For most of my life (which hasn't been that long, I am only 19 years old), I struggled with being overweight and I went through the stigma associated with it. I was physically and emotionally bullied, teased, made fun of, laughed at, and so forth. At my worst, I was 5'8, 195lbs at 24% bodyfat as a Sophomore in High School (~16 years old). Around this time, my first girlfriend cheated on me and if not having low self-esteem/confidence wasn't already enough, seeing her with this new guy everyday sent me into deep, severe depression filled with suicidal thoughts (ashamed to admit this). After a couple months of this, I decided it was time for a change.

 

I have made MANY mistakes in my training. From crash dieting from 195 to 155 in 3 months with a a horrible 1k calorie diet to a stupid "bulk" back from 155 back to 188 with a horrible diet where my calories were way too high for my metabolism, I've been on both ends of the full dummy spectrum. However, I am starting to take my training and dieting seriously, and I have seen results.

 

This is just the beginning.

Great job! Concerned with your comment about "just the beginning" though; I don't think you need to get any bigger or you'll look like you are on steroids (which is not attractive at all; scary actually.)
