ok this is my first post so be kind. Wink

heres my story. i was always the skinny guy up until i was about 25 then i got married. so until i was 34 i was gaining weight. which made me a robust 189 lbs. im 5' 9" so needless to say i was chunky. now the first picture was from xmas 2006. i was that weight until april 2007 then the divorce came. i lost 43 pound in a month and a half. no lie. i wasnt expecting it. i joined a gym the first week in july and am currently still going. i have lost an additional 3 pounds thanks to a good diet and working out. i decided i was going to turn this into a positve situation. now ive been reading everything i can get my hands about diet, weight lifting, and such. so i would have to say, which ive read here numerous time, that i contribute my new body to mostly diet. its about 99% clean. the second pic was taken august 7 2007. i have a few questions but ill post them in the appropriate forums. i would just like to say thanks for the great info here. one more thing, i know i still have some work to do but for only working out for a month and a half im happy with the results so far.

Definitely agree, the weight was lost in a bad way, but you got a handle on it now, and have really begun to make good some well meant intentions, so yes I think you've got what it takes, to carry on doing it right, and get what you're after.

It's never easy whatever a persons start point or goals, but it doesn't have to be punishing, or emotionally and mentally painful, it can feel like an experience you deserve to go through, because you want to, not because you're trying to find some kind of redemption, and you don't deserve to enjoy the ride.

So keep working it, the way you now know how, and you'll be a.o.k fella.

Respect Cool

Wow you can really see the difference 1 month made.
It's so cool that you turned such a negative situation into a positive. I'd just love to know how you made it through and kept the muscle. During my divorce, I went down to a scrawny 103 lbs, just a bag of bones at that time.
Ya look awesome dude
