Hello ladies,

I'm sort of new here. I've been lurking the forums for about a month and a half, since I started, so I'm quite acquainted with most of the active posters. I'm a terrible poster, though, and will most likely keep lurking for the better part of my stay here.

So... Basically I'm not following any specific diet, just cutting down on portion sizes, skipping pretty much all alcohol and exercising daily (3 days resistance training and 4 days cardio) and it appears to be working quite well. Oh, and I'm allowing myself to eat out once a week, should I want to. There wasn't any specific reason for starting, I didn't even realize how close I was to 300 before I stepped on the scales after my first day of this. I think my real reason may be less than noble; I think I'm only doing this to look good (screw health, right?).

Also, yay for more men!

Welcome!!
Our weights are very close. Seems like you are going well with your weightloss. At the moment I'm doing weight watchers.

Thank you on both accounts!

You're not doing bad at all yourself, soon got your first 5 pounds off! Awesome! I have never done WW, but isn't it almost what I'm doing plus counting calories in the form of points (and a set maximum amount of points allowed per day/week)?

*waves* welcome ! Good luck on your diet plan, its pretty much the same one i fallow. you can do this just stick with it and before you know it you'll be at your goal weight !
