LOL - ah if only it were as easy as the words!
This thread is perfect for showing progress, either from being skinny to being bigger, or from being higher fat percentage to lower. We don't need another thread on this - I think this is fit for purpose.

Who said it was easy? I've been a skinny runt for half of my life and slightely larger on the other.
I have a goal to make myself feel better about my physique, I need to lower my body fat while maintaining some muscle mass otherwise I will be in the same boat as I was a few years ago. Yes it will take time but I will get to a stage where I am happy.

Sorry my comment was misconstrued - it was just a general observation that everyone that gets a change for the positive works their collective rear ends off to get there. It wasn't a judgement call mate...

No worries, I know people have worked really hard to get were they are today, maybe I should have worded my original statement a bit better
I will hopefully post my progress up in thread, but it will be slow progress at that.

A 4/5 month transformation picture, excuse the facebook/mypsace kind of picture. Hope is not too rubbish????

You should take another picture roughly the same as your before pic, so we can see the changes properly.
I have not actually started yet but I am joining the gym this week as I am sick of being skinny and weak. I am roughly 148lbs @ 5ft 10" currently and I was wondering if I should cut then bulk?
Also, is there a way to bulk without putting on the excess bodyfat? I have completely changed my diet these past 2 weeks and I intend to stick with it.
This is me if it helps, thanks!

But a lot of speak in here is jargon and all muscle men
I can translate for you and hold your hand if it helps?
Agreed, however you can still see a lot of progress. Certainly in the shoulder, and arm area. As you say though it's hard to completely gauge the progress from those shots.

Personally, i wouldn't worry about it. You have nothing to cut anyway, you need muscle. Just have a good bulking diet and hit the gym with intensity and intelligence.
Good luck dude.

Settleddown;
you put 14kg on in 4 months? You sure? That's 2st. You don't look like you have to me.
How tall are you, because you have a lot less mass (and fat
) than i do and i'm 85kg at 5'9".
Regardless of my opinion (misiniformed or otherwise) at least you're going in hte right direction, nice one.

I gym 6 times per week.and put the effort in big time, I must have some good.genetics as I can put my hand on my heart and say 100% that pic is of me at 89.

Lift your arms, run tape around chest around the nipples, and round the back. Make sure the tape is level and parallel.
Another measurement which is useful is the full circumference. I.e. around the shoulder as well as chest, so the tape goes over your arms.
We've all got to start somewhere mate.
