Chubby at age 23 (gained a lot of weight after my GF had our son):

Got my **** together and lost the weight using mainly MFP (age 26):

Now I am working on gaining more muscle. Using MFP for that too.

    Can I ask what you did. My other half is looking into building muscle and finding it hard knowing what to do, he put a lot of chubb on when I was pregnant too haha!

    Any advice would be great :smile:

    P.s, you look awesome!!

    Sure. I write about my progress here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/1c21tv/updated_progress_chubby_dadmode_to_relatively/

    The short version is:
    -Did crossfit/messed around a lot in the gym from age 14-20. Got decently strong but with no dietary control I gained a nice bit of fat and had sub-optimal muscle gains.
    -Has a kid and got a job with tonnes of overtime and working on a professional degree at age 22. Slacked off, kept eating like crap, got chubby.
    -Saw that image of myself in the goggles, wished for better fitness and decided to do something about it.
    -First did 5/3/1 lifting routine, then greyskull lp. I've been doing GSLP for a while now and I think it's great.
    -I lost ~20 pounds just "eating clean" without actually tracking stuff
    -Started using MFP to track things, brought me to a new level of ripped
    -Now I am using MFP to gain mass in a controlled manner

    Definitely take a look at my thread in reddit, or ask me more questions here if you are interested.
