Hey everyone my name is Rob and i am new here i looked around a bit before i joined and liked what i saw so here i am lol. I currently weigh over 400lbs i haven't gotten to use a scale that will weigh over 400 so im not exact on a number yet, i have more reasons to lose it than i can count on one hand. I have always been big not just heavy but built big i am 6ft4 tall and wide. my main reason for wanting to lose the extra weight is because in 2006 my older brother lost his life to a heart attack he was only 29 years old, at the time i was only 17 it had a huge impact on my life i loved my brother very much he and i were very alike and even built the same witch brings me to my ordeal, I am 22 years old and on the road to a pine box so i am stepping up and want to get in better shape i know i will never be "skinny" i am not built that way but i am tired of waking up and seeing the Dunlop gut in the mirror :).

Sorry for the ramblings but that is my reason for coming here and i hope to get good encouragement from yall :)


Cheers R.
 
Hi Rob, Welcome to WLF. Sorry to hear about your brother. Its great that you want to become healthy and pretty much start a new life. I am new here as well, I have read a lot of these posts and I know there are a lot of people here that will encourage and motivate you. Just remember count your calories. That plays a big part in losing weight. Set short term Doable goals for yourself and reward yourself when you achieve those goals. Its funny cause I lived in Yakima for a short time. but I have lived all around Washington. Be sure to keep us updated on your progress. starting an online diary on this site is a great idea.
 
Thankyou :) I am going to start on counting calories today and head out to find a scale so i can get a starting weight my first goal is to get under 400 lol. From there i would like to go 350 then 300 and so on. The ideal weight i would like to reach is 225 being as i am a big guy anyways this is about what a friend of mine with a similar build weighs and he has no gut and is pretty well in shape. I welcome tips from anyone that has been in my position.

Cheers R.
 
I don't really know a lot of tips and tricks. When i was in high school i was taking weight training, watching how many calories i took in, how many calories i burned. and i would take grapefruit pills. I would also walk everyday after dinner for about 20min. In a course of 6 months i lost 70lbs. I felt great. then I graduated and then moved to Nevada. Then everything just went down the drain. When I was living in the small town it was a treat to have fast food maybe 2 times a month. Now living in Nevada i'm eating fast food about 5 times a week. :banghead: and have managed to put the weight back on. So I have decided to start another weight loss journey.

The only thing I know is if you don't have access to a gym. Walk and watch your calories. you can find online calorie calculators that will tell you the max amount of calories to consume a day in order to lose weight. Its all about baby steps.

Set yourself a goal and post it everywhere you can.

Hey nice to meet you too. Today went great no over eating wrote down my calorie intake for the day but still no luck on a scale i think i might drop by one of the local gyms should be one there i can use. plan to start walking everyday, i have already started doing situps in the evening after dinner. I will get a picture of myself currently up here asap and will post up every month so you can see it come off.




Cheers R.

Hey


Nice one dude.


Don't worry about weighing yourself everyday... do it say every sunday. I used to do the same thing and wonder why the weight wasn't comming off.


Keep us posted.
