I mostly lift. I first learned through youtube videos and continued to learn by watching people good at it in the gym. Sadly around here people find it strange and always stare at me. I have even been called a man but oh well!! I love lifting.

Returning too, after 5 years. I'd like to be back to playing tennis but after gaining 40 pounds in the past five years, I don't even want to be seen on a court. Glad to be back.

Happily single. The last wonderful relationship I was in made me forget my fitness goals got me gaining 20kgs.

I had finished using the gym and was getting ready to get into sauna. One woman asked, "r u a zebra to have so many stripes." She was referring to the stretch marks on my shoulders and upper back. Her friends laughed. Now I cover up all my 'stripes' at all times

How cruel can human beings get. Sorry I had to go through that. That is just so cruel. Go do your thing. Know his insults r a reflection of him, not you.

Wow! Wow wow! This is beyond belief.

Hahaha!!! The simplicity of men!!

I fear having to be dependent on someone else. I've also always somewhat feared never meeting the right person to share my life with (being alone), but I am to terms with this having seen many unhappy marriages.

I have lost only 20 pounds in almost a year of exercising hard and eating back my calories. So I am trying to not do so, to have a deficit. I think our bodies are different so u have to consistently try it one way, and then if it doesn't work, do things differently.

I like such stories... Giving back to the community. I am encouraged. And well done!!!

The way I see it, if you stress out about getting into a body shape he wants, that will pretty much set the tone for your marriage. Your entire marriage will involve you bending backwards to please him. That is not love and that would not be a happy marriage. You are still young, explore, find yourself, and by no means…

You've done an amazing job. Congrats!!

Congratulations pal!! You look great!! I am right behind you.

BUMP!! I wanna know too.

I am overweight. And my answer is I don't know. I have only dated athletic guys to this point, never dated an overweight guy before. I kinda intentionally avoid advances from overweight guys. I think it's really a reflection of how I feel about myself. I do not like the fact that I am overweight, don't think it's an…

Many people on here will tell you how you can't blame her blah blah blah... But as someone who struggles with will power around food, and who has all my life, I know what you mean. The people I live with keep offering me foods that are not good for my weight loss journey, they have never struggled with their weight. Yes,…

Oh, forgot to say, great job!!! 18 pounds in 2 months? Wish my body could do that.

I think this "giving up" point is surpassed when one understands that it is a lifestyle, for a lifetime. When you understand that you have to eat healthily and exercise for the rest of your life, then any bad day or stretch of bad days doesn't make you feel like giving up, because that's not an option. So you're just like,…

Wow, u look great. Great job!! I also love the no trouble zones video.

Well done!! I think our bodies are quite similar. You've given me the motivation I needed to workout today.

This is awesome!!!

Wow!!!! You look amazing!!

THIS!!! Very well said. Yes, the psychology book said 'all people'. And the prof and his book were wrong. I know that now.

Wow!! Well done Brian. You're a huge inspiration. Like MLK said, if you can't fly, run/ if you can't run, walk/ if you can't walk, crawl. You did just that. Congratulations!! No more excuses from me.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Do you live and work with only blind people? It's like night and day. You're doing great!! Congrats!!

I remember reading your story before without the last two sets of pics. It was amazing then and is even more amazing now. Way to go!!! Congratulations!!

He's gotta be a wizard!!

I am 203 yet much bigger than you. I still have a huge tummy and huge hands :(
