I put my heart and soul into this

Here for your eyes is about 8 months of dieting. It has been quite a road. I'd always thought I was big-boned, but as the fat started to drop, these little wrists and bones started to appear. Turns out I'm just your average Joe..I have played the yo-yo game of losing muscle and fat for about 4 years and I think this time I actually did a fairly good job. I did not use PH/AAS (altho it was damn tempting) and probably won't ever again. I used green tea everyday and caffeine every now and then when I needed a boost in the gym. THATS IT

Stats:
5'11
175 lbs, 31.25 inch waist
I'm probably somewhere around 10%. I could have dieted down more, but it would have probably required another break, and to be honest, I just couldn't take it anymore. I have not eaten out in a restaurant in 6 months. It has been really hard on myself, my girlfriend (the best), and my family.

No matter what you guys say about my skinny-ass, I'm happy b/c as the title says, I gave this everything I had...excuse me while I go out for cheesecake.

This is an old pic, but you get an idea of what I've looked like most of my life. Waist is somewhere around 38-40 inches.

Bobo

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Bobo for his plan. I was with him from Septemberish to December (notice the difference between the September 22 and November 15 pics). The best part of his programs is that you really see why people struggle to get any type of results...B/C doing things the right way IS NOT EASY! Anybody that it unsure about whether or not to sign up with Bobo, hopefully here is a little push in the right direction.

I think this pic is the best one to show off the rewards of your hard work. It deff showcases a great degree of muscularity on your part!

I just want to join these guys in giving you congrats on a job well done. I know it was a struggle for you, but you deff came out on top, and as frustrating as much of the experience was I bet you learned a sh!tload about not only the bodybuilding game, but your own body as well.


Also, to all you thinking of signing up with with Bobo, you can make as big of changes to your body as DieTrying has, supply the willpower and determination and Bobo will help you get there!

This is how you should feel and you should be proud. The changes in your physique are excellent.

No need to get lubed up for photos.
 



size is a fictitious character.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

Its funny...I went from thinking about getting into competeting to having a professional photographer do photos for me to having my GF take pics of me in my bathroom . I don't know if you guys can tell, but I did go through a whole precontest week (distilled water, etc.) for these photos. I've been told before that I hold a lot of water.
