All right,my turn.
This is me 15 years ago (28 years old) at 169 pounds. I worked at a tire shop at the time doing truck and tractor tires, so that kept me pretty skinny. The only form of cardio I did back then was getting my heart pounding by drag racing the car that I am leaning against in the picture. Unfortunately, what really got me weight down at the time was the stress from my divorce.
This is my now picture at 198 pounds right after my first metric this summer.
