Well hi everyone. I am Lee a 37 year old single male from the UK. I am determined to loose three stone over the next 98 days, Started at 100 and 2 days in. I am currently 18 1/2 stone, 6ft and a heavy smoker and drinker.

Just a bit about how i ended up here for anyone who is interested.

Until i got married at 25 i was a total fitness fanatic. Swam 2 miles every day or did two advanced aerobic sessions. I ate healthily although in large quantities and looked (although i say it myself) very good. I was burning up the calories with my excersise routine. I had women coming up to me when i went out. The picture is of me at 24 and is where i want to be again.

Once i got married (to a then stunningly attractive blond) the wife started moaning about me going out in the evenings and over time my excersise fizzled out until i never did anything. I ballooned to 21 1/2 stone by the age of twenty eight when my son was born. Just got the pictures out and boy was i Huge. I stayed like that for three years She found someone else and left me.

I Stupidly started smoking when i was really depressed and have been smoking since but trying hard to give up. I lost six stone over four months and was starting to get female attention again and had a string of new girlfriends. As Mc Donalds say i was Loving it. Was then about 33.

It didn't last long till i was back up to 18 stone and i have been there since and all the female attention has gone again and i am still single.

That brings us to here. I have met a girl, she is great, Way out of my league at the moment in terms of appearence but we just get on so well. She is what i would say a friend at the moment and she knows how much i want to change back to being a healthy bloke again and is really encouraging me.

Now i know that it will probably not be her but i would really like to end up with a nice looking girl with a great personality and there is no reason why i can't except my own self immage. I think this girl is interested in me but i would not want to be the "fat bloke with the fit girl" been there done it and it doesn't work.

So here is my motivation and plan, Loose weight, Get fit, Try new things, Meet new people, meet a new partner and enjoy life together.

My only obstacle is my selfwill and belief.

Thanks for reading this far and sorry if the post appears to be all about appearence but lets be honest, the bigest motivation for most people to loose weight is to look good to attract or keep a partner.

Sorry if i have rambled

heya and welcome! yea i do agree with u about the appearance part.. im sure part of everyone's reason for losing weight is to look better, and to be free of the stigma against fat people.. society is cruel, and it's been made worse with the trend to look stick-thin(for girls) these days.. great to hear that u have a supportive friend.. all the best to u! =)
 
When I was in my thirties my motivation was similar to yours. After the babe factor did not kick in as I anticipated (I actually got more action when I was fat), I let some adverse circumstances kick me back into an unhealthy lifestyle.

Now I find myself in my forties and doing it all for entirely different reasons. Pure terror! I have eaten, drank, and smoked myself into a corner from which I pray there is still time to escape. If I happen to get better looking and pick up a hot babe along the way, I will not complain, but my motivation these days is to simply stay alive.

Good luck on your quest! If you stay on track and weather out the rough times, perhaps you can find yourself on down the road in a more comfortable frame of mind and body.
