A few starting facts, im 21 years of age, im 6'6" and 312 pounds. Back in Highschool i was only a few inches shorter but was 214 pounds before weightlifting for football. Over the next year i jumped to about 290 and through college gained the rest. Im one of those typical stories about being hyped up and motivated for the first month or so, but after that have a hard time continuing what im doing. After reading these forums for the past few days i decided it was well worth a try to see as other people are progressing that i should try harder then i had before. Weightlifting was never the problem, but Cardio and Dieting have always been my downfall. I hope to get to know people on here and eventually share our success stories with others. I'll be around for a while now and pics will be coming up soon. This seems like a great place full of very supporting people!

Hi Jeff,
Welcome to the WLF
It's good to hear that you've got the weight lifting/strength training aspect down, just know though that nutrition is the most significant element of weightloss.
Find a good caloric range and keep track, don't go too low and you will and CAN see progress

Thankyou all for your support and kind words. I do have a problem though, how do i find a good calorie range? The thing im worried most about is losing the weight while at least somewhat maintaining the muscle. It would be much appreciated if someone could tell me a good way to find a area i should work in for calories. Thankyou!
