Well, I've had no problem with weight, I weigh about 170lbs, and I use machine weights all the time, I bench at least double my body weight and last time I did leg squat I did 500lbs. I am very cut in the abs and arms and I just do sit-ups and push-ups every other day, if that. I am not consumed with this like some of you guys are, I eat whatever I want and don't worry about anything. Don't let a diet change your life. Let your life be your life.
