How old were you when you decided to make the change to get fit?

Entering senior year here. I am still a "talked to girl" virgin

Sixth grade. I was a skinny little turd when I lived in China, mostly because there was nothing to eat that would make me too fat. All the snacks and shit were really bad for you. I don't mean make you fat bad, I mean the chemicals will give you literal mental retardation bad. After coming to America in second grade, I started ballooning up because everything was safe to eat now. So I ate everything.

I got bigger, and as I got bigger, I ate more, and you guys know how these things go. It kept going until sixth grade. Now, if you guys aren't in American, let me tell you a little about Physical Education in America, at least where I'm from. For grades 1-5, PE is pretty much just go outside and run around. In grade six, however, we started getting graded for PE, and one of the main criteria is the mile run.

Being the fat little shit I was, I ran a ~13 minute mile, much to my chagrin. Turns out, I got a D in PE. When my dad saw this, freaked out. Like all good Asian parents, the only thing he really cared about were my grades. And once he found out that I got a D because of my mile time, He immedietly made me go outside and run two miles, literally on that day.

And every day afterwards, he made me run two miles, except on Sundays. He also stopped buying me the garbage I was inhaling. This kept going for around three months, and by the end, my mile time went from 13 minutes to ~7:30. Over this time, I also grew in terms of height, so I went back to being a little lanklet. But at least it's better than being a disgusting fat piece of shit. The year after, I started doing sports, and never looked back.

Right now, while I'm not Veeky Forums, I'm not disgusting either. I'm 6'4", 200 pounds, fairly physically fit, and I do BJJ. Had my dad not dragged me out there when I was little, I'm sure I'd be a dumpster fire by now. Maybe a fat neckbeard. I owe so much to my dad, I can't even describe it.

Don't worry friendo, I was there a few years ago. Things get easier after high school.

show body, curious what a 6'4 chinese man looks like

The funniest part about this whole thing, to me at least, is that it started not because my dad was worried about my health or that I was going to be a fat, worthless piece of shit, but because I had bad grades. Guess it just goes to show how Asian my dad really was.

holy fuck dude this is relateable coming from a korean btw. my dad did almost the same exact thing.

21. Started Dec 2015.
279 lbs to 199.4. 20 lbs until healthy BMI.
Didn't listen to Veeky Forums so I'm skinny fat.
I should have listened to Veeky Forums.

I haven't gone to the gym today so I don't look too good. Actually I don't look too good in general. But at least I'm not a disgusting fat piece of shit.

I was a fat little bastard in grade 7, so probably 13 or so. Started running and doing bullshit machine workouts every day because I saw my entire family become obese due to the food our whale of a mother gave to us. Started at 5'8 around 280, now I'm 6'1 195 in second year uni. Actually started lifting almost two years ago, my lowest was skelly boy 180

You're like a baby, watch this
>tfw university dropout
>tfw kissless, handholdless virgin

17, though wanted to lift but didn't have the means to since teenager

not trying to be mean I'm just curious... you're saying you've never talked to a girl before?

Lol are you seriously trying to one-up me about your pathetic life?

How about girl my age for non-work related reasons. So a scenario where they legitimately wanted to talk you.

nobody wants to talk to anyone at first. The first conversation is what initiates things

started lifting at 26. am currently 28. it's been a good 2 years.

20, was tired of not liking the pool because I looked like shit without a shirt on. Finally starting to see some change now a few months later and about to get even more serious. Feels fucking good man.

14, 16, 19, 21, and 24. Shits hard, yo.

16ish with high school lifting.

I am now 26 years old and still a virgin.

Go outside, kids. For the love of God.

36 I'm 36 now

All of these youngfags talking about changing their lives. Changing what? Yours havent even started yet, let alone need changing. I'm interested in hearing about my 25+ bros.

24, I got tired of looking like shit, tired of beta men and want to set an example.

That was 3 years ago. Fuck I was pathetic back then

I started lifting off and on around 16 but I never took it really seriously until 21. Mainly I just never ate enough.

so you gave up the life of a cute girly trap to be some jabroni meathead?

bad girl. but it's not too late to turn back yet. you can still become the girl you've always been meant to be.

tfw you will never look shredded and veiny as me

I'm 28
started lifting a couple months ago
but I'm not really "changing my life"
I'm still an anti-social autist who never leaves the house, I don't think that will ever change no matter how much I lift

i was 16 when i first tried, 17 when i tried again. Then i was 18 and i havent stopped for 4 years

Kek is this real ?

11. I just wanted to be strong, so I started waking up before school to do push-ups and sit-ups.

I started at the age of 25, July of last year, 2016. I have been lifting and running for over a year now. Reason why I wanted to change, it's a long story that can be summarized in one sentence: "I wanted to change".

I will never stop lifting or exercising. I've always dreamed of doing special things, things that not everyone can do. Breaking a PR of mine is special, it makes me feel like I am super human, because I just achieved something that I was never able to achieve in the past.

I run my first ever 5k in under 28 minutes yesterday. The time was 27 minutes and 59 seconds, yes, 59 seconds. I almost cried in the end. I could not believe how much I have improved from 44 minutes (my first ever 5k on 11/07/2017), to yesterday.

So yes, I might have started exercising later than most guys here, but I am happy that I did.

correction: 11/07/2017 => 11/07/2016

Just started this year after realizing that I was a slim excuse of a man getting some neck and belly fat little by little

Never had too much trouble getting laid/gf in the past but I recently realized it was only by crushing my ego and smartly hiding my personal beliefs...

It's been 4 months only (for lifting, I started jogging last January) and atm I am spending quality time alone with my father, doing some hiking and jogging with him.
I can feel he's happy to see that his son won't end up as an edgy IT faggot who's "too smart to exercise" or some other modern bullshit

>mfw the last chick I fucked a year ago was a Tinder landwhale
It really made me realize that fighting or giving up was my decision only

The future can only be brighter now, gains are coming slowly but I'm patient

Around 17/18.

Im still a dyel tho

babby steps

14 national socialist, I know fucking weird but whatever. Fat, but also hated fats and betas because they were üntermensch. Start doing cardio everyday, also lifting in garage. 19 now, proud of myself. If it wasnt for hitler i'd still be a fat slob. I am the Hitler youth.

You must feel like a god as 6'4 in china

Just gradded high school, going to a 2 year HVAC program soon, only heard good things about it, and I've asked around countless times. I wish you the best man. Hope you enjoy your career!

Twenty as well, but had been ‘trying’ for a few years.

Same to you kid. HVAC is tough work but the rewards are amazing. If you live in the southern states like I do (texas) HVAC is a must and man are they paid very well. Godspeed senpai

Started at 18, 125 lbs Skelly mode. I'm 19 now and am 148 lbs
I lift for myself but low-key I want someone like to slob on my knob
Veeky Forumsmade me like muscular girls and thicc braphogs

13 years old

I was a fat kid (5'10" and 210lbs or so) and was tired of it, so over a few months I put myself on an extreme cardio protocol and dropped down to 150lbs (and also had an extreme growth spurt up to 6'1")

most of this was over the summer before freshman year of HS and some people barely recognized me when they saw me again

actually probably wasn't 5'10", more like 5'8" or 5'9" but really fat as fuck with no muscle mass at all

I decided last week. 28 years old 115 kg - 183 cm. Im not even sure if i can make it. But there is a cutie trainer in my gym so whenever i feel like tired or starting to make excuses to not go, i always remind myself her. Sorry for blog

It's honestly not as great as you might think. Most of the time, you just get comments about how you'd be good at basketball. Being tall doesn't help with women nearly as much in China as it does here, since the women in China are a lot more practical. It's about money, job, and house. A famous line in china is: "I'd rather cry in the back of a BMW than laugh in the back of a bicycle."

What trade did you pick? Best of luck user.
