What was the final straw that finally made you get /fit/?
how fat are you op
>>35629289
When my gf died because I was too much of a little bitch to tackle the guy with the knife.
I was bored
>>35629460
fucking lol if true m8, you better be shredded like batman with that origin story
>>35629483
I started taking boxing classes and then just sort of naturally got into lifting and other things from there.
when i realized that i will never get a gf because of how fat i am
Summer camp, this really cute girl I talked a lot with was able to touch her fingers around my biceps
She wouldnt be able to do anymore, but she lives in another country, i havent talked to her in quite a long time. Apparently she started doing drugs like heroin and shit, also is a bit whore, dont want her to end up bad :/
+ first type diabetes, tell me about your shitty genetics... had to be fit to live longer
Shiit.. now that i remember, i used to be a skelly
I was fat and eating McDs 2-3 times a day, double quarter pounder w/ large coke and fry each time, I just looked at myself and got disgusted.
People didn't treat me like a person. I was just something disgusting in their proximity. Getting /fit/ was a natural survial strategy. Now I've stopped treating them like people. Feels good.
>>35629289
Having no one clap for my graduation
I saw the scale reading 140kg.
>>35629289
I wanna look good before my prime is over, no need of a special reason to get /fit/.

I lift so I never have to fail again.
>>35629984
what the fuck. is that a real story m8? that's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
>>35629289
In college I had a 9/10 blonde gf even though I was a 6'0" 120 lb skeletor. One night out this stocky guy started talking shit to me in front of her and made it clear there was nothing I could do about it. Even though lifting =/= fighting, it shamed me into wanting to get big.
It wasnt until many years later that I discovered /fit/ and was motivated to leave curlbrodom and do compound lifts.
>>35630016
Yes. It was in silt so couldn't even use a lever. Never again.
>>35629984
Pls be fake
Losing all my friends and my doctor finally saying "you're class 1 obese". Also no one said happy birthday to me.
>>35629289
unconditional hatred for other people
I want to be better
>>35630038
;_; rip tortoise
I've been fit my whole life. Even when overweight I could still outplay most athletes. Fuck your assumption about me. Not everyone is like you, you know. Harsh words. Deal with it. (The truth?)
>>35629289

>>35629289
First a death of a family friend due to a congenital heart defect. His kid is like my little brother, so I encourage him to go to the gym in order to reduce the risk of him going the same way.
Then about 2 years ago, I got snubbed by my perfect women.
Not even for how I looked, but because she didn't want to deal with long distance, and neither of us were in a position to relocate.
I had a lot of pent up rage and sadness because of it, pushed her away, took it out on the weights, and started taking my fitness seriously after that.
>>35630092
To prevent yourself from getting raped, our do you want to be fit enough to rake others?
>>35629874
I will clap for you now, brother.
My gf of five years left me. She didn't say it was because I got fat, but I'm sure that didn't help, and I definitely wouldn't be able to meet anybody else in that condition.
30 pounds gone, 20 more and I'll be back to my fighting weight.
>>35629984
NO.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
That poor tortoise ;_;
Bought a lake house. Just don't want to frighten people when I take off my shirt and reveal my Gollum-power level.
120 to 155 so far.
I've given up on dating. Just want to look as normal a possible.
Was called fat from age 6-15
One day my mom asked me if I want to go the gym with her, I was bored so I did.
4 years have passed, going to start my first cycle soon.
>>35630163
Thank you brethren
>5/10 girl rejected me for my dyel friend
a year later and 60lb lighter, had to replace almost all of my clothes, thank god for thrift stores 2bh
1yr gym anniversary is in 4 months, hoping I can be 1/2/3/4 by then, if not higher
I was sitting down and reached over to tie my shoe and my fat belly was in the way.
I pulled out my gun, screamed ENOUGH and started dieting that day
I've lost 45lbs since September.
>>35629874
Began boxing at eighteen. Realized 145lbs wasn't enough to do much in the real world. Almost 180lbs now, and still haven't filled me in frame.
When I graduated I walked onto the stage and I heard only my mom clapping. Then I looked to where she was and saw my dad doing the kind of "hush" motion because people were looking at her.
:/ Mfw their self-image meant more to them than clapping for their over-weight son.
>People also snickered at me as I walked to the stage.
>Now I deadlift heavy ass weights but I still can't lift my memory from that day.

>Friend, myself and said girl went outside for a smoke
>Friend starts telling girl why I'm a nice guy and we should date
>Girl says and I quote "I want to date a man"
>Her words hit me like a ton of bricks
I swore to myself that I would never have a woman refer to me like that again. This is why I lift.
when i hit 245lbs
someone called me lazy
now they look like a fat fuck relative to me, but im not gonna stop training anyway.
Realized I couldn't walk 2 km without stopping because my feet hurt so damn much.
Then a looooong look in the mirror.
Was fit then tore my ACL and then I joined a frat and gave up on working out and started drinking my life away. People stopped taking me seriously because I wasnt ripped like everyone else and little did they know I was in great shape before joining. Big blow to my self confidence. Then I started noticing stretch marks on my stomach and decided that theres no way in hell Im gonna get obese. Graduated from college at 230 last august, at 215 now.
>>35630643
I had cut off contact from all people and was sitting in my room fat alone and a neet.
A girl I liked made attempts to find me and when she did we started talking. Somehow I told her not to have sex and drugs and she said she could skip the drugs.
I realized then I was going to get nowhere being a piece of shit and decided to become amazing.
My story might be a little more abstract.
It's a simple fact that the stronger you are, the harder you can work. A beginner squatting 135 1RM isn't working as hard as an expert squatting 600 1RM, because the beginner doesn't have as much muscle to work with. Basically, getting stronger allows you to lift harder, and exert more effort.
And you know how when you're angry, working out feels really good? Well, I knew this before I started lifting. When I was frustrated, I would flex isometrically, but it didn't give the same feeling as a knew squatting would.
Bringing the two points together, I lift to get stronger, so that when I'm frustrated, I can exert an effort proportional to my frustration.
To me, it's the highest form of artistic expression.
Having 29,5 BMI, it made me though if I should change my lifestyle and I did, now, after 7 months I can see my abs and I can lift almost 4 times what could when started.

That was the first night i picked up the dumbbells my grandfather gifted me. The bro from the party now lifts too. He now also has a wife while I'm a virgin with a bad case of oneitis.
About to turn 27. Be 6ft 110kg. Have a solid frame begging for some pristine gains. Been alcoholic for a few years and can feel the toll on my health. Finished of the last drops of cask wine ill ever taste and hit the gym for the first time.
Want to get a few good years of being fit and slaying pussy before my hair line receeds
>>35629289
I had a room in my hostel where i could see the public walking past
Started doing curls and acting like a douche to make the girls walking past smile/laugh
Next month realize I'm getting beginner gains wtf
Find /fit/, think its hilarious, fall in love
Now I lift to feel great about myself, I'm super hungry and driven with work, personal skills, learning, gains (all kinds) and having a good time
6 year anniversary with /fit/ this year, I love you brahs n-no homo

I want this body without steroid use. I've been lifting for almost 2 years now, after a few more months of bulking I'm doing a hard cycle of DNP and I think I'll be there.
Flew to Germany for a friend's wedding (one of my best friends in high school). Met up with a bunch of people I had not seen in years, we all went out sight seeing and even doing some shopping. During that time there were two thoughts I had...
1) I am to exhausted to walk around, I skipped a couple days of sight seeing lying saying I was sick because I was to sore/tired from walking.
2) When I was looking for a suit for the wedding and the sales person asked what I liked, I said "It doesn't matter, I won't look good in it anyways."
And that simple thing, where I felt like I had given up on myself was the last straw. I now vow that by time I have to go to my next wedding I will look good in a suit. I don't particular care to wear them around all the time, but I will at least once and like how I look.
That was August of last year, so far I am down 40 lbs with another 50 to go.
>>35629984
This sounds like a Japanese fable m8 holy shit this is dope, sorry for your loss though brah
RIP Tortoise breh

I know this feel.
Coming to terms with my sexuality.
I don't know if I'm more upset with my self for staying in the closet for as long as I did or that a I let my self get to almost 300 lb. thankfully I'm now about 220 hoping to get under 190 by my 23 birthday in august.

DNP doesn't have any long-term effects, unlike steroids. I know if you're under doctor's supervision and you take your PCT correctly you can minimize steroid side-effects, but the risk is too great. As long as you're not a complete retard DNP is completely safe. The only people that manage to kill themselves with DNP are skinny anorexic white girls who are too stupid to diet correctly.
I eat 2x my bodyweight in protein, take a fair amount of antioxidants, light cardio, and ate 1,500 calories. I lost around 2 months of fat that took 3 weeks with DNP. Feels like Hell though.
>>35631749
>Feels like Hell though
Your body wants 4k+ calories on DNP, but you're only eating 1,500, plus cardio. I WONDER WHY IT FELT LIKE HELL?

Nice work. Being hairy is a plus on /fit/. I recommend going for husbando mode. It makes all faggots jelly :)
>>35632396
> going for husbando mode
what does this even mean?
I completely ruined my life and had nothing else. Went from suicidal to lifting. I use the pain of the gym as a way to abuse myself. It pays off tho. It's all out of pain. I also take cold showers as a form of abuse, I eat very strict as a way to abuse myself. I figure it's pain and I can use it against myself but it'll pay off.
>>35632421

thanks for the support and fap material
>>35632492
no, you have to talk it away. social skills are the same as lifting, do some research and then keep doing it and you will progress

I did it for her
Looked at a scale and saw more than 100 kgs.
Also I'm 6"4' with wide shoulders and my friends were telling me I would be absolutely huge if I started lifting.
Down to 90 kg, I'm gonna make it
Also girls, had 2 girls who I always see mirin ask for my snapchat in the past 2 weeks, feels good

Met my relatives for the first time after my uncle died. My mom never got along with her family so we never met anyone beyond grandma. First off, they wouldn't come up here because it was too hard for the funeral, we had to take his ashes to them. What we greeted us was 14 electric scooters who wanted to avoid at all costs scattering the ashes to the winds as was in the damn will, because "keeping balance while going over uneven ground makes their muscles ache the next day". I am not joking, 8 of them gave that excuse. Fortunately my mom put her foot down and made them drive 200 feet off the road to do it.
Seeing that was my future if I didn't change made me start lifting. Haven't glanced back at what I was once. See them every couple of months now to serve as a nice fresh bit a motivation.
I hit 25 bmi and realized I had no muscle.

Man, I'm sure it wasn't something she thought twice about but it really got to me the way she said it. It was like there was no filter and she didn't want to deal with trying to negotiate with me. I really hate being in that situation and I never want to feel smaller or weaker than a girl

Agreed desu senpai. Most Chads I know are actually huge fans of DBZ.
>>35633120
just call her out for being a fatass

Nah senpai I'd really rather keep believing that women are whores and don't like nice guys.
Oh and that I'm way better than those Chads.

>>35633214
Really calling people a fag in a thread that is on the reasons they started lifting?
When I got a new job and multiple coworkers commented on how skinny I was, and some customer aswell.
Took me like half a year to get into lifting after that but started watching my weight pretty much back then

>>35629289
I was at a party in my late teens and talking to a girl I liked when basically this drunk chad who I disliked because he was a shithead showed up at the party. He got really wasted and then tackled me in the middle of the party and slammed my face into the floor, got a bloody nose and bloody lip. Then he put me in some weird wrestling move where he made me tap out and pretty much everyone just laughed at me and none of my friends did anything and the girl just stopped talking to me. I was pretty much completely humiliated that night.
Became pretty introverted and stopped talking to everyone from my hometown. Ended up just working and then moved to a new city and started working out a bunch. Going to school now and getting ripped, theres a muay thai gym down the street I want to start going to.
Part of me wants to go back and beat the ever loving shit out of that kid and pretty much everyone who watched and laughed, but I think it was the catalyst I needed as a kid who grew up scrawny and bullied on and off to finally change.
Seriously though, fuck that guy.
I was skinny fat my whole life. During grad school I gained 55 pounds in two years thanks to fast food and tons of booze. I became so fucking disgusted in myself. I was so ashamed of how I looked, especially around friends and coworkers. Only stupid people are fat.
I've been eating well, lifting and swimming for four months now and I'm down 35 pounds. Literally every aspect of my life better. I'm never going back.
my oneitis breaking up with me after we dated for two years
I realized I wasn't someone worth being with between being terribly out of shape (5'9" 220lbs) and being a fuckboy shitlord so I've been working to make myself a better person
I'm 187lbs now and dropping and much more pleasant to be around. still not where I want to be but I'm working for it
>tfw finally squatting 2pl8, OHP 115lbs, and running an 8-minute mile
w-we're all gonna make it
>>35629289
realizing that i can't do anything right. if i could just reach my goal by lifting weights and eating right. i'll be happy.
>>35629874
Jesus, dude.
>>35629289
I grew up fat and with a really awful mother who liked to point that out, so (fueled by a lot of misplaced Body Positivity culture) my obvious teenage reaction was to say "SCREW YOU MOM! I'M FINE JUST THE WAY I AM!"
I was not.
>>35630956
Are you me
Texting a grill and she asks me what I'm doing
>"working out"
>"lol what? You workout???"
Ah fuck that. I quit doing body weight shit, started lifting, changed friend groups, went to parties, girls now find me attractive, lost virginity, gained confidence. Life gets better, anons.

To be honest the only reason I'm still breathing is my anger at how humiliating that time was and never letting it happen again.

Probably have a couple screws loose, but I improved so much and I'm glad to be fit. Got a better paying job, moved away from toxic shitty roommates and started dating someone worth my time.
I'm not as fit as I was back then, but I find it addicting/enjoyable to keep up with work outs. Sometimes I miss that wild motivation, but it was almost like a beneficial mental break. I was pretty off my hinges.

>>35629874
No one clapped for me either, and I was chubby at the time. Is there any such thing as a bad date if you can learn and grow from it? Is there as much heaviness around getting fired or losing an employee when those experiences contain the seeds of your own growth? We're becoming a better version of ourselves, and we should be grateful for those experiences, even if they serve as a low point so that we may reflect and say "never again."
>>35634573
I might have phrased that wrong, she's more of an awkward memory. I'm not still thinking about her, it's more of sometimes I'll be reminded of her and naturally I'll think of the whole situation.
But I am going out more often. But my priorities are my Physique and school. First comes the money then the bitches
>>35634589
>>35630425

>>35632995
right
>>35634841
Pretty good
I finally stared at myself in the mirror and i felt true disgust, started in november and i'm 270 down from 320.
Gonna fuckn make it, it feels ridiculously easy to maintain my new eating habits now that i've been on it for 2 months, the aversion to sugar you develop after cutting it off cold turkey is insane.
I actually didn't have one of those moments of realization. I had always been chubby, but it was within reason. I had people ask me before whether I was fat or extremely fit (weird body type I guess. I had beefy arms and shoulders). I looked in the mirror on my first day of college and didn't really like what I saw, so I started.

When I first started lifting, somebody passive aggressively asked me if I was still doing my gym routine knowing full well I was. I'm still dyel, but I have muscle and strength. I bust my ass and am gonna make it broseph.
>>35634869
I moved out and took many side jobs.
Now I just need to finish college and get some therapy.
Maybe then I can move out more of my comfort zone.

Both of my parents are fat.
Mom and father and sister all fat.
I was born looking like I was 6 months old already.
People have told me that genetically I should be fat.
I refuse.
I am 6ft 150 lbs,and I plan on eating till I get to 175
>>35634589
Wat a gay story
>>35635091
holy kek isn't that a holocaust monument
My dad and younger brother started lifting before I did.
One day I was working and couldn't lift something. The girls laughed. Got a membership the next day and trained with my dad for a little bit.
I've been weak my whole life. No more.

Everything about being fat growing up built up to that moment
Now here I am a year later at 180lbs
>>35629874
I'm clapping for you in my heart, anon!
>>35635289
Breh I'm happy for you

Keep improving yourself anon, it's something you can never regret doing
I'm going through such a phase right now.
I'll eventually join my friends at the gym.. Though I am ashamed I won't be able to do reps with more than 30 kilos

I know that it is a shitty reason to lift, but I've never felt so bad in my life. I feel like I'm ruining my future.
>>35635541
Maybe you should, you know, study instead of lift, you fucking moron.
When I turned 30 and realized I needed to get banging tons of high school chicks out of my system before it got creepy.
