Popular Post Fuzzyrob Posted December 2 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 2 3 month just passed since I registered to a gym membership and PT. As I see so many guys with good bod and handsome face, started to wonder what made them start working out? For me, I was fat and ugly with very low self-esteem to approach and meet anyone, but I wanted to fuck. So I came to the conclusion that I have to change myself to love myself more. It felt unfair to ask someone to like me when I don't like myself haha... Leisure, Kimochi, anxiousfriedtofu and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strategicthrust Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 A blunt but well-intentioned remark by my colleague some years back: "If you don't start exercising you'll end up looking like Colleague B." Colleague B was in his mid-40s, handsome face but pear-shaped body. That week i signed up for a gym membership and PT and I have not stopped going to the gym every week since then. Atb for your personal fitness journey. When you notice your gains (no matter how small), it will keep you striving for better.

fresh7up Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 I was a scrawny kid, a hard gainer and easily lose weight. Until I decided to overload on my carbs intake and hit the gym at the same time in my early 20s. I gain some 20kg within a period of 6 months from 55kg to 75kg with my height of 182cm. My highest weight achievement was 88kg but it when down to 75kg++. Now in my early 40s, friends and stranger commented I look late 20s. I exercise regularly 6 times a week and still consume whey, casine, mass gainer (to maintain my ideal weight around 75kg, I still a hard gainer despite reaching 40. And to maintain my muscle mass.) My primary goal of working out now is not to get guys to have fun with me (quitted that 2 years back) now it's more to maintain strength in my 40s and to look good wearing clothes. thickpec, gtlife64, Fuzzyrob and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphere Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Nice @Fuzzyrob, had wanted to start this topic but always 'forgot' about it, haha. Well, once I started working, had not done any exercises at all for the longest time. No offence to anyone, was never an oversized person but I did grew a bit horizontally over time (obviously, since I did not workout). Every time I told myself I would start to workout 'next year' and it didn't happen, haha. Finally came one day when I checked my BMI (not the best indicator, but a good thing to start with) and it was on the 'overweight' range. Kind of 'panic' and my pants were also tight by then - so I realised "it is time to start NOW". I started a 10-session PT with Safra and then I was on my own since, never regret it, in fact was 'blaming' myself for those years I procrastinated, haha. I reduced a good 10-11kg to about 70kg within 4-6 months after I started working out, and keeping within that range ever since. @strategicthrust was right, I definitely like that little achievement I've got, and still trying to improve further. My personal suggestion for all is at least to get ready the 2Ds = "Determination & Discipline", which I think would be the important 'ingredients' to your successes.

ziurtis Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Saw my reflection when taking a bus at night 3 years ago. Didn’t like how I looked and all the body image issues I used to have just resurfaced at that moment. Only difference was as it was during heightened alert period, all the excuses about not having time for exercise due to commitments were no longer valid. Started slow but managed to stick to it and now have it has become a routine. Honestly, I’ve never felt better.

Maybe you're still young and have not had enough of s×x. Liked I've said, as we age we lose bone density, muscle mass and collagen. Regular exercises helps in retaining these when we aged. And most of us will be living alone so yea it also helps to give us energy to do the cleaning and daily activities etc. Edited December 3 by fresh7up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hopefully I will become brave enough soon to get my first Sxx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah to be honest I love it when people touch my muscles so one of the reasons I go to the gym is to get bigger and stronger and more solid so people can enjoy my body more. It’s a bit of a slutty thought and not something I’d readily share in real life haha but yeah.

janamacon Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 (edited) When I first started working out, I wasn’t happy with how I looked either, and I knew I needed to make some changes—not just for others, but for myself. For me, it was about building confidence and feeling better in my own skin. Along with hitting the gym, I also started focusing more on all natural food, like fresh fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. The difference it made in my energy levels and mood was huge! It’s a journey, and the most important thing is learning to appreciate and love yourself along the way.

Need to have a broad shoulders thick back with nice V taper to tight waist, and then flare out to thick thighs in trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondtea_lover Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 The initial motivation for me is to slim down my face as it's very round and I look old and tired. Also wanted to look good with or without clothing, so can give good impression to people. After 30, I realized that my energy levels are drastically dropping, so had to exercise and eat less unhealthy food so that I don't feel tired all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
