Don't feel lonely.. I'm 6'2" and weigh in at 270.. I have plenty of spare tire.. I gave up on trying to get to a lesser weight.. I tried for years back in the 90's but no matter what I did my body would adjust metabolism and return me to the 250-270 range.

It came to a head when I went extreme trying to lose weight and managed to get down to 180 by exercising like mad and eating nothing but 1 small meal a day. Even at that level my weight went back up to 250 over the course of a couple of months and at that point I started passing out because I wasn't taking in enough food to support a 250 pound frame.

Whether I eat nothing and exercise a ton, or eat everything in site and sit in my recliner, I stay at and around the 250 mark.. So I just gave up and eat what I want. I still exercise a bit, but I don't go overboard.
