Don’t Ignore the Man Boobs on My Chest41.2 lbs LOSTso farOctober 12, 2007 by Israel Lagares | 20 comments
Yes, that’s right. I have man boobs. I may not be proud of them, but I have enough guts to show them off to the world. The only reason I am displaying my man boobs is because I want to feel pressured into losing them. I have had my man boobs, or moobs, for a few years now and I hate them so bad. I used to have boy boobs when I was kid too. Having to find ways to cover them up was one of the worst things in the world.
Then I started working out and they went down. They actually turned into muscle and I was proudly showing off my chest. That was until I let myself go again. Now I am here today with my man boobs, angry as hell for letting myself get to this point. There are certain shirts that I wear that cover them up, but most don’t. I have never entertained the idea of a Bro, a man bra, or of plastic surgery so that’s out of the picture. My only hope is to get in shape and lose these man boobs the old fashioned way.
Please don’t ignore my man boobs. I need the awkwardness and shame that they make me feel. That is the only way I can lose them. I found a site that had a bunch of guys submitting their man boob pictures, but I won’t link to it since it’s really disturbing. These guys embrace their man boobs and get off on it. I think some of them actually have implants. It’s kinda freaky and weird. I’ll give you a hint: It’s a UK domain name for man boobs. Back to the subject at hand: my chest. Mine aren’t as bad a those guys on that site. I can do push ups and bench presses but it feels like they will never go down this time around. I think doing cardio will help reduce them, but not fast enough!!!!!
Is it too late for me? I hope not. I don’t know what I would do if I had to keep my man boobs after I lost the weight. One thing I can’t stand is when I see a skinny guy with man boobs. Like what the heck dude, just do some damn push ups. It’s the most annoying thing in the world. Remember Chandler on Friends? Ugh. If you’re gonna have man boobs at least be fat.
I also want to get rid of my man boobs because of the possibility of developing male breast cancer. Many people think that it’s not as prevalent as it really is. It exists and afflicts many men each year. Getting rid of my man boobs can help me lower my risk of breast cancer and help get my self esteem up. Two birds with one stone. What more can you ask for?

Hi Israel - I think you were slouching quite a bit in that picture which would make them look worse.
You will definitely lose them through weight loss and exercise. Three years ago, I lost too much weight through stress and mine went down to nothing - and I am a woman. It will be easier for a man to lose them.
Keep going - I know you’re going to do it.
Catherine, i didnt mean to slouch, guess i was just a bit sad that day. lol. I am going to keep chugging along as best I can.
Keep the faith, Israel. My moobs have retreated, now I just need to build a little muscle to take their place. You’re doing great!
haha, moobs. it makes me laugh every time. Well the thing with me is that i will have the muscle as i lose the fat, or at least i hope.
NSFW!!! just kidding…one of the best ways to motivate yourself is to put your goals out front and center for all to see. You just did it a bit more literally than most do
whats NSFW? yeh, thats the whole point of my blog. To make my self accountable.
NSFW = Not Safe For Work
i get it now. not funny!! lol.
You really have high risk to get breast cancer man. To prevent this, you need to eat more soya bean and do more exercise. Take easy man.
Yep, thanks for the advice.
Not sure the anger/guilt thing is going work on the man-boobs.
Great to get clear on what you don’t want. Much more important to focus on what you do want!
You want to aim for goals not avoid problems or solve problems.
Problem solving never achieves much.
Acknowledge the problem. Get clear on what you want.
Visualise it, live it, breath it, expect it - put pictures of nice ripped, cut pecks all over the house.
Focus on the man-boobs and they’ll only get bigger!

damn when you put it that way it makes more sense. the power or positive thinking. I WILL HAVE MAN BOOBS NO MORE. I WILL HAVE A RIPPED CHEST!

Jay, just start! Get up and go for walks. Walking is so underrated. Find some support, tell you friends, coworkers, family that you want to get in shape. Ask them for help in keeping you in check.
