Well, Im up here in Stoke-on-trent, last year of uni. i'm 21 and yes I'm male, hmmm I used to be 18stone 10lbs, back in March 2003, and am now 13 stone 6 pounds and am currently dieting trying to hit the 12 stone something mark!!

Steve and I know each other through MSN, and through his great online shopping services (sorry for the subliminal advertising there bud!)

What about everyone else?

Well I am 22 and live in Devon in between Torquay and Exeter - It's actually an alright place to live, not as rural as most people think.

I started training about a year ago mainly because I was fed up with being skinny. I was 5ft 11 and weighed 10st. Possibly train too much each week, I go to the gym at least 4-5 times a week, feel shitty if I don't.

When I started seeing results I got carried away with what I ate, eating too many bad fats and junk food. I now weigh 12st 8lb but with a bit of flab around my stomach that i am trying to shift, once gone I want to tone up for the summer.

I only found this site through Steves Nutrition. He has given me quite a bit of advice in the past.

What about everyone else, what are you trying to achieve

Hiya mate

Im actually at the gym in Stoke itself round the corner from the uni grounds, perfect for me!!

Sounds like you got a solid backup for your experience there, in terms of bulking. I find its always wise to have someone experienced help you along!

Hi guys, I'm from the manchester area and have been into bodybuilding for about 18 months.
I'm 33 years old 5'7 and 13 and a half stone and still bulking.
Not really into chatrooms but this one is great with some good topics, i always think people learn from other peoples experiences.
