hi,
i am a italian guy, i have started going to gym when i was 15 to recovery from legs injury
my body started to growth ...i didn't take care about dieting..and that little i done were wrong information about nutrition..

i done this for five years...

last year was the worst period..becuase i didn't care about my food intake..(my parents have a Pizza Shop in italy and every evening i ate pizza)...One day I got on the scales and I've read 91 kilos...(200lbs)

i said to myself "it's time to change lifestyle "

from february i have started dieting..and i lost 51lbs in six month

now i am trying to do the best in the gym..to gain some lean mass..and to stay fit...

i need to say thank to Matt OGus because with his videos on you tube have motivated me a lot
