Congratulations on beginning your journey! I too am 6’3” and started out a little over 270. Began my journey the first week of June and I’m now at 255. That’s also when I started going to the gym. Started out at 3 days a week and now I’m at a 5 day a week split.

My 38” waist clothes are now loose on me. My triglycerides dropped 130 points in 3 months. My blood pressure dropped 20+ points both systolic and diastolic.

For me, it was sodas and chips/snacks. I do still drink a Diet Dew or two a day, but it’s mostly water and zero sugar Powerade (for electrolytes). Almost completely eliminated fast food and eating out as well. Eat mostly beef and chicken and some fish. Also eat white rice and steamed broccoli a lot.
I try to eat roughly 250g of good protein a day.

PSA: I’m not a physician nor am I giving medical advice. Just simply sharing my experience.

Good luck and take it one day at a time. You can do this!

I'm 6'3" and recently topped out at 300. I'm the strongest I've ever been from working the farm but I have to cut weight. Too much time spent working the farm to work out but I've decided to go protein and cut out cokes, been drinking some diet green tea. Any other recommendations?

To the ones on the weight loss journey...congrats! I hover around 280 -290lbs @ 6ft 3in. I just turned 40 a few weeks ago. I really need to lose weight. I would like to get down to 250 again. Other than discipline with your routine...what foods/drinks did you cut out where you immediately saw a change?

Sugar. Just start with that. Forget all the complicated macro calculations. Just cut out or mostly cut out sugar. Lift weights multiple times a week, even if multiple is just twice. Drink a lot of water every day. Shoot for 100 ounces.

Do those 3 things and you'll get most of the way to where you want to go. And it's sustainable, you won't feel like you're super restricting yourself, it's easy to become a person who does those 3 things indefinitely. If it gets too complicated or restrictive, most people won't be able to do it forever.

Any drink that’s sugary will help tremendously
