Started back my senior year of high school(04'), and back then I was only 135lbs and 5'11. I ended up loving it and I was almost 190lbs by the end of the year which was insane since I heard it was hard to gain that much weight so fast. I was on and off since school, but hit a big plateau once I started my current job. from the time I was 20 until march 2010 I didn't lift, then I did p90x for a little over a month and went from almost 200lbs(fat) to 185. then I hit another small plateau and didn't workout until august. I did slim in 6 with my fiance to just lose weight, and i went from 185 to 165 by October. now I'm back to try and gain what I lost in muscle. I need motivation myself so I've turned to this site for assistance in my accomplishments.

the satisfaction of seeing how healthy I look and feel.
