I was 5 foot 8 inches, and about a hundred pounds. I was one of the skinniest kids in my high school, and got made fun of, and just had no self confidence. One of the hardest things for me was to get over my total lack of confidence and my crappy posture, and go to the gym to lift around massive muscular guys. It wasn't even the difficulty of lifting the weights, but me, as skinny as I was walking into the gym, struggling to lift the bench bar. Now, 8 months later and still going to the gym 3-4 times a week, I have gained 33 pounds of muscle mass, (no supplements of any kind, just healthy eating) have at least doubled all of my starting weights from 8 months ago, and can actually run a mile with ease, and just have the confidence overall. I don't mean to sound cheesy or anything, but working out really has transformed my life. I am confident now, actually considered attractive to the ladies, instead of a super skinny freak, and on top of that, most of the stress of high school is gone. The weeks no longer are dragging stressfully by. Without a question, the best thing I have ever done for myself. I started working out 8 months ago (when I was 16 years old).

Once I get started to exercise, in my case, it's yoga, I feel so good. I joined Yogazone two years ago and was so happy to enjoy my classes. I'm not a very active person. I don't like sport but I get to love yoga. I would want to learn more but unfortunately, the situation does not permit me to do so. But I cannot give up, can I? Hehe! Thanks for sharing your story. It makes my day. I can totally relate your story to mine. Once I get started to exercise, in my case, it’s yoga, I feel so good. I joined Yogazone two years ago and was so happy to enjoy my classes.

I have a similar intention when I set up my fitness blog, but you put it much more succinct & eloquently. I like the layout. I will definitely include your blog in my blog list so that my visitors can also benefit from more than one person's experience with fitness & weight management. We need more fitness 'converts' to tell their story & debunk much of the health myths. Great what you are doing.

No thanks to asian parenting where they think fat is cute and fat is prosperity. I grew up with monikers such as fatty bom bom to my name and fei chai after my surname. I started relatively late in sports, just like you, about 4 years ago. Even when i was actively playing rugby, i gave excuse to eat because i told myself i needed the "mass", but it was nothing but fat that i was putting on. I touched 90kg and i thought it was all muscle. I use the weight lifting regime and the rugby game as my biggest excuse. What i see as BIG, others sees as FAT. The road to what i am, and what i want to become has been long. It has been filled with pain, uncertainties and challenges; i'm just glad i made the change. Just like you, i grew up as a fat boy.

Anyway, I’ve just started going to the gym too.

What was my catalyst? My baby sis announcing that she’ll be getting married in a year’s time.

Prior to that I’m plagued by health problems relating to my weight. I’m terribly overweight.

Anyway, after starting, I can report that I’m starting to feel much better healthwise.

Like you said, enough of the excuses. Just do it… Don’t turn back.

I hope that I have the willpower and discipline to keep going. :-)

Thanks for the tips! It’s all about discipline! No pain, no gain.
