Nice. Have fun.

 

damm, your taking it off pretty quick. thats awesome, keep it up. I'm sure the ladies will dig the results.

 

Most of the weight I had gained I again lost, most likely due in part to stress/anxiousness. I've continued dropping the fat and gaining more muscle however, so not all is lost.

Maintaining the diet and exercising isn't hard for me; I work hard enough for that; its the fact that I'm probably not eating as much and the stress that is canceling it out.

On a side note, I think I may be a bit underweight; I stepped onto the scale the other day and went at the shock of how much I'd lost over just a couple weeks.

 

Well, I made a few changes in my diet from feb-april, lost 7lbs. Then I got hardcore about it and made drastic changes and lost most of the weight in may. The weight loss slowed a bit since I'm starting to bulk up some, but should resume since I'm starting to do more cardio.

as for the ladies comment, we'll see this summer. In July, it'll have been 4.5yrs since I've been as trimmed down as I plan to by then. h:

 

As much as I would like to say that it has helped me, I cant. When I was heavier, I never went more than a week without a girl.

It has been almost 4 years since I started lifiting, and coincidently, it has been over 4 years since I have had a serious girlfriend.... I am not saying that this is the same for every situation, but it has been the case with me.

So now I am going to gain some weight back. Most will be in muscle, but some fat also, most people say I look better with my face filled out a little more, but not any more than 15% body fat, I will not allow that.

 

oh, I know being trimmed down is not what'll get me girls. I just am not happy at my current weight and I actually do my best to keep girls away, since I didn't really feel like dating the last few years (girls around here have too many issues h: ) Although, when I was in high school and the year after, I got hit on a decent amount each week :reechy:

I just think me feeling more comfortable and better about myself will let my personality shine more, instead of being the usual reserved person. h:

even now, I notice more attention from girls when I make an effort to smile more

 

Yeah, I agree. I guess since I was fat most of my life, I am still really self conscious about my body. It seems that is all I worry about any more....

 

I feel ya. I was the chubby kid until mid freshman year in high school, then I lost a lot of weight and buffed up, was that way till 19 and half. Then went to hell. Plus, I used to be really shy, so now I'm not so much, but get reserved when placed in new situations.

Even at the end of summer, I won't be "skinny", just not my body style. I'll be stocky, but not look like I need to lose a ton of weight.

 

yeah, see now I am in proportion I think, but with a 30" waist, 41" chest, and 15 1/4" biceps, most people think that I am small....

By the end of the year I would like to have my coveted 17" biceps, maybe around a 32" waist, and a 44" chest.

I think it is doable, just have a lot of hard work in front of me... I just hate losing all the definition I have worked so hard to get...

 

heh, for me, I'll be like 36" waist h: and 54"-56" chest, used to have 19.5" biceps ( :sad: ) but not look overweight, just built bigger.
