Time to ask why Agent Poptart !ivDZDxxQXQ
Why do you want/are /fit/? What is your story Anonymous?

My reason and story: I'm an outgoing person on the outside, but indoors it was hard for me to look at the mirror and I hated myself for not being what I wished. I went to several months of depression, specially because every time I tried to start training I would fail and stop trying.

After I started college and moved out of town into a new town, and I met Melissa... She's my best friend, I wouldn't want otherwise because thanks to her I am what I am now. She inspired me.
One day on my way back home there was this opening of what would be the Wal-mart of my country, I decided to check it out and I saw a pair of dumbbells, a pair of purple dumbbells 2k each, they had a picture of a woman using them on the box, so that restrained me for buying them but I told to myself, "fuck it" and I bought them. I carried them on my hands all the way walking to my home, people would look at me but I didn't care, when I got home I started to do every exercise I could with them.

(cont)
>> Agent Poptart !ivDZDxxQXQ
That's how I started, doing dumbbells exercises with 2k ones every night on my apartment. I didn't gained any muscle due the lack of a real routine and a diet, but after 6 months my body was very toned, and I finally was able to look myself at the mirror and be happy with myself. On college break I went back to my home town, and kept working out with just my 2k purple dumbbells. my family noticed the change on my attitude and my body. When I got back to college and I met Melissa again after 3 months of just phone conversations she looked at me and told me "you look different, I like it"
Since then I decided to really start working out, I bought two dumbbell bars and four 10lbs disks, and I'm doing a real routine to work my entire body with those dumbbells, I'm eating tuna, meat, chicken and drinking at least 1L of milk every day. I look myself at the mirror and I smile, not because everyone notices a change on my body, but because 'I' notice a change on my body, and I couldn't be happier with myself now.
As for Melissa, no we are not dating, and as for why I decided to just do dumbbells exercises is unknown even for me, other kind of work out doesn't appeal me. I don't want to be a bodybuilder I just want to be healthy and have a decent body. And its good to know I'm half the way there. =)

Whats your story?

I was emo before emo was a word, back in the mid-90s in highschool. I'm 28 now. I heard on a news program that exercise could combat depression and began exercising. It worked.

I began by using some old cement-filled plastic weights that were collecting cobwebs in my parents basements. They didn't even have proper handles, so I'd put my fingers through the holes and raise them that way, or stack them on my back and do pushups,etc. Then I went to college and had a real gym.

my story: I'm fucking bored with my life, and constantly wish for an upset in my life, be it aliens invading, abducting me, zombies attacking, nukes going off, ANYTHING. However, even though in hs I was a jock and got just about every varsity letter, I was still fucking bored. Because of my athletic base I transferred well to lifting, and got into it once I got to college, and have gained from 150 @5'10" to 203 @ 6'0", all LBM. Whenever I'm not lifting I'm bored as shit, and because of this imma be a 2d Lt. in the usmc after this next year because i wanna kill some shit and blow something up.

tl;dr I'm fucking bored and exercise is the best waste of time I know. that and I like being a chiseled god who's buff bronze and bitchin

Your story has poor grammar and a disappointing lack of SQUATZ. But it's nice to see someone have physical fitness truly improve their quality of life. My story is I wanted to get bigger so I started working out with my father. I've been working out inconsistently for about 3 years now. I would love to go a year straight, which I have never done. I love looking in the mirror because I am SexSexySexy! I'm fucking beautiful. And the progress just won't stop.

Here's mine:

I'm a 19 year old male. 6'1" and 7 weeks ago I weighed 236 lbs. with 25.4% bodyfat. Yeah. A lot. I have been fat for as long as I can remember and tried excercising and dieting but always failed. Well I have been a /b/tard for years so about two months ago I stummbled over here to /fit/. For whatever reason I never had the inclination to do so until then.

Needles to say I was really motivated and I read a book recommneded by a fellow Anon called Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto and I was sold. I have stuck with that book for 7 weeks and I am now at 18% body fat and weigh 221 pounds. Don't want to brag but I have responded so well to this I have been able to gain LBM and lose fat at virtually the same time. I must have some mesomorphic genes in me lol. Anyways one of my goals was to hook up with this girl who I have had a crush on for literally years (original amirite?) And I have. And I haven't even reached my target bodyfat percentage. And I've hooked up with others too. It's fucking silly. I have learned that girls are WAY easy and if you show confidence in yourself and your appearance they will do whatever you ask them too. Shallow bitches.

Oh and I have also been taking pics every week and once I hit my target I will defineately post on /fit/ with my final results to hopefully inspire some fellow 4chaners. See you soon /fit/!

It took me until just before I hit my 20th birthday to realize some pretty stupid facts about myself:

- I've been fat all my life.
- No woman would ever want to sleep with me in the current state that I am in - and any women that would would be too much of a whale for me to lower my standards to.
-I've never seen the entirety of my penis because it's been enveloped in flab.
-I've never bought clothes that actually fit me.
-Every time I sat on the bus I'd pray someone would sit next to me to prove I wasn't as fat and gross as I am - and they never do.

Pathetic shit like that.

That was five months ago, now, and I've lost 45 pounds so far (from 260 to 215ish). I go to the gym six times a week, three days of cardio and three days of weights. I don't eat as well as I should, but that's okay. I'm working on it.

I'm slowly gaining a better self image, and I'm hoping to buy some clothes that actually fit me around Christmas, in time for summer.

Good luck anons!

I first began reading /fit/ around March, or whenever it first appeared here, and something resonated deep within me as I saw guys lifting and being strong. I realized that I was scrawny and weak, plus a little too effeminate. So, I began going to the local gym and lifting as per Starting Strength and added a jug of milk to my daily diet. It caused a rapid change. I got fit and muscular, gaining about 30 lbs of solid muscle, upto 165 lbs now. Then my girl left me. She said that she liked me skinny and sensitive, that now I acted macho, and that my muscles were too gross. I really miss her. Now love is over, and I'm an emotional wreck. So now I'm eating too much and, even though I still exercise, I'm quickly gaining a powerlifter-esque physique that no woman would ever touch. Thanks, /fit/, you ruined my life, basically.

Pain. That's my motivation and story. After my girlfriend and I broke up, I began studying and working out to put my mind into another place other than the ferocious pain of the aforementioned heartbreak. After a about six months of working out, however, I learned that she got gangbanged, caught chlamydia and fucked three other guys. The pain transformed into rage and I utilized this said rage to build my body.

After showing her a picture of my torso and seeing her seethe with lust, I began to not give a shit about her anymore. Now, I workout for myself and only for myself; no one else. From time to time, she still sees me and actually violates my personal space by giving me kisses on the cheek, squeezing my lower back or even rubbing my stomach. I've made it a point to avoid places she hangs out or where I think she'll hangout, even if I like those areas.

tl;dr -> was in pain from breakup, worked out; was enraged by girl, worked out; work out for myself now.

I'm male, 18 yrs old.

The day was 7th November, 2007, I was vomiting every 20 minutes or so, and I had to the hospital, at first me and the doctors thought I had food poisoning (i didn't) but I only ate junk food and drank soda for more than 2 months. It took 3 days on the needle just to rehabilitate my body, because my stomach couldn't take any food. At that point I weighted 55kg.

November 12th, I went back home. Started eating healthier food mostly vegetables, fruits and yogurt. After a week or so I noticed (obviously) that I feel a lot better, and that I was less depressed then before.

December 1st. I started going to the gym, and felt even better. At that point, I was working out, but I didn't have a proper diet, I usually ate normaly 3 times a day, and drank a whey protein shake after workout.I was going 2 months or so like that. At end of January I weighted 58kgs.

Then I kinda changed my diet and started gaining more mass and by end of July I weighted 65kgs.

Now it's August 18th , and I haven't been in the gym for 8 days, because I'm moving to another city in a week, I lost 1 kg, because I'm don't really have time and money for a proper diet at the moment. As soon as I move I'll start working at home, because I'll be low on money and won't be able to afford a gym, but I'll be able to afford a good diet. I currently look like a weak version of Bruce Lee, thin and muscular, and I'm happy.

End of chapter 1. See you in 6 months.

I was young and dramatic so I decided to stop eating and start working out. I made a point of eating one meal a day, and would work to exhaustion whenever possible.
After appropriately fucking up my metabolism and having my weight shoot up from 119 to 150 in about a month when I was forced to eat, stabbing someone with my hip bone and being stopped by a psychiatrist "just to see how [I'm] doing", I stopped being a dumbass about my body image issues and started taking care of myself.
138 lbs with a ~6 min. mile.

As a kid, I was hyperactive and because of this, I was in excellent shape. I rode by bike everywhere, I would climb everything, I won awards in track and field and I would always be picked first on teams. When highschool came, this all changed.

Even though I was in excellent shape, I was skinny and short. Though I aced all tests during gym class no one took me seriously. I never used my bike, got rejected from sports because of my frame, and ate like shit (always did but i always burnt it off) and eventually got addicted to video games.

After high school I left my hometown to go to toronto. Lived downtown and still ate like shit. I would have junk food 3 times a day. Whenever I visited home, my friends would have a party for myself and of course pictures would be taken sometime during the night. Through out the year I wasn't happy with the way I looked in photos because I had become fat. Because of this, I started walking everywhere I could, do elevated push ups, sit ups and dips at home. When I moved back to my home town I started going all out and I'm still not happy with the way I look, but I'm getting there.

Honestly, I'm a huge post-apocalyptic and disaster movie fan, and really the strongest drive has been for me to ensure my health is such that I could be thrown into the shittiest of situations and be able to a) run from massive dangers b) manipulate my body to save myself from precarious situations (hanging from a cliff, etc) c) have endurance enough to travel by foot for long distances d) know the fundamentals of proper eating without the availability of processed foods.

That's right /fit/, not for ladies, not to recover from being a fatty, not for any other reason than strictly surviving (or upping the odds of survival) in an end of days style situation.

Lived in some shitty islands for up till I had to go to university. I thought, come on. I have a great love for most things non-common and I have the change to go to the capital, instead of staying in this "ass of the world" city. I had 152lbs when leaving my homeland.

First months I was adapting there, but eventually, and after reading /fit/ for about two months and gaining enough knowledge, added to that part of the year in which I get sick of meat and fat foods, and voila, I changed my eating habits.

I've reached my target weight, I'm at 121lbs, about 5 months after and though now I'm pretty okay with showing some more body, there's a lot to do still, which is mostly running and doing some light weight lifting.

My biggest motivation was that even though I have a pretty like-able personality (I can adapt pretty well) and don't have such a bad face, I'm not hot. And though I think I'm good enough to fuck some guy, I'm pretty much a lesbo and was always told that lesbians must be fucking hot.

I agree with most men, though. I've never met a lesbian other than myself (yes, I've been enjoying my roneriness for a while now), but can state that straight women are shallow horny fucks. Build up, feed their ego and voila! They're yours for the taking.

When I was young I was fat and proud of it (stupid M I RIGHT?) I loved to eat and I loved to get fatter until 1 day a friend invited me to do a charity 5k run (it was more of a walk for me) so I did It and I loved it. I started running, exercising and eating healthy (no more junk food or sodas) to get better at the 5k until later on I finished it running with flying colors and after that it's just history running has been a passion and It's what made me a /fit/fag.

I've never really been into sports but I was always friends with people who were on sports teams in school. I was just an average guy and then my sophomore year in high school I took weight training and had a friend that was on the weight lifting team. So he trained me and i increased by bench from like 105 to 155. I was in somewhat good shape but after the semester ended, I stopped lifting weights. For some reason I got into the whole "hardcore" scene my junior year and I was wearing the typical tight pants and was scrawny as fuck. I snapped out of this however by the end of that school year and worked out all summer. I got back up to the previous level I was at but I stopped when school started back up again. I went like 5 or 6 months without working out but then I took weight training again and for some reason this time i really pushed myself to far new heights.

Continued...

I went from weighing between 150 and 155 to about 160 by the time I graduated and I know that's not much because my diet still wasn't that good. It wasn't until the end of the school year when my gf broke up with me and i was horribly depressed that I really pushed myself even beyond. I finally was able to bench my target goal of 225( up from 155) and was way stronger. Over summer I have only done enough training to gain just a few more pounds of muscle since I spent some time out of state but now that I'm back home I've really got my diet in check and I'm ready to pack on the muscle. I feel happy knowing that I can't be picked on or that I can help out smaller kids if some stupid ass jock is picking on them. My confidence has also improved quite a bit.

Even as a kid I did not like to back down when it came to fights. I had my fair share of them when in the school yards, and for the most part I won them (taken less of a beating then the other person). Mind you, I don't go around looking for them, they just seem to find me. This was the same through high school, except people started hitting harder, my body just adjusted to the pain, it learn to take it better. Its not until college where I got into this fight late at night when I was busing home. A guy which was a touch bigger than me approached me and asked me for money, I told him I had none, and shit started to hit the fan. He started to push me around and it quick turn into a fight, he gave me some pretty good hits, but I managed to get him pretty hard in the nose, I think that was then he got pissed and pulled out a knife and pinned me to the wall. I couldn't over power him and he cut my left arm up pretty bad. I was lucky that the bus came at that time, and the guy ran for it. In short, it took me a few months recover, and I guess I didn't want that to happen again so I started to work out (going to the gym). Once I started to build myself up I seem to me that I didn't get into fights anymore, people normally backed down before anything happens, which I guess is a good thing.

I've been a fat kid since elementary school, and this year, I actually decided to do something about it. I was overweight (BMI of 27) and I waa tired of being the fat one in my group and never really taken seriously. I started working out and eating well during the summer, and while I'm still overweight, I have had a lot more members of the opposite sex come up and talk to me, which is something I'm not used to at all. I don't know if it's just the weightloss or the confidence from working out that makes me more accessible, but I definitely want to continue improving myself, for myself; it's an added bonus that others find that attractive.

about 2 months back i began to think about joining the army. After going to the Army careers centre and talking to the advisers and recruiters i decided in wanting to join the Royal Engineers.

A month past of visits and presentations, along with applications needing to be filled and taking a British Army Recruits Battery test i qualified for the position i would like.

So for the past month i have been working out to build myself into shape. I was already healthy to begin with but i didn't have any muscle as all i did before was sit on my arse wasting my days in college learning a subject which would not get me a job.

I can already feel the difference it's had upon my body. I am getting nice bicep muscles, my stomach is becoming a lot more toned and my legs have proven to me that they are indeed very powerful limbs.

All i need to do now is keep this training up outside and at the gym for me to take the initial shock of Phase 1 basic training.

I'm completely fit. I have a very nice amount of muscle to easily defend myself, can run 7+ miles and got some good ole fat lining my body. I'm not a fatass, but I'm not a beach bod fat belly. If I lost my fat, I'd have all the muscles.

But while I'm fit enough to survive in nature (Which is what I consider the ultimate measure of fitness), I'm not socially satisfied of my flab. No matter how many miles I can run or reps I can do or how full of energy I can be, no one will respect the flab.

It is only my last step.

I was fat as shit during high school. Worst off, no one had the balls to tell me, so I thought I was a-okay. After spending a summer working as a bricklayer every day, I got skinny as shit. On my return to school, I received a ton of fucking compliments. I wasn't sure how different I looked, but after comparing pictures, I realized that my asshole friends had probably been making fun of me for the last three years.

That's right /fit/, my health journey was inspired entirely by the rage I felt toward my shitty friends. Two years later, I look god damn good, and try to influence my other friends to get healthy, so they don't get made fun of as well.

I am still not exercising the way I want to, but this is my motivation:

I have a really shitty self-esteem. So bad that I don't ever try to get girls because I think they never want to do anything with me.. which is probably true. Not only that, but I am noticing that I'm balding from the front, and have a stretch mark on the stomach from sitting in front of this damn computer all day.
I do not like the way I am or look at all.. at all. Which is what's given me such shitty confidence, and lack motivation for many things.

Which is why I've decided to do something about it. I want to exercise, have a good looking body, be strong, and have better confidence. I've also heard that it makes you more confused in school, so that's a plus if true.
Not only that, but I want to join either the FBI or CIA one day. I'm starting college next monday. So if I don't train now, I never will. And I can't let myself fail like that.

There's no day like today, right guys? :)

I was always "normal" to stocky size during high school, I played 2 sports every year and was in shape but I didnt know jack shit about nutrition or properly training, I just liked to play with my friends, and when I lifted I did it with my friends, not really caring about progress.

Fast forward a few years after graduating, took time off school due to a chronic pain condition in my jaw that affects me from shoulders up and I got close to xbawks hueg, so I decided if I can't commit myself to school or a job till I'm done with treatment I might aswell add some good pain ontop of my bad pain and get some shit done

5 months later I'm like 30 lbs lighter and lift M/W/F, even though my doctor advises against it

so yea, I did it for my health but moreso in the longrun than now, I can definitely notice a pain increase on the days I do shoulders, chest, or arms that and by that I like someone is digging a icepick in my forehead not just more mussle soreness from lifting

but the pain is weakness leaving my body so its kewl

2 years ago, I used to be a fat akward fuck, had manboobs and chest acne. I took a look in the mirror, I had the body of an old skinny fat guy despite only being 18. 160 pound skinny fat fuck.

I had no confidence, I felt inferior to everyone. Then one day, my old man brings me to a gym and teaches me the ropes, fast forward 2 years later, now. I'm a fuck ripped, bronze motherfuck, who gets stares at the gym and smiles from girls on the street who back then would never give me a second look or act bitchy -

I started working out because I was uncomfortable with my posture. I've always hunched pretty bad all my life and now, at 18, I have shoulders that are essentially half an inch in front of the rest of my body even when standing up straight and my head sits forward too.

Doing bodyweight exercises for about a year not too seriously and my shoulders and posture is still bad, but it's getting better.

At this point, however, I actually enjoy working out, especially anything climbing related, so that is increasingly becoming my main reason.

im started really doing exercises in college but it goes back to highschool....ronery story, lack confindence so i decided to workout, but only could get limited results due to limited time to work out. Then in college i did in part of not wanting to be chubby, and a family history of heart problems.

Then i kept doing it not because of looking good to girl, but because i really like looking at the progress...(kinda like getting a highscore in a game)

for the past few months i haven't done much due to knee injury and wisdon teeth removal, but i'll start exercising heavy daily again soon, cuz i want to be a firefighter.

Continued.

The people I felt inferior to were now considered nothing but dirt in my fingernails and I'd always be the one to win a staredown. I'd sometimes shake with anticipation in the beginning of a fight. Knocking out some lippy motherfucks and staring down preppy white boys and knocking out a few with your buds can be real fun, fucking their girlfriends is even funner.

In order to tell my story appropiately, i have to go back in time, to the days when i was a child.

I had 5 years old, one day, mom sent my brother to buy some tortillas and i, as the typical annoying little kid, wanted to go with him for no reason at all. The "tortilleria" was a couple of blocks away so he would walk his way there. He crossed the street and i ran across the street, in the opposing sidewalk, my left leg lacked strenght and i fell, i tought it was strange but i got back on my feet again quickly, and as soon as i wanted to use my left leg again, it'd bend and i would collapse. Then i yelled MOM, asking for help because i did not know what the fuck it was happening.

So, we went with the doctor, who sent us to the nearest city with a specialist, who sent us to one of the best mexican ortophedists back in the day. It turned out that i had Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, i was that 1 in 10,000 kid that is obliged to use a fucking metallic thingie in his leg, just for god's amusement. (That's why i'm agnostic)...

... Anyway, i had to use that damn device for two and a half years, a period in which i could not play games as a normal kid would. Soccer and stuff like that was off limits for me, but it was not so frustrating back in the day, i've always been a very introverted person, so i wander in my toughts quite often. But the kids, the god damn kids, they would come up with several offensive nicknames for me, like "Wooden leg", "Metal leg", and other cute ones, i used to get angry and i tryied to chase them and kick them with the metallic part of the device, but they'd run way faster than i could so i rarely got to kick them, i think i kicked them once or twice...

Time went by and by the time i stopped using the fucking metallic thing, my social skills were quite low, and i'd eat all alone during the lunch time. As you can guess, i did not play a lot of sports because i lacked skill in any of them, other kids wouldnt pass the ball to a kid that would surely lose it, and it was a vicious circle, i would rarely play, they would be assholes whenever i played with them. I was "the fat kid", except that i was thin.

Time went by, and i grew some love for computers and i eventually became a slightly dorky nerd and, like any good nerd, i didnt give a shit about looks, sports, or overall health. I gained an important amount of weight despite of being skinny when i was a child.

By the time when i was 21 years old, i FUCKING SUCKED at every sport known to man (unless you count call of duty as a sport, that is), and i still didnt give a fuck about playing them, losing weight, eating healthier or anything like that (i'd drink two 600ml regular cokes a day, and a small bag of potato chips)...

One day, one of my schoolmates invited me to play some soccer, to which i agreed reluctantly because i KNEW i was going to suck monkey balls, but thank god i started playing back then...

The first day i played, i played for five minutes, and those were the five damn longest minutes of my entire life, i felt like my hard would explode, my legs were about to fail, I WAS A FAILURE.

Then i just realized that if i was going to play some soccer, i could, at the very least, get into a decent shape so that i could play the entire match, and so it began...

I started by jogging, walking and playing soccer from time to time, i eventually lost some weight and i liked the feeling of those damn fine natural opioids that your brain releases after extenuos physical activity, and i liked the fun of playing soccer with friends, so i continued to gain resistance.

One year later, i had shed a few pounds without any changes to my diet (still drinking two cokes a day LOL), then i tought that going to the gym would be a good idea, and i started going, at the beginning i was ashamed that some high school kiddies would lift 2 or 3x my weight, but i kept going, and i did this for a good 4 month period.

Martial arts training required that I gain more muscle mass and better overall fitness.

By that time, i ditched public transportation, so i walked about 8 miles a day while carrying a 10kg backpack (a notebook, lotsa paper and even a wireless router for those improvised quake III matches, i was still a nerdy geek), and something that was sleeping within me suddenly awoke.

Now i could play soccer two hours nonstop, i was able to some SQUATZ with a relatively decent amount of weight (given my time), and i was able to do hack squats with about 350lb, or so.

And a small pain in my left hip began to grow... the same hip that got fucked up when i was little. I ignored it at the beginning, i tought it could be something else, but it didnt stop, it was there every night to remind me that something was wrong, and then i went with the doc.

It turned out that my bone did not reshape correctly, and that i should stop all the impact activities inmediately because i would eventually develop ostheoarthritis, it was a matter of time.... I stopped going to the gym, i stopped playing soccer, even brisk walking... i stopped everything about one year ago.

Now, i just began swimming because it is almost the only cardiovascular activity that i am allowed to do. I do it for several reasons:

1. Get fit, my body is my temple so it better be well kept.
2. Control my blood pressure, it tends to spike from time to time even when i have a normal weight.
3. Because i'd like to explore my current limits under the water.

That's my story, i will eventually need a hip replacement surgery after tolerating years of excruciating pain, taking opioids and using a cane (it WILL have flames).

And a message to the fatasses here: FUCKING RUNNING, JOGGING, SQUATTING IS A GOD DAMN PRIVILEGE, FUCKING DO IT LAZY MOTHERFUCKERS, i've gotten into little fights while trying to explain this to fat friends.

Mom never got scared tough.

Damn... best story so far in this thread. And the most motivational.

Wow dude... what you have just sucks.. While reading your story, I started feeling how good I have it that I have no real physical problems, and should take advantage of it.

Thanks man.. this story has just motivated me to work out even more.
