My first serious boyfriend would always pay me the same "compliment" all the time which was that I "looked like a cute little boy". He was bisexual so he kinda meant it as a turn-on for him, but he was also a SERIOUS ASSHOLE who was messed up on all levels, so I am sure in some aspects he meant it as a jabbing insult as well. His opinion is dirt beneath my feet, in my opinion I looked more like a cute sex kitten. I rocked short hair. ;]

Ewe, what a jerk. You seem too sweet and thoughtful to be with someone so cold! I'm glad that you put him and his no-good opinions behind you And you know, only the prettiest faces can rock short hair! Hottt and edgy

Sounds so simple yet so difficult at the same time .... I hate stuffing myself to be full, and I am not a snacker but I am fully committing to this! I went out and bought a mixed nut case. Before I wasn't fully committing, because I didn't want to overeat on days that I wasn't working out due to a fear of "getting fat" that I have been having to snuff out, and I wasn't getting anywhere gain-wise.

Honestly, I am in the exact same boat. I lost my appetite a couple years ago and have never really gotten it back. I really have probably one of the world's most pathetic appetites. Everything I eat I am forcing myself, OR if I am lucky, my body clock will go off when it knows it is time to eat (because I have been forcing myself to eat so regularly in the past year) but that "hunger" only lasts for maybe the first and second bite. It is not real hunger. It is just a body clock, if you will. Your diet is 90% of your results. So you won't regret committing to this, as it makes a HUGE difference! And, it only gets gradually easier with time. I promise And you say that before you were worried about snacking on your "off" days would make you fat... you know now that is not true, right? I keep up my diet every single day because my muscles are recovering from my workout and then growing throughout the week until my next workout! You need it all week long to feed your muscles as they grow. But from the sounds of it, it seems that you know that now

I have rounded up a friend who is going to go over to the weights section with me and scope it out. Thanks for all of those helpful links!! I haven't had a chance to check them out yet because I am trying not to fall behind in my classes, but I always seem to find the time to research my own hobbies in there too so I should hopefully be all read up with those by the end of the week!

Going to take it sloooww. Not too slow.

Great thing to have a friend! You guys can have fun experimenting with the machines together. It also helps to read the directions on the machines and/or watch others on the machines. Or, write down the names to the machines and google them when you get home and watch a youtube video of how it is done. There are so many ways that you can choose to learn. And yes, take it slow! Especially when you are feeling overwhelmed like you are. You've got the right idea

Oh! And I meant to mention in my last post to you but I wanted to ask you how much protein you take in one sitting? And how often do you take your protein throughout the day? Because that is a huge aspect of the figure builder's diet that is really important....

Mkay my pics and my program. I wasn't going to post them yet (I changed my mind like 3 times) but it seems fitting to do so with my program.

I'm just going to post what I am taking and not bother with what time, because I don't know what will work best yet.

CURRENT SIZE - Large 32B / Small 32C
STARTING SIZE - Regular 32B
Height - 5'7 1/2
Weight - 117 lbs (?)

WOW your upper body reminds me quite a bit of my own! Your breasts are pretty much exactly the same size as mine and a similar shape (although I think your poles are higher while mine are lower). And look at that flat tummy!! You have a very nice, curvy body (at least from what I can see). From the looks of it, your body looks healthy and like you can totally take on weight lifting AND booby growth! You may be an ectomorph (based on your description of yourself), but you still clearly have enough meat to work with! And you have a fantastic diet, btw. I have not heard of L-Theanine as a sleep aid until now. Maybe I should look into that as well (I have VERY irregular sleep patterns...).

Your program looks great and so do you, especially just for starting off! Only fantastic results will come of this
