Ex-chubby nerd trying to get fit

[davidlevington]

Hey all,

I used to be that kind of nerd that never played any sports, only read and played videogames. When I was 13, I was REALLY obese. A couple of years ago, I've decided to change my lifestyle and started eating healthier. 3 months ago, I started working out regularly (around 5 or 6 times a week), and I've already noticed some differences on my body.

These are my current status:

Age: 21
Height 1,83m (around 6 feet)
Weight: 84,4kg (186lbs)
Fat weight: 16,8kg (37lbs)
Body Fat: 19,9% (when I started, it was around 23%)

I'm also posting some pics (they are in a very bad quality because i was trying to take them all by myself with my cellphone). How would you guys classify me? Average, chubby, fat...? Where do you think I should work the most? Any hints are welcome!

Just want to say, good for you for making that change! I have no idea who you are. But I am so proud of you.
You are a fine piece of man.
If you wanted to work on something, I'd say do some side-to-side ab work like oblique twists, and lots of cardio.
Good luck

When you say "working out regularly (around 5 or 6 times a week)", what does that entail? If you're aiming to build muscle, lifting every day isn't the key. If you're trying to tone up and just lose fat, then 5 or 6 times a week is fine, depending on what you do. Don't burn yourself out though. You can lift twice a week and still look great. Your diet needs to be in check. That's more important than the time you spend in the gym.
