July 2008 @ approx 192 lb (fat and only trained upper body for like 3 weeks
April 2009 @ approx 155 lb - doing major calorie deficit + weight training / jogging
April 2010 @ 170 lb
for more - see all photos taken in 2010 at my bodyspace below

Doesn't look like there was a lot of difference for just 15 pounds does it?
At 155 lb I felt good..but slightly underweight, felt dizzy all the time and my neck and face was thin). Although..... I had better calf definition and a nicer shape overall - despite less mass.
What do you think my body fat % was in 2009 and 2010 respectively?
What I don't like about the way I currently look is that I have fat storing around the stomach, lats and chest now and I hate it....but I know now that this is because I wasn't training hard enough or eating the right foods to stimulate enough muscle growth.
I know where I have gone wrong and have since educated myself on nutrition so I expect my gains in the next 2 years to be a lot better.
My only constraints for the future are money for nutrition (poor student) and lack of exercise equipment (only got a flat bench and some dumbells / barbell with a max possible weight of about 80KG on the barbell).
I am so determined to make progress though - I can't wait to earn some good money so I can.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the comments.
Ironically, I don't even do calf isolation exercises...the only training they are exposed to is
deadlifts
squats
running/walking - which is burning muscle if anything.
I think my calfs must have always been like that but only really showing well now that I am lower body fat %.
There are certain parts of my body which grow easier - notably biceps, calfs and forearms ....the rest require a lot more protein / food it seems...
And yes I'm working on trying to perfect my diet, this is always difficult.
