Default New and not sure where to post

Hi everyone. Im Joe. a 47 yr old truck driver. I just came from my dr and see that my weight has gotten to 294lbs. I am to the point that I cant keep packing on this weight and I have no idea where to start and how to diet. I figured I would try a forum where others who are dieting can give me some advice and insight on what I need to do I feel as if im slowly killing myself and I don't want that to happen. I have very high blood pressure and I think if I can get my weight down then that would help lower my bp. Im not sure if this is for just women but if it is im sorry for intruding. But I do need any help I can get.. thanks.

I've only been here for about 2 weeks, but this forum is a great place to get support (for both men and women )

Welcome Joe! We have a good friend who is a truck driver and is really starting to suffer from the effects of his weight. I know it has to be hard on the folks in this profession since you sit for extended periods and have limitations on where you're able to eat. I'm sure you'll get a lot of ideas here though. Some people are on diets with very specific plans - and there are some who are devising our own plan and making it work. Whatever you decide on IMO it needs to be something you can sustain and something that works for your lifestyle and your food preferences.

There are a few men here - and probably more than I even realize. While surfing around the site the other day, I came across an area that I didn't even know was here! It's called The Men's Corner http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/mens-corner-237/ You don't need to feel limited to posting there though! Surf around, read some threads and jump in when something grabs your interest.

Congrats on getting started on a new, healthy and LONG life!
