This is me when I was going through a very long and difficult divorce. My divorce diet consisted of anything I could afford - which wasn't much at the time. Started training about a year and a half after this pic was taken.

245lbs - getting thicker in the midsection, but MUCH stronger in all my lifts (not sure why the pic is so tiny... oh well - click for bigger image).

I weighed in at just under 200lbs here. I've since gained about 20lbs and strength has improved dramatically.

This pic was taken during an intense yard work day (not usually a part of my weekly training schedule). Scratches and bumps on my back are war wounds from trimming the hedges.
