[QUOTE="Matt Leiser, post: 72756, member: 15454"] Welcome. I to am a bigger guy. I topped off a few months ago at 339 carrying the majority of my weight around my waist. As of this last Dr visit I'm down to 306. Like Vince I follow a low carb high fat diet but heavy on vegetation (green leafy kind). Following that diet has helped me re-establish that feeling of hunger and satiety. The first few days are rough but I pretty much have eliminated my cravings for sugar. I am just one of those people that does not handle carbohydrates well. As for workouts, my knees are shot and my back is bad. I have found working with a chiropractor has helped me regain most of my movement. I keep to lifting weights, walking and swimming. Running and biking are out as I just don't have the range of motion and my joints can't take the pounding. I dont believe that trt is the only factor for weight loss. It is just one of many factors for me that I needed to correct (insulin resistance, vit. D deficiency, low t, high E, low DHEA). I have been on trt for over two years and it wasn't until I started reading on this forum a few months ago did I realize that I may have been normalized but not optimized. I am working toward that now. If you have any labs please post them. These guys are excellent at picking apart labs and pointing you in the right direction for possible discussions with your dr around a whole array of possible issues outside of low t (I.e. metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, thyroid issues, electrolyte imbalance, adrenal fatigue etc...). I wish you the best of luck. [/QUOTE]
