Thread: Bobert's Progress so far

Thats a cool progress pic...from boy to man.

What I am trying to decide is whether to go back to a smaller size or go with the flow and get bigger, cuz I just keep getting bigger naturally. It's kind of like I am just growing bigger and bigger, without alot of effort of my own...

I posted this on another board, but it fits...

Since I'm used to being small, I feel really big now, and I feel like I am bursting out of alot of my clothes. It feels like I'm a totally different person, so I am not really used to the size I am now, and am trying to channel it.
Actually I kind of feel like a beast, I think that since I grew so fast in actually a little less than two years my brain hasn't caught up with my body, so I kind of want to know if I look too big?

Its just so weird because all thru high school i ate alot and stuff, but never gained any weight, and had a really wirey frame and stuff, but now I kind of look like a wrestler.

Has anyone else ever heard of grwoing this fast from 19 - 21? Is there a such thing as a metabolism change or anything? Because I really was a hard gainer, and now its like I cant even control it. I mentioned going back to a smaller weight, but I really don't know if I could ever turn back. I don't know if that is possible. Isn't that weird?

I have seen kids who are short and the they just become real tall overnight.

You look better in the after pics, why would ever want to be small again?

I dunno, its not like I grew in height I guess, it's just like I blew up into a beast. Before I kind of had the whole pretty boy look, thin, actually even smaller than a swimmers bod, and now I am more like a wrestler, or football player, or something more beefy. And when I say this was two years ago, it took alot less than that for me to change. It is kind of like I was an ectomorph, and never could gain a pound no matter how hard I tried, and then my body kind of just took another turn and went out of control and turned into this. So, sometimes I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, but thank you for the compliment!!!

so tonight I just got back to my college, from being home for the weekend, and find out my car on campus is dead. Which really pisses me off, I drive a 1973 VW beetle, which is a cool car, when it runs, but right now, its just being a pain in the butt, its a serious money pit!

Don't have anyone I know to fix it in time for practice tomorrow, so basically yea, I'm screwed. On a lighter note, I did have a great weekend other than that!

A lot of guys metab slows down around 21, post puberty.
I went from 128-183lbs...age 20-21.

Great progress. I like your ink too

Thanks man! glad not to feel like such a freak! I just posted another old pic of me

man, this sucks! i hate not being able to sleep! I can't get to sleep, so i'm fooling around on the computer! argh! Hopefully tomorrow i'll go to class!

I also forgot to say that the body I hair I have in the first pictures has spared like wild fire, I don't know what to do with it but shave it off. Its like when I wear a tee shirt now you can see the hair poking up thru the top of the tee. It just keeps getting thicker and wider, and darker. So, I've been shaving it, my face has alot thicker beard now too.

It's Tuesday Morning, I got up and I'm checking my emails and stuff! lol.

I really appreciate all the nice comments everyone made on this board. The real truth behind why I feel uncomfortable with my body now, is because I really liked this girl for 2 years, and she liked me too. She really went for the "pretty boy" type, and I was exactly that. But when I started changing, she lost interest in me. I know that just shows she's shallow, but it hurts too you know?

Oh yea! hahaha, another thing related is the other day the wrestling coach told me I look like I wrestled in High School, and asked if I'd be interested in joining the team. Hahaha! I've never wrestled in my life!! hahahaha. I did get alot of amusement out of that to say the least. Wrestling singlet? On me? What a joke!

Ok, so I put my pictures on hotornot.com, I love that site! My old picture got an 8.5, and the picture of me now, is a 2.8 out of 10!!!! OUCH! So can I have some honest feed back about my pics?? Any comments at all would be awesome, Even if they are negative I can use them!

You look marvelous, a lot like a greek god.

The picture of you a few years ago... I would have guessed you were about 14-15. You looked like a little kid. You look a lot older now. You have a decent size to you but I would hardly say you look like a monster. You aren't that big. I doubt that your new looks have anything to do with the girl loosing interest in you. That is just what girls under 25 do. Maybe by the time they are 21, some girls might be able to keep interested in a guy for longer (some girls) but before 21... if you kept her interested for 6 months or more, that is quite an accomplishment. A lot of guys can get more serious about relationships at a younger age than girls. Many girls these days tend to not want to settle down until a little older (and by the time they do, the only single guys left are the ones that decided to never settle down)

I wouldn't worry about hot or not. There are people that just don't like tattoos and will give a 1 if you have any. There are also people that will vote 1 just because you don't have a shirt on so they think you are just being vain. As far as getting a high vote on the other picture, I think it is people trying to make the skinny little 14 year old feel good about himself

Personally, I'd just get rid of the mustache, put on a shirt that shows your arms without making you look vain and post a new picture. I bet it would do a lot better.

You wanted feedback, good or bad

Thank you! Right now I want to collect some feedback, thanks. What do you mean by a shirt that shows my arms? All my clothes are pretty much the same ones I had before, and I wore all smalls and extra smalls. I'm in college so I can't really afford to replace them, so I struggle to make them fit, tee shirts and polos that is, and I fill them out so much that they look really stretched, and the arms and chest look almost skin tight. How should I dress for my body now? I'm used to dressing for a small guy?? Please if any one can give me more comments!!!?? I want all the advice and oppinions I can get right now on my body, my style, what I should work on, even if you think I'm ugly! Anything!

Let's see a picture in one of these shirts. I just meant a short sleeve type of shirt instead of something like a long sleeve sweater.

You don't want all your shirts to be skin tight though. You might have to do some shopping. Try a second hand type of store, they often have them close to colleges.

Okay, I thought you were talking about those sleeveless shirts people wear sometimes, and wife beaters etc.
Oh yea, about the mustache, that wasn't really on purpose, I am just getting really hairy, and I forget to shave as often as I need too, and my mustache grows really fast. Thats another thing I'm getting worried about.

Oh yea, thanks Min O for your comments!!! Any one else? Critique?

When was the last time you shaved your chest? If it was any more than about 10 minutes before that photo, you aren't very hairy at all. That mustache didn't come in very thick and if you haven't been shaving at all, I would expect to see a full beard by the time your mustache came in like that. Did you shave your arms before that picture too?

Dude, you aren't nearly as hairy as you think. Now guys that need to shave their back twice a week... they are hairy. Guys that need to use a trimmer first before they shave because it is too thick for just a razor are hairy.

Yea, I did shave not long before that picture. Okay, look at the picture of me before, see how all I have is like a happy trail? That like all exploded during this time. It ran up my body to my neck and over my shoulders and all over my stomach. When I wear a tee shirt you can see that I have a hairy chest!!!

I can get a picture maybe if you want to see

sure

Do you have this guy beat?

I am also on there. http://www.hotornot.com/r/?eid=EUSYHUR&key=BWN

No, mine isn't black like that, or that long, but it encompasses more space than his, it goes across my chest, and on my shoulders. I want to post a picture, but this won't let me. I

.. have to go to practice, but when I get back I will try to upload it

Okay, it finally let me upload. This was my chest before I started shaving it. Is it bad? Or is it normal? Anyone can comment!

wow that picture came out big. You can actually even see that I was smaller even when this picture was taken, and that wasn't even a year ago. Altho I was quite a bit bigger than before. I guess I was probably 178 lbs here? The hair was just starting in my before pictures. Since I won;t be going around shirtless this winter should I let it all grow back in? or try and find a way to kill it. Its really frusterating, its hard to hide, it pokes out of my shirts.

I could barely fit into those jeans then
