This is good that everyone gets to post there stories like this, I think its great that more and more people are getting into shape these days.

So my story, when i got to high school i weighed probably 160 and i don't remember height, but i never lifted a weight in my life, i wasn't really fat but i had some pudge.

I joined Golds Gym one afternoon (Sophomore Year) and started reading up on proper form and how to lift weights correctly. That 3 week mark, and i know everyone sees it too is the kicker, when you really notice your hard work paying off. Currently I am 5"10 at 185lbs(pushing for 200) with a little bit of fat on me because i've been slacking off alot lately which has to change.

People have to understand that its a combined effort of everything. You need to lift weights, do light cardio, eat correctly(not healthy, i never said that). But what people don't understand is they don't have to bust their ass to do this.

I started to realize this recently that if you are looking to gain a good amount of muscle and cut fat, you need to lift as heavy as you can, do 15-20 mins of light cardio after, and eat high protein, high carbs after your sessions. Low calorie, or high depending on what you want from it.

Key Lesson: Please do not follow fad diets, if you excersize, carbs are your best friend. You have to watch out though, too much and you will be forced to take a 2hr nap, no joke

edit* and I have thought about vegitarianism for a while, because of the whole cruelty to animals and the better digestive system, but i learnt it was just the food chain and it is what it is. Being a vegitarian is very hard to substitute a good amount of proper protein that only meat can give you. Even protein shakes that people take can't come close to what meat gives.
