I want to share with some of you who are down now about your looks, appearence and image.


I for one have been on both sides of the fence.

im almost 22..b day in 5 days!


all of my life I was very skiny and short...I am 5 foot 7.

which isnt terribly short..infact I like it..its me!

when I got out of hs..I never worried about self image. I was fine...but then the LBS started to pack on. I was in a LTR..and I didnt care..I got all the way up to near 200 lbs with no muscle. Ok guys 200 lbs with no muscle. I have always been cute..so even at that fat stage and cheating on my gf...(we were all young dumb and full of ***). I could still pull massive hot chicks...its confidence and personality baby! Anyways..my LTR left..bad break up. So I was left with shattered confidence and a fat ass body, with a slight receding hairline in front. luckily for me I can cute naturally..PHEW!

So we will start at my worse January of 2002. I was 5 foot 7 inches, 202 lbs, 20 something percent body fat, receding hairline, bad posture, ok teeth, bad skin, always dry. It was bad. I was about a 4.5 or 5 if that. I will say 4.5....I was down in the dumps nothing could help me. Then I decided to make the change.

Now at first I didnt have the same power and motivation I have now with working out. I started in on Atkins and in 5 weeks dropped 22 lbs to 180. I moved to a 5 on the scale.
the next 12 months I didnt do much still in the rut.

SO I WASTED A YR. Now we are at March of 2003, I joined a gym. gained about 10 lbs of mass..I was up to 190..so i was a bulky short fat kid. still a 5 on the scale. lots of wasted time upcoming so lets skip to 2004.

when it changed.. i just had enuf..I didnt want to make excuses..I started to play tennis and workout. I lost 10 lbs, then 5 more overtime, then 5 more. I was down to 170. I went out and started using hair thickening shampoo(vibe for men) got a nice haricut from a nice old black women! I love black old moms they are something else.

I bleeched my teeth with chrest white strips they work guys...I started a new workout called HST. I got the gillete for men face products..nevertheless I have nice skin now.

I maintain all of this. I play tennis every other day and workout 3 days a week.

currently I am 5 foot 7 inches...163 lbs...9.5 percent body fat. I am a 7 or 7.5. I get stared at or looked at because I have a great body and a cute white smile.

I dont have this because it just came..its hard work. and as you guys read in the articles women have to do this to, to look good.

so lastly...self image is a mental state but you can help urself..sorry i ran this so boring and long.

lets review.

2003= 5'7" 202 lbs...20 something body fat, bad posture, acne, dry skin, bad hair. I was a 4.5-5. of 10.

today=5'7" 163(-39) 9.5 body fat, great posture, no acne, nice skin, the best hair I can have..im not really bad at all. im a 7-7.5

just on looks alone....thats without being a man or a DJ.

my point is..get ur ass out there and do something about it.

ps. dress nice too!:)

Yes. Looks count. Lose fat and build some muscle. But most important thing is confidence.

having an athletic...proportioned not to big body...

Phat Rabbit and I..are pretty much perfect sizes for our heights.

5 10 and 185 with a low say 10 percent body fat would be great

Just another post for furthur motivation.


At this time last year (2003) I weighed over 240 lbs at 6 ft even. I was an overweight sluggish mess, in addition to being shy and having no self confidence.

In the past 5 months I have went from 240 to my current weight at 205. All I did was I got out of the house for exercise. Sometimes I would mountain bike, sometimes I would run, sometimes I would work out at the gym. I even found a hiking partner and me and her have done some pretty intensive hikes.

Now granted I am still shy but I have only been coming to this site for a couple of weeks now, after all. The important thing is that I am starting to get noticed :)

apparently size doesnt really matter in my case, cuz i am 5' 5". i still get plenty of chicks, and get looked at by most of them. i am pretty built tho- i am a wrestler, so i lift regularly. ergo- i got a nice muscular body, just short

it's all a/b confidence, and how you look at yourself, and showcase yourself. self image needs to be good INNER self image, outer doesnt help you w/ confidence.

if you feel good a/b yourself, others will notice that, and notice you more!
