Still 61.5kg, still got irrational fear of getting fat again, still failing at lean bulking. I like eating too, which makes me hate myself even more. :eek: Half tempted to throw money at someone to say 'do this program, eat this much' and stop me from sabotaging my own progress.

Didn't fail at getting rid of the bewbs though, although that did take a trip to Poland to sort out.

How much did it cost to get rid of the moobs?

£1400 for the surgery at the Noa Clinic in Wroclaw, Poland. Total cost was about £1900 once flights, food, accommodation, compression vests etc were added. That's about half the price of what you'd pay for just the operation here in the UK.

Aren't Moobs just fat? Shouldn't they disappear naturally as your BF reduces?

No. Secondary sexual characteristics like breasts are often controlled by hormones - many teenagers boys have a period where they get slightly mooby during puberty, but it often sorts itself out as hormones stabilise. Unfortunately for some, this oestrogen/testosterone imbalance as a teenager doesn't go away (probably in my case due to being fat and never doing any exercise, thus not raising my test levels) and you're left with what is essentially the same kind of breast tissue women have. It's called gynecomastia/gyno btw.

Sorry 4 large pics.

That was the night before surgery. Getting lean and growing something vaguely resembling pecs gave me a better chest shape, but as you can see my nips were still puffy and jutted out of my chest (and through clothing lol).

A few weeks after surgery (very flat from no training :()

Scars are almost completely faded at this point.

Not been in here for a while. I broke my thumb, actually gained some weight (due to bad diet), lost quite a bit of muscle mass after 8 weeks in a cast and a year of not being able to grip heavy weights and got comfortable in a long term relationship. I'm now single and as of 3 weeks ago (swung some weights around 5 weeks ago but better diet now), training again. I've just corrected my diet and the gains i've seen over the past 2 weeks don't seem like much on camera but feel like a lot in person. Going to keep this up and i'm actually excited to make a good progression now.

Been focusing on pressups, shrugs and weighted dips mainly. 3 weeks ago i struggled with 10 pushups, i can now do around 30 before i feel a burn.

Over 3 weeks i've noticeably lost some bodyfat (ribs are more visible) actually gained some ab muscles (never really trained them) and while i wasn't as small on the shoulder as back in 2011 when i started lifting again a few weeks ago i was not massively bigger. You can still see in the top middle pic that my left forearm is significantly smaller than the right from the broken thumb.

28, 16.5 stone and 6'5"

Bro... You just don't have much mass; the definition in your legs is indicative of the fact you are not fat... Just not very big. :)

I know its not the worst, but like i said its the highest bodyfat i've ever had and it feels weird. Will be nice to get rid again. I've had a diet of sugar for like... well forever really. Wouldnt think anything of eating a bag of haribo, followed by a bag of skittles for lunch and a kfc with a pack of cookies for dinner. On a daily basis.

I tried kicking it but had a sugar addiction for sure. Since i started eating better though i've cut back the sugar completely, dont even have it on weetabix now!! I think thats largely to blame for the lack of growth and the lack of being able to grow a beard haha. 28 and all i can get is a goatee.

Really looking forward to eating right, training hard and getting some proper muscle put on.
 
If that's the sort of bf level you hold while eating crap and doing nothing then start eating absolutely anything in sight while training hard and consistently and you'll see some massive changes.
