Well I've finally notched up 1,000 posts, all of them more spectacular than the last so I thought I'd throw this thread up so you can all pay homage to my greatness. 
In all seriousness though I'd like to use this thread to say thank to those on here that have helped me over the last year and give you all a progress update. Thanks to
(Silent) and Derwyddon for great nutritional info
Mreik for the great weight training stickies
Tony Mcclellan, Karky, Evo and Goergen1 for lifting tips, advice and insipration
Bipennate for being absurdly knowledgeable and explaining myofibril and sarcolplasmic hypertrophy to me which completely changed to way I trained
And I can't forget Chillen and Flyin Free, I don't always understand what either of you are saying but your dedication to your respective goals is inspirational.
Now for what I've achieved - I came to this site as a sickly 172lb skinny guy who just wanted to be less skinny in a years time and now I'm 221lbs and haven't had a days illness for over a year so I'm happy with what I've acheived so far. This was my intro thread after having already gained a few pounds http://training.fitness.com/new-member-intro/new-guy-uk-16561.html
Here are pics of me before and after
Before - 172lbs 32"waist 38"chest

After - 221lbs 36"waist 46" chest

The after pic isn't good as it makes my chest and arms look smaller than they are but you get the idea. I know my bf is too high right now but I'm happy with my progress and my lifts are improving a lot.
I think I only really started lifting properly recently so by the time my 2k thread comes up hopefully I'll be huge
