It seems that most serious fitness people I've met used to be some of the most non-fitness profile type of people.
For example...when I graduated highschool I was 5'10" and weighed a whopping 121 lbs. Being the skinniest guy every year up through highschool is what motivated me to start lifting...and eventually led me to anabolics. Now I just weighed this morning at 192 and am still 5'10". Lots of progress...
Now as I said, it seems most "super-fit" people come from this sort of background. Whether it be they were very overweight, or underweight, or just really out of shape.
Most middle of the road people rarely are serious lifters. Probably because they were either satisfied with themselves already, or they started lifting and since they were already in decent shape...never saw that kinds of dramatic gains and changes that us less fortunate individuals got to see. And because of those dramatic changes we got bitten by the bug.
So I ask, how many of you got your start because you fit an ugly-duckling profile?
