Title: A few more questions about T.
Post by: Dominick_81 on February 08, 2011, 06:28:54 PM
When you get on T, when does the acne come? You have notice you gain weigh or lost weight since being on T?

From watching YouTube vids, I've seen guys not get acne at all, I've seen some get it 6 months in, and I've seen some get it immediately.

I've seen guys say they gain weight, but it's mostly muscle mass weight. Muscle weighs more than fat.

I havent really gotten that much acne, maybe a little bit of acne recently.  i didnt have much acne for my last puberty either.

I have gained a bit of weight, a few pounds (not fat either)

Gaining Muscle will be good. I'm looking forward to getting muscles on T.

I've seen some guys on youtube slim way down after being on T. Once I get on T I'm going on the treadmill at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I'm hoping b/c of the muscle gain it'll be easier for me to lose weight.

didn't get much acne at all, just the occasional pimple....
And I've actually lost weight, but then, I haven't been eating uncontrollably. :P

I've had less acne but it's shifted to odd places. Get a lot of pimples along my jawline instead of where I had been getting them.

Weight... I had lost some the first month while working out hard but gained some back since I've been sick. It's all about how hard you work I think. I noticed within the first 2 weeks that I was able to gain muscle way faster.

More pimples started at around 2 months. No major weight loss or gain so far (about 3 months).

I guess it differs for everybody and I don't know what's going to happen to me once I get on T which scares me.

I didn't get a ton of acne. I'm more prone to breakouts now if I don't take care of my skin but it isn't that bad. I gained about 10 pounds in muscle.

sorry for budging into your topic...but i wonder if other guys who answer can say how much acne they had during their first puberty also, as compared to this puberty?
First puberty I didn't have much or any. My chin a week or so ago (http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg5jbm0TxD1qal7xro1_500.jpg)

I had mild acne first time around - since being on T I'd call it mild to moderate. I tend to break out right before spurts of hair growth, so I try to keep a positive spin on it. It hasn't been unbearable by any means. I just have to be diligent with my skin care. I get really really greasy now (a lot of guys do) so I can't be lazy without getting a rash of pimples as punishment.

As far as weight.... I definitely put on a few pounds after starting T (mad crazy appetite), but 9 months in I seem to be slimming a bit, even tho the scale isn't going down. I have put on a ton more muscle mass which is nice.
