Subject: Desperate for help and encouragement

I am a 40 year old guy and I need to lose weight. I am 6'4" and 330 pounds. I have maintained at 300-350 for the past 15 years but I need to lose the weight. My mother has diabetes and my father has had heart problems. I am afraid that I have really screwed up by not taking better care of myself and I need to lose weight. I am not a candidate for surgery. Is this a place where I can get help and encouragement from others?

Of course you can get help and encouragement here!! I know sometimes it's hard for guys cause they're not used to the whole idea of talking things out, and especially talking about weight. We are all in the same boat here no matter what our sex, so feel free to come to us anytime you need some extra help.

I've been carrying around my extra weight for about 10 years and one of my main motivations like you is seeing the health problems my parents have suffered as a result of being overweight and how it's affected their quality of life. I want it to be different for me, and I have to work hard now to make changes so that I'll be able to really enjoy my life and do all the things I want to do.

Losing weight in order to become healthier is a noble and achievable goal, and we will be here to help whenever you need it. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress and what you are doing to become healthy.
