You over doubled your weight ... wow!

I haven't been at it nearly as long as you (probably about 5 years semi seriously now) but I started because I just wanted to be healthier, look good, feel good, etc ... but then I got addicted to getting stronger and it's been one of my passions ever since. I still have a long way to go but if it can be done for 30 years then I guess I have a while to get there. lol

It's definitely affected my life positively. I used to be the scrawny/lanky guy. Now I'm finally filling out for my height. It also really shows up now that I'm out of university because a lot of people stop trying after university and I feel like I just keep getting better.
