The dreaded 'moobs'

Something which I always battled with was my 'man boobs'. I could never wear fitted t-shirts because they would become so prominent, and even having lost weight they just never seemed to reduce in size.

The first picture was taken about 3 weeks ago, and since then I have incorporated my own workouts which prove to quite effective. I introduced weight lifting to try and target the area and turned 'rowers' into something which I deem far more intense...and I guess this picture can show the results.

I've never had the courage to post a topless weight comparison picture..but this one I genuinely feel proud enough to post. I notice that my tummy has also toned down a bit too..hallelujah!

    looks like a decent amount of BF % has gone which is shifting from the places you want it to move from

    Good job, results like this can spur you ( and others on )

    Progress provides the most motivation and you've definitely got that.

    I also had man boobs when I was heavier. Lifting weights and cutting the fat has really shrunk them. Now they are just muscle boobs...haha. Keep it up and those fitted shirts will be all you want to wear!

    Accurate!

    I've noticed that since lifting weights, it's been MUCH more effective than cardio, though I suppose the combination of both will have helped. All I want is muscle there hahaha, and thank you! Congrats on your success too!

    Dont underestimate the value of push ups to build chest size. Increased muscle mass in the pec area will flatten out moobs and give you the chest you want. Use push up stands to get the deep burns.

    Good work!, looks like you've lost equally in the chest and stomach area which is great!.

    My moobs went early on but the "beer belly" is being quite stubborn!.

    Thank you! I couldn't see any loss on my stomach until I saw this comparison. My moobs were the hardest part to loose weight from. My family mentioned weight loss can go from head to toe, and that's the process that seems to be happening. My face, then shoulders, then chest and now my pecs...stomach is 'under construction' so to speak. :laugh:
