My story, though, is a little different from the majority of people in this thread since I started off overweight as opposed to "underweight". Nonetheless, I hope those struggling either to lose or gain weight can find that discipline, hard work and persistence will take you closer to your goal...no matter how hard it is, just keep going!

I was quite a heavyweight back then weighing around 280-290 at my maximum!

Spoiler!

Before:





Then one day I just decided to do a bit of cardio and I felt awesome after. One thing led to another and I decided to start doing some weights because, while the cardio was great and helped tremendously in keeping weight off, I felt I was lacking quite a bit in strength. I especially noticed this lack of strength when I started Kyokushin Karate to increase the intensity of my cardio regime. Stamina wise, I was able to go rounds and rounds but lifting weights added power and even more stamina!

After:







And a couple shitty quality back pictures because everyone else is doing it, hahaha.

wow, great job man, glad your hard work paid off! what are you weighing in now? and when were the before and after pics taken?
