1 year. That was when I got my first mire. My parents told me for a while that I was getting bigger but they don't count because they're programmed to talk you up and make you feel great even when you're a pile of shit.

Sorry, I have none.

There's a video about it on youtube, two French twins working out, I think that took about 3 years

Current age: 25
Started lifting at: 20 years old

Starting weight 180 (dropped to low of 170)
Current weight 198 (down from high of 207)

Decided to start lifting to compensate for massive gyno-based insecurity and social awkwardness

Lifted consistently for more than three years. In my 4th year, I got gyno surgery, stopped going for one month during recovery, and never really bounced back because my greatest physical insecurity was gone. I began again 3 months ago because my younger friend wanted me to train him. Side note: Said gym buddy is the only pupil I've ever had that lasted longer in the gym than 2 weeks - and this is coming from a guy that used to train kids that were literally ORDERED to show up by our military leadership. Pretty proud of the guy.

I just didn't want to be a fat fuck, my gf was a solid 8/10, for real, and I just was always feeling inferior and worried she would get CHAD to cuck me. She left me when I was starting to look decent, fucking whore.
>How long lifting
About a year and a half
>How long for people to notice
Clos friends and familye noticed my weight loss when I was down to 90kg, then when I was 76 almost everybody asked me about it. Feels good tbqh. Started a lean bulk about 3 months ago.

Maybe you'll get it right the third time.

Overall, better life, but I was actually more confident when I lied to myself as a fatty.

3-4 months for people to start saying "have you been working out?" "Your shirt is tight on the shoulders" and "you've lost some weight" (went on a 800 kcal deficit and dropped to 80 kg)
A year and a half for friends at the beach to say "dude what have you been doing, your back is HUGE" (I'm dyel by Veeky Forums standards, don't ask for pics)

4 years, but I didn't really start reading and learning everything I could until around 6 months ago. It was all about losing weight and not regaining it before that.

Can't really say, but within the first 6 months I'd lost 16kg, and people definitely noticed that.

>how long until people started noticing gains
They noticed my weight lost first and foremost. I was a fatty most of my life. Not a super fatty, but enough that my clothes stretched. Biggest was 202, so losing ~50lbs turner some heads. Only been bulking about a month, while the rest of my 9 months were weight loss, so my gains don't stick out as much yet. They're going much better now that I'm bulking though.

4 months, I guess

Started doing retarded "routines". Then went to Reg Park's. went from 60 kg (skinny fat) to 66 or 67 kg (same amount of fat, more muscle). I'm at 63 kg now, mantained the muscle and am losing fat. I guess I'm otter mode now.

Approximately a year this is because I went out of state uni and didn't socialize. When I came back everyone from high school came out the wet work.
