbs without hardly a comment until I hit a certain point where it seemed like everyone made a comment about it. It was the first time in a long time that I didnt completely dread going shopping. When I get the last 7-10 off I will try to find a before picture and post both. At my heaviest I was avoiding the camera hard but I am sure someone has a Christmas photo or something.
