I was 17 and I was in the weight room of my gym and I didn't know anything about lifting. I decided boldy to try to bench press. I put on 135 for the first time ever lifting wieghts and I dropped it on my chest. I was horribly embarrassed as a bunch of nearby guys lifted it off my chest and onto the rack.

I was determined to never let that happen to me.

I also was 21 and 5"11 and 250 pounds. I stared to read muscle and fitness and look at all the bodybuilder pictures. I decided i wanted to be like them and as fit, cut and hard as them.

I started working out 2 times a day and lost 75 pounds and weighed 185 pounds after 8 months of dieting on protein and limited starchy carbs.

Bodybuilding and Working out is the ultimate antidepressant and good mood creator for me.
