I had been going to the gym on and off for the past couple of years, but I didn't really know what I was doing and my diet was pretty atrocious back then. I started reading a few articles a while back and decided to really take things seriously around Sep 2012. I joined a different gym with better facilities and I've stuck to my routine ruthlessly for the last 6 months. I've started to see some gains in my physique, but I'm only at the beginning, I know I've still got a hell of a long way to go.

I love the sense of achievement from a workout, the idea that you're doing something positive for your own body and the confidence that comes with it. Overall I'd say I'm a much more positive person since I've begun working out and disciplining my diet.
