were you fat or skinny before you got involved in bodybuilding?

Fat, 5'7 at 170 (36 waist). But now I'm 5'7 at 200 (same waist). Not much of an improvement but my body has a shape & it's harder/broader/minimally tapered.
It was odd though, no one believed I was 170 and now no one believes I'm 200. Anyway I think after the summer I shouldn't have to worry about a 10+ bodyfat %.

I was 6'1" 160, 8 years ago.

I was pudge, but I've always been stronger than virtually everyone I know. The reason for the "Beefy" in my name, lol.

Now I'm about as big as I reasonably need to be (or close to it), and my sole quest is going to be getting as lean as possible the first part of this year.

Word. I'd say I'm sitting at 16-19% BF, not cool, but I've gotz weapons ready for the battle against fat this year and I'm hoping to get to the leanest I can be, winding up at 215-230.

I used to be a fatboy for a long time, and constantly struggle with my weight till I started weightlifting.

Managing my weight is easy now.

About 165lbs at about 10% BF 16 years old.

I played both soccer, tennis, rugby, basketball, baseball, badmington, skiing and a bunch of others. I was always the athletic type.
