Your face does look a bit more angular to me. You look great, by the way!
Haha you look way more masculine and filled out, so to speak. Congrats man, definitely lookin good.
thanks yall. i just hate the chubby cheeks im getting :(
Don't worry about it dude! They aren't as chubby as you think and it isn't taking away from your overall appearance, at least from what I can tell in the pics, and chicks seem to dig guys who are more filled out than super skinny. :laugh:

Don't worry, it should pass. Most guys have a chubby stage due to water retention or something. Mine was at 5 months and was definitely gone by 7.
Just like me you got bushier eyebrows! That was something I didn't even realize until I compared my two pictures.
My advice, cut out sodium in a big way as well as high fructose corn syrup and trans fats. That means no fast food or pre-packaged foods including frozen meals and canned soup and most sodas. I go to Trader Joe's and they have a very nice select of foods without those horrid ingredients that food manufacturers put in food to make it nice and easy for you to completely mess up your body. I love their root beer when I need to have that familiar bubbly drink.
Start to love lean protein, salads, fresh fruit and vegetables, skim milk, no salt nuts and olive oil. I get a lot of salad kits they sell everywhere which are so easy and convenient to use. I throw in some cut up chicken breasts and add some balsamic vinegar and olive oil and instant healthy meal. I do still have sweets and treats within reason as long as they are healthy and don't contain anything I don't want.
Listen I know it's difficult and it's a sacrifice but it comes down to whether you really want this or not. I know I sure do. I have sacrificed way to much not to do the very best I can to be as healthy as possible. After a little while it becomes second nature and you stop wanting the absolute junk that makes up the common American diet.
thanks i know i need to eat healthy i haven't even worked out yet i need to get on the ball game. i dont know what to do for muscle workouts like lifting i hurt both my shoulders when i was in the army
Start off lifting light and I would suggest using dumbbells...they allow for more free range of motion as opposed to bars or machines. You can even workout at home if you have/can afford a dumbbell set and know correct form/posture. Just take it easy, take it slow, and listen to your body. Add in some cardio a few times a week to lose body fat....but more importantly than all that is your DIET haha. A good, clean, healthy diet is one of the hugest factors when trying to shed unwanted fat and pack on lean muscle. So double it up; a good workout regimen + a good diet and throw in some willpower and you'll be ripped in no time flat!
