Hello everyone ... :seeya:

I am new here -- I never even lurked here before! LOL

Long story very short ... I'm a big guy (6'5" at 350lbs) and I need to some serious weight reduction!! :)

The good news I am pretty healthy minus the weight. BP & Cholesterol all are in check. So I guess I need to drop the weight before it's too late because I know it can lead to those things and other serious problems!! I'm 28 years old and I am a purchase manager for a race team so I don't get much of a workout at work, but I have two boys at home that will wear me out (16 mths & 6 yr old). My last serious weight loss program I did led me to 275lbs but I hit a plateau and never recovered and ballooned to the heavier weight I am at now. My main focus is to live right for my kids!! I want to be a good example of how to live and eat right!!! Also it wouldn't hurt to be able to play with my kids more as they grow up!!! Anyways, I used to be on a forum some years ago that helped me then, but it no longer there - massmonsters.com. Of course then I was all about weight training -- now I am more focused in just cutting out the pounds!!

I look forward to reading & posting on here!!! Thanks for having me!!!!!

:cheers2:
 
Hey Mike,
Welcome to the site and good luck with your journey. I started at 350 as well, although i was a lot shorter than you.

This is a great place to help you stay motivated. My daughter was one of the reasons I started as well. I have added a second child and yes, they keep me very active.

I assume you work for Hendrick? It must be cool working for them. I'd love to have that type of job.

Stick around and let us know how everything is going with your weightloss.

Yup - Hendrick! Yeah it is cool to see how these things work for the behind the scenes.

Thanks Matt for the welcome!! Hopefully I can finally beat this thing like I did cigarettes 4 or 5 years ago. Look forward to some great advice from ya!!

Always wondered this. Are you still a true fan of NASCAR or do you look at it differently since you are in the business. I sit hear and say wow must be cool to work there but I dont have to get up M-F and work there.

Also, what's your approach to losing the weight? What are you eating each day?

Congrats on kicking the cigs. Was it once Winston left the sport?
