maybe when I get thin I can start doing some weight training so I can look like that.

I think it's easier to build muscles while you're a bit heavier. I find it quite hard to maintain low body fat and be gaining muscle at the same time.

Basically, don't put off muscle building until you're thin.

Talk to a trainer if possible. But I'm pretty sure at the very least you'd need to do BOTH cardio and strength workouts consistently while on a high protein/low fat diet.

I did it, and bodybuilding is one of my Aspie special interests. It's a lot of work, and a HECK of a lot of self-discipline, and if you have any hormone or metabolism problems, you need to resolve those in order to get the maximum results.

I'm not as big as that guy, but I have a good balance of low body fat and lean mass. (6 feet at 185 lbs and <5% body fat). My avatar pic is current.
