Hello everybody, i'm new this site and i have a few questions on getting started.
i read the topic on motivation because thats one thing i needed and lost la few years ago when i worked out for about 5 months and no results appeared on my body, i guess its cuz my fathers side of the family is over weight and i jus have those genes. but this time i'm trying to change that, i dont wanna be at risk for diabetes or anything else in the future, i want to get in shape. I'm 5'9 and weigh about 200llbs. so i'm not FAT but quite chubby and probably will get bigger...i have these sort of man tits that i really want to take off, what are some good excersises for that?
Also, everyones like "oh i wish i had your body weight, you could get big if you work out, dont shed the pounds, jus lift weights", but is that good..should i run every other day, and lift weights every other day?. is there anything i can take like pills or what not to help me get to the point i want to get at. and where i want to get at is just not having these chubby rolls, over here looking like the BUDA lol. I appreciate this site for being here and i thank any of you in advance for guiding me. glad i found this site through google. Hopefully i get some answers and start working it and gettin the confidence i need. Acne used to be my main issue..but thank god that i got rid of that, now being overweight is my main person issue. ALSO i have these things in my inner theighs called keratosis pilaris or folliculitis..i dunno exactly which one, i have to go to the docter but i heard being in shape helps from getting them. please people..guide me!!..thanks a lot!

EL JEFE,

Keratosis pilaris is quite harmless but it may persist into adult life. It is more common in those who are overweight and roughly 40-50% of people with keratosis pilaris have a family member or family history of this condition. It usually is better in the summer months and worse when winter comes around. However, it’s not a serious condition and it gradually goes away with time so don’t worry too much about it.

The rash is due to little plugs that are formed in the hair follicles by bits of kertain (which is the outermost protective layer of our skin). When these plugs get blocked, they have a sort of a raised appearance and are usually a bit red– similar to goosebumps.

As for treatment, there really isn’t a need for anything major. The simplest treatment is usually to keep the skin moist with moisturizes or emollients (so to prevent excessive dryness). Also as soap tends to dry the skin out, use non-soap cleansers to wash yourself.

Go see your doctor for more infor but just letting you know that its nothing serious so dont stress about it too much Smile
