    Thanks for sharing with us! Such a motivational story filled with great advice. I also like the intermittent fasting and have found most success using that method!

    It's funny that you ask that, because yes, actually I did go through an ugly duckling stage actually (granted I still consider myself in just a later phase of transition out of ugly duckling phase still haha). My wife even told me that I needed to get some muscle because she wasn't a fan of "skinny fat" (in a really nice way of course) lol! That was all the motivation I needed to be like, ok weight lifting it is! I found a bodybuilding.com transformation challenge to use as a tool to keep me motivated, and off I went!

    It was right before I started weight lifting in January after I had lost the initial first 88lbs. I was what you might hear other people talking about on the forums "skinny fat" where I lost a good portion of the fat, and was considered skinny by most when looking at me clothed, but as soon as the shirt came off, you knew immediately that I have no muscle tone at all and was just a big bag of skin and bones. I didn't include these in the original post because the post was already so dang long, I didn't want to make it any longer, but I don't mind posting these after the fact. :smile:

    Never stop wanting more for yourself, but don't let it consume you to where it becomes a negative thing and is a detriment to your progress! It all comes in due time. I spent over a dozen years screwing up my health, and I've repaired a good portion of that damage in a years time. When you look at it like that and make comparisons like that, it makes 1 year seem like a mere blink and hardly any effort at all. :happy:


    January 2014 the week before starting to lift.
