Well, Here goes nothing!
So, I’m starting on a new journey, lets see how this goes. I am sick of being fat and unhealthy. I don’t mind being a big guy, I just don’t like not seeing my feet when i look down. I don’t like getting winded while tying my shoes. The problem is, despite all the things i hate about being fat, i can’t seem to get motivated. partially because my partner likes big boys, and i don’t want to become unattractive to him (you guys/gals know what i’m talking about).
A friend has finally called me out on it. He has offered us a rather interesting proposal, that will give my partner and I the motivation we need to help me lose the weight.
My goal is 100 pounds by June 1, 2010.
Way to go, Dennis! Today is the first day of a new, improved you! And you can rely on us to cheer you on…

Hey Dennis, welcome! I hope this site will motivate you and keep you on track as it has so many others, including me. You can expect cheers from us or a kick in the butt when you need it lol.
As for motivation, getting to a weight where you will feel better and are more healthy doesn’t mean you are going to be skinny and I am sure you and your partner want you healthy right? A 100lbs loss at June, I think that that is pushing it, just start with 1lbs at the time and eventhough you have a goal, don’t be too hung up on that. Again welcome and to a healthier you! *cheers*
Welcome to buddyslim!!!! You can certainly do this. Now men tend to lose weight faster then women - I’m sure you can meet your goal by next summer.
Hi, I am new here as well. I started at about 430 pounds in March and I am down to about 300 now. I would like to lose another 100 by July of 2010 as I am traveling then– so we have similar goals. Would be happy to be one of your buddies!
Welcome to BuddySlim. You have made a good start. Keep up on it. I think it isn’t about the weight it is about the health and happiness. You hit it right on the head when you mention not breathing heavy while tying your shoes.
