I was really small in grade 9 - 5'6 @ 124lbs, and worked out 3-4 days a week, used protein powders, suppliments, etc and by june grade 11 i was 6'2 175lbs @ 7% bodyfat. I was starting to get abs ))

Over the summer i quit working out (had 3 jobs) and have lost muscle mass, gained bodyfat and 10 pounds, lost strength, and losing self esteem. I feel really chumpy, i need to start working out again, but can seem to motivate myself to go more than once or twice then not going for weeks at a time. I look at myself in the mirror and look back at my progress picks from 8 months ago and feel terrible. how can i motivate myself to get back into routine :(

about a year and a half ago i was a bit 'chubby' and i really didn't like my legs, stomach or arms. so one day i just said "im going to change".

I put a picture of me that was photoshopped thinner, on my mirror. I excersized everyday and soon i began to look like my photoshopped picture.

Maybe you could do similar just keep thinking "wow, I'm going to be sexy" thats what i did.

Worth a try i suppose

I don't wanna be namelous,

I wanna be famous.

Music is a BIG motivation for me.

ím also pretty small, and going to start going to a gym here anytime soon, cant wait
i think my self esteem will improove drastically <3 Maybe i will start dating when i gained some abs and muscles who knows?

once you overcome laziness, it should be no problme

so true, i was working out ritually and was more enegetic, happier, had more self esteem...

once you fall out of the cycle you get lazy, and dont want to work your way back up :(

i will be going to the gym as soon as second semester starts, i need to get abs for prom :p
