This thread is for former skellies (sub-120lbs before lifting) and current skellies.
What was your weight at your skelliest? What's your weight now? What's the diameter of your wrist? (will confirm if you have a small bone structure) Do you feel like your gains ever hit a plateau? If so, at what point?
While "muh genetics" should NEVER be an excuse to not work out and improve yourself, genes to some degree do determine your gains. For example your bone structure does determine your muscular potential; also having smaller bones will mean you're a lot lighter than someone at the same height for the same amount of muscle.
I was 106lbs at my skelliest (5'10"), currently I'm 140lbs. I have 6" wrists exactly. After having put on 30+lbs I feel like my gains have slowed down to a crawl. It's nice though that due to the narrow span of my shoulders, I can wear a size S and look more fit (ottermode is fit by normie standards) in it than someone bigger and stronger than me who wears a size M or L that's a little too loose for them.

Lifting has completely changed my life though. When I started I was super shy and had no confidence, eye contact with girls was enough to get me sweating. Now, I'm super content with life, graduating uni with career goals, and have a perfect qt gf that I get to play vidya with every week.

A few years ago I was a complete mess. I'm just now trying to get my life back together. Right now I'm reformulating my diet and trying to work up the courage to join a gym.

I've been lifting for 4 years, I'm currently seriously chronically ill and am expecting to drop down to below 100lbs while I wait for surgery, based on how little I can eat. 5'10.

Used to be 120lbs at 6'0, Im at 220 now 20% bf after 2.5 years. lmao 6 inch wrists but atleast they make my forearms look bigger

I can tell you I feel 100% better not hallucinating because of starvation, abusing emetics/laxative etc. I still feel like relapsing sometimes but trying to embrace the heavier, more muscular me. It feels good to be able to carry a guy's suitcases up the stairs on the subway then watch his face lol
It's not healthy for me to try and get into size 0 skinny jeans again. Being strong is better and coming here reminds me of that when I need it, even if my doctor doesn't understand how I don't look like a whale at my height/weight.
Jaxson Morgan
I really mean it when i say thank you for the encouragment as it stops me relapsing. Kind of pissed I have stretch marks on my biceps now tho

Started at 6'0" 115lbs. Thought i was a "hardgainer" but it turns out i just ate till i felt "full" then stopped. Realized i could continue putting food into my mouth and mechanically force myself to chew and swallow it even when i was "full."
Fast forward three years, i'm 6'0" 180 now. Still a wristlet but i look 100 times better than i used to.
