First, let me start by asking if a fat guy can post here?

I started off weighing 390 and joined WW'ers and it worked. But it got to be the same thing over and over again and lost my motivation. I made it to 225 which is a great weight for me, but I went back up to 280 and went back to WW'ers for about a month and lost 10 pounds.

I consider myself active now, I ride my bike whenever I can and like to go for long rides on the weekends, however I need that motivation to stop eating so much. I know how to eat and what to eat, it's just that sometimes as we all know food is my comfort when I get stressed.

So which forum should I post and where to give and receive encouragement. I've heard all the fat jokes and I completely understand what it's like to be fat. I just don't want to go back up in weight, I worked so hard to get where I am.

Thanks,

Brian

Howdy.

I'm also a new fat guy, or so I feel.

I've been trying to gain the willpower to be able to do this on my own, but it remains difficult, thus I thought a support network would at least be a step in the right direction.

Maybe some gentle push in the right direction of eating properly and dusting off the Wii Fit is probably a good start for me.

Hello Brian,
I am new here too but wanted to welcome you. Everyone here is very supportive. I do know that I have seen men on these forum, very smart, kind men, so make yourself at home.
All the sub forums seems helpful and informative so post away!

Ok, thanks. Looks like a great group. See ya in the forums.

Hi Brian, welcome to the community

Congratulations on your success so far! There are forums for loads of areas of weight loss, including a specific weight watchers forum that could be good for you. A lot of people find inspiration in the success forum so you may find that the posts there help to keep you on track, and your story would be a great addition too.

You'll find so much support here, don't let your gender make you feel that you can't post, everyone loves another perspective

Good luck with everything, see you around!
