I got muscle definition tatooed on my arms and torso. I'm thinking about getting a bicep tatooed on my forehead and telling women it's from all the thinking I do.

Stopped trying to dress down as much as I could get away with at work environments and decided to dress nicer than required at my current company. I've been doing so since I started about 1.5 years ago and think in general I'm treated as more professional by management. No clue if it was a factor even a little but I did just get promoted today ;)

Grew long hair. It kept the suits and tight asses away at work, resulting in a much more peaceful work environment. I gave it up and currently have a buzz cut (easy to cut on your own for free and less combing/washing), but some people mistake me for one of those nutball go getters who stay until 8PM. Very annoying.

It hasn't really affected my life that much, but I've gained about 50 pounds in the last 18 months or so of lifting/eating. After getting rid of my glasses via eye surgery I look like a total different person then 3-4 years ago.

Hit the gym, lost weight, bought some nice clothes, found a wife, had a kid, no time for gym gained the weight back, no money for nice clothes.

Stopped shaving regularly. No, seriously... I didn't quite look my age during college, and having a shadow all the time seems to help. ;)

I started eating healthy and working out. I dropped from 137 to 130...and I'm 5'11". I look like a concentration camp victim. I need to work on the bulking up.

How much do you weigh? I'm assuming you're a guy? I know a few girls who weigh almost as much as me and have really nice bodies.
