Glad to see this thread revived. st33lr4t, it might be of some help to know that some people don't require the support of others, but it often makes it easier to start something and stick with it. Frankly, the "getting fat" part is a hell of a lot easier to accomplish than the "trimming" down part. Inactivity, if that's the culprit, is less demanding than activity.
And with that, CityOfAngels and braisler, I support you and will expect similar support on my quest to lose 20 more lbs (I've already lost 10 since my doctor said, "Hmm.. 206, eh?").
My first strategy (well, my second, after realising that I had to make the lifestyle change st33lr4t was referring to) was to join WeightWatchers (with my father in law, who's been on WW before with good results) to get some nutritional guidance and a few tips. So far, actually, it's been a pretty good ride, and I've lost some weight without starving myself or cutting out all the carbs - just making healthy choices and being aware of serving sizes. Someone on TFP said, "that's like paying somone to count your calories", and while that's mostly true, I support doing anything in your power to achieve your long-term goals. So there's me. Good luck, everyone.
