Are guys allowed in this thread?

I have dieted many times, and each time I lost a lot of weight approx. 40 pounds, then gained 60-80 pounds back each time. So over the years I have gradually grown to my current size... It's really frustrating. I recently started to ct a lot of sugar and bad carb's out of my diet and I lost 20 pounds and I have stopped losing. In High School I was in great shape. As most of us were haha. I was at 215 I am 6'-2" and have a natural big build. Big feet, hands, head etc. so being really skinny (Under 200 as the say I should be) I would look funny. Anyway my maximum weight was up to 365. I am currently down to 345. (well add 5 pounds for all the crazy holiday food I ate, but it will be gone in a week). Anyway my goal is to get to under 250. I have a buddy who works out a lot and he has a friend who is in really good shape and is 6'2" as well he weighs 230, That's where I'd like to be, a great in shape and under 250. My resolution this year is to get back into shape, other than round. haha. Most people are shocked to know how much I weigh they say I "wear it well". Whatever that means. Anyway my goal this year is to make the lifestyle change for good. I have cut soda and alcohol out of my diet. I rarely eat bread and when I do I eat high fiber whole grain breads. Pastas are very rare. I take fiber to help reduce the absorption of any sugars I may eat to help maintain my blood sugar levels. I am not diabetic, but I am trying not to become diabetic, it does run in my family. I recently purchased a stationary bike as walking for exercise is difficult on my ankles this weight.
