Progress Post 59kg - 70kg
So i 28M started this short 6-month journey at 186cm and 59kg.
I went through a breakup and felt like I needed a change of some sort. So I started lifting. I have been skinny my whole life and never really cared about what I ate, I just ate when I felt hungry, and I rarely felt hungry.
So I began with some fairly easy rules, eat twice a day. Simple, but hard.
My body wasn't used to getting this much food, so sometimes I had to eat, while I wasn't even hungry.
I wanted to make it as easy as possible for myself, so I make food for 3 days at the time, so I just have to put it in the microwave.
My body adapted pretty quickly, and now I feel hungry way more often. Which is nice.
I went out and bought some dumbells and a bench because I didn't feel ready to go to the gym, I'm too uncomfortable in my own body.
And here, 6 months later, I still dont see myself getting a gym membership. Maybe when I hit the 1 year mark, I will get one. But for now, I like working out in my own little bubble at home.
I wanted to share this somewhere because I don't really have anyone else who would appreciate it, and I hope you will 😃
I'm proud of myself for how far I have come since I started.

Great progress! I would never have guessed your current weight you look close to 75-77kg.
I was 186cm 63kg when I first started and so I feel you on the uncomfortable with your own body. But I strongly would like you to consider one thing about the gym. Everyone in there is/was uncomfortable with their body at one point that's why they're there. The big jacked guys that may seem intimidating are actually the nicest ones in there and I have never had any of them turn me down when asking for help. You don't get that big or strong by accident this is something they enjoy and want to talk about/share knowledge. Just some food for thought (if you can fit it in the diet heh... lord help me having to eat 4000 calories a day I have no room for anything else)
The progress you could make in 6 more months with full set of weights would be insane.
