I looked a lot better, but there was definitely still flab. You exclude the possibility that other factors outweighed (no pun intended) the weight issue? We're talking > 55lb, so it obviously had a major visual impact. I don't believe it should have had no impact. Maybe minor, but for it to make no difference says something about other factors I think. when I was young I wasn't overweight at all, and had exactly the same experience. I agree that the profile is like that. You have very little time to catch somebody's attention.

Do not underestimate the confidence and well-being you can get from getting into shape. And it doesn't take a long time - perhaps 2 or 3 hours a week at the gym or at home, exercising and eating right. That alone can distinguish you from a lot of other people who are either unfit, or fit but lacking your other qualities (I am assuming: intelligence, a good job, etc....) Getting yourself into shape is sort of like a magic bullet. To do it you either need to be, or will become: driven, motivated, strong-willed and with the capacity to see things through to the end. The improvement acts as a positive feedback loop. I can't recommend it enough.
