You seem like a really cool person man.. I am slightly overweight right now also.. I use to lift weights throughout 9-10 grade and then in 11th I stopped because I had to move to a different location.. Ever since I graduated I have been off and on but for the past 5 months I have been doing well.. I lift mon-wed-fri and do cardio on my elliptical tue-thur- sometimes sat.. Weight lifting relieves stress for me, thats mainly where I find motivation.
