Oh, so now that everyone’s jumped on the bandwagon 😁

Just another 8 or 10 pounds to go and this diet is finally in the rearview mirror 👋
😁







edit:

Since you guys seem to be struggling so much, here’s a little motivation for the glutes 😁

Let me weigh in here too 😬

So, in this photo, I was about 203 lbs at 6'3", and I wasn't hitting the gym at all—just my natural build, really. My goal now is to drop down to about 198 lbs and get some muscle definition. Simple as that. I'll post an update once I actually see some progress. 😁



Here’s a shot of my arm. Honestly, seeing all these tiny arms on this forum makes me a little embarrassed 😁

Here's a shot of me:

My training has been pretty hit or miss over the last year, and my diet hasn't been great either (between work and college 😢 ). I've put on a little extra fat—you can tell by the vascularity—but I’ve also lost some weight (classic ectomorph build 😁), but whatever... things will improve. Right now, the only things I have left are my forearms and my glutes. Maybe I'll post a shot of the glutes another time. 😳

And here's an older one 😛

(The quality on this phone photo is pretty rough, oh well 🙂 )

figured I'd show off a bit too 😁—been doing Taekwondo for about 5 years now, I guess 🙂

since you guys were asking for more... 😁

I guess I finally had to join in too, since I was home last week: what do you guys think, is my daily jogging actually worth the effort?🙂 (that’s me in the yellow top and jeans):

My 8-month road to success!

Here is my latest shot showing the definition. Now, I’m shifting gears into a strict bulking phase. Building real mass isn't an overnight miracle—it takes serious time! 😁

The transformation over the last few months—specifically from early February up until today...
I actually slowed down my diet on purpose during the last two months because things were moving way too fast for my liking.
The total difference is about 50 pounds.
My strength, speed, and stamina have all shot up, so I’m incredibly happy with how this diet is working out...



I've only got about 6 or 7 pounds left to drop before I move into maintenance mode.

Thought I’d throw something out there too... Lately, I’ve been focusing way more on raw strength and endurance than just chasing pure muscle size. I might try a bulking cycle this fall and see how things shake out..

Anyway, here's a shot of my back..
Posing isn't exactly my thing, so don't come at me :-) Between the lighting, my phone, and the camera angle, it turned out pretty much how it is. A little cocky, I guess :-)

Just the leg for now—the rest of the body will have to wait its turn for the camera. 😬

Here is a shot from the bathroom...😁

I used to swim, play tennis, and do Taekwondo. Lately, I’ve shifted to cycling, running, basketball, and hitting the gym. 6'2", 185 lbs.

It took me a solid year to drop from 150 lbs down to this 😬



A few more shots for you guys:

Bored, so I'm reviving this thread. It's been almost two months, and here I am with new photos... just keep in mind I've already eaten, so take that into account...
Honestly, I'm pretty annoyed with myself because I haven't run for EXACTLY one month. 😢The heat is brutal, I can't face getting up early, and at night I'm busy writing my thesis and starting driving school. I just don't have the energy to run. 😢
I don't think my body has "deteriorated" much during this month, but I shouldn't be taking such long breaks. Usually, I spend the summer surfing and swimming, then from September 1st to June 15th, I'm running. (And yeah, I actually run through the snow during New Year's and Christmas and all that kind of thing 😁).
Without running, I feel soft, gross, and useless. Nothing I can do while the heatwave hits. For another month, I'll just be out there surfing like crazy and swimming in the ocean, then on the 9th, I'm back to running. 😢
Hopefully, my body won't hold this next month and a half of no running against me...

Sorry about the dirty mirror; it's in my parents' room. Between cleaning my own room, the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and EVERYTHING else, I don't have the headspace to clean theirs too. 😁

Can someone more experienced tell me—is it okay if I don't run until September 1st? If I swap running for surfing and swimming instead, since the heat makes running impossible... would a little break work? Maybe some squats, lunges, and stuff at home 🙂?

Don't mind the background—taking selfies in the bathroom is honestly pretty lame, but when there’s nobody around to snap a photo of me, I have to make do with a mirror.

Well, since things have already started going 😁 😁





Just one person from summer vacation, from a few days back... it hasn't been long, so what's the point now... 😁

After Matthew, nothing else really matters, so here’s a little something from me:

[IMAGE DELETED]

and my core



The first photo was taken under artificial lighting; the quality isn't great since I just snapped it quickly. 😉

Here are a few photos of myself! Please feel free to leave some comments. I know I’m a bit on the heavier side (but what can you do?), though I am a volleyball player standing 5'11" and weighing about 166 lbs. Starting tomorrow, I'm diving back into beach volleyball and hitting the pool! I would truly appreciate any feedback or tips on how I can improve my physique.

Oh, and here are a few more so you can get a slightly better look. Since everyone is currently away at the beach, most of these are just in shorts!

Here are my photos... I'm 5'4", 115 lbs, an avid runner, and just living life—currently 18
