First Cycle, Questions, Inspiration, Motivation.

I thought that I would take the time to share my story with some of you, in the hope that I too can be an inspiration to some, as many of you have been to me.

I am 19 years of age, and have always had a problem with my weight. Losing a parent was possibly the start of a never-ending battle with being overweight, and up until last year, it was a battle that I thought I would never win.

A combination of "comfort-eating", an extremely poor diet, and a lack of any sort of will-power to lift a single weight or run a single stride resulted in a ballooning teen that would be more at home in an advert for a MacDonald's commercial than in the pages of a fitness magazine. I was bad, and the sad thing is, I didn't really care.

Then came my Matric year, and yes, there was a girl. I had never before felt what I had felt for her, and then inspiration came. I started gyming, running, exercising, and amongst all that, I discovered that I had a talent for rugby. A new diet, schoolboy rugby training, and a deep found urge to win this girl saw me transform completely.

Never had I felt so good, so proud, or so confident with who I was. Consequently, I ended up "getting the girl" only to later have it all taken away again.

I started University this year, Engineering, so time was precious, and whatever little time I did have, I (regrettably) did not spend training. The girl broke up with me, and once again, the weight ballooned.

It was as though I had forgotten every valuable piece of information I had learnt over the previous year.

A month ago, I made a conscious decision to change my lifestyle, to change the way I had been living, and to stop feeling sorry for myself and man up a bit. Then, I stumbled upon this website. It was as though I had had a revelation.

Now, I know that many of you may not approve of what I am about to say, but I urge you to please read further on, and understand where I am coming from. I was introduced to AAS, ironically, through a "Personal Trainer" at gym. I decided, not on the spur of the moment, but rather at a "caculated risk" to start using. It was this forum in particular that helped me make my mind up about what to use, how to use, and the changes that needed to be made.

I also discovered the secrets of a PROPER diet. A month later, and a few pills of Dianabol, along with some Test Prop, and I have lost 10kg, and gained the world of confidence (and some serious muscle and strength gains!). I hope to always live this way, a healthy, responsible lifestyle, one in which I am no longer afraid to take my shirt off in public, on in which I no longer feel inferior to all the other "men" around me.

My hope is to be an inspiration to you all, as guys like "Saizen" have been to me. I respect and admire men like that, as they too know what it is like, how it feels, to feel "inferior."

I will continue to post, hopefully with serious "transformations, inspirations and motivations." Thank you to you all for all your guidance. Without you guys, I'd still be sitting here behind my computer screen a fat loser. Make way, 'cause I am coming through fast.

Respect.

There's few things that come close to the feeling when beating the ultimate challenge - Yourself. But now you now what it feels like and im sure you have experienced the "confidence spike" so many people look for. Good stuff bro........Dont stop challenging!!

I hope you don't plan to grow anymore, because your bones are now capped. You will never get taller or experience that final growth spurt many men get between 18 and 22. I also hope you never plan to be huge because you've wasted your earliest cycles in getting to where you could naturally.

It's sad you gave up so easily and chose the easy way out, but I'm glad your happy. Happiness and motivation are important in life. Good luck
