I just thought I'd take a minute and say hi. I'm a male, 30-ish, and on a weight-loss program.

In March 2008 I topped out at 225 lbs. In ten years I put on 95 lbs. of fat. Soda pop, fast food, and junk food were the culprits. Actually, my own behavior was the culprit, the poor diet and lack of exercise were just the means to the end result of obesity.

Four months into my weight-loss program I have lost about 33 lbs., half-way to my goal of weighing 160 lbs. My method is the tried-and-true way of losing weight: sensible eating and regular exercise.

Being fat is no fun. You look like crap and you feel like it as well. I signed up to share experiences with others in the same situation as me. Perhaps I can learn a thing or two or convey some of my knowledge to others. Also, I think we can end up motivating each other to reach our goals and not give up before we meet the finish line.

Good luck to you all in the battle of the bulge!

Hello I'm new as well

I know how you feel as far as ones image goes. For once I just want to fit into those cloths and know I look good in them. Instead of trying to hide my body I want to show it off. Soon enough though. You seem to have an excellent mindset and determination. I will keep checking back to see how your doing. Take care hun and best of luck. You'll do well :)

I have no desire to show off my body. But I would really like to be able to walk around without a shirt again. It's summer time and a brisk walk makes me all hot and sweaty. Often I think about taking the shirt off, but I don't dare do it. I've still got a belly and plenty of fat to hide. ;)

Even when I get nice and trim, I won't be parading around any clothing optional beaches. But I will go to the beach and take my shirt off!

As for hiding my body, yeah, I do that, too. Baggy clothes are my best friends. When I go out in public I usually where a pair of Dockers with a shirt and a dress shirt as an overshirt to cover my belly. I don't tuck in the undershirt because that would expose my belly hanging over the waistband.

I don't want to hide, but I don't want to be an exhibitionist, either. :D
