Calling those pictures "bad" is an insult to a lot of people. I have been very careful to be respectful on EF so I am going to say this nicely, because someone needs to. You may be in "bad" shape for you, but to most people you are in great shape. I am not arguing that there is not room for improvement because there always is. However you maybe should have addressed that. No I am not a fat ass (however I used to be) and nothing bothered me more than people whining about great physiques as a way to get attention and fish for compliments. You look great, so what, a lot of other people do too. Improve sure, but don't just post pics and call them "bad" so that everyone will disagree with you and tell you how good you look. There are better ways to go about getting attention. Post your pics and try to improve sure, but something tells me this thread was posted to help your self esteem. I am not trying to flame you, just stating the obvious. Good luck with your program.
