Don`t laugh, a pic of me...

Been a member for a few months, never post much. Learned a lot, thanks to all the bros and sis here. Any way, here is a pic, not great, but a pic nonetheless. Stats, 6' 0" 250 lbs. 46 yrs. old. Been training for 15 months after a 12 yr. hiatus. Have Addisons`s Disease and Hypothyroidism, diagnosed 20 yrs. ago. Been on HRT for 6 months, 200 mg of test cypionate twice a month for 3 months, 200 mg weekly for the last 3 months. Never done any gear other than the Dr. prescribed HRT. I know I am still fat, but am working on that. Any way, thanks for all the info and inspiration.

Best regards,

Lycan

Welcome bro, props to you for posting a pic, I am still building the courage! Do you feel that training helps cope with addison's? I have a friend who has it and I'm trying to talk him into training with me for general health. Any thoughts? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Yes, training can only help with Addisons`s Disease. Even when I didn`t have time to weight train, I was always active physically. I have always taken a lot of vitamins as well. I am healthier than most people that have nothing wrong with them, very rarely sick. The biggest thing with Addisons`s is with the meds, namely cortisone. It keeps you in a catabolic state, gains come harder for me than most. Having hypogonadism or low testosterone, doesn`t help either, but the HRT has made a BIG difference. I wish your friend the best.

Best regards,

Lycan

Considering what you are going through man you look good. be proud of the fact that you already look better than a lot of younger guys. It only gets better with time my friend. Thanks for putting up that pic. now it's time to train!!!

THANKS oldfella, I appreciate the kind words. You and the brick are my source of inspiration. I agree, everything will improve with time. I have a long way to go, but I am determined to reach my goals. Got any recent pics of yourself, like to see how you are progessing. Gives me something to shoot for. Thanks again.

Best regards,

Lycan
