I'm a regular over at http://ironstrong.org, started lifting weights regularly in April 2011 after I lost 85lbs of weight. I started modestly, with just the bar on most exercises, and as of March 2012, I'm able to lift:

  • Squat: 455lb
  • Bench: 265lb
  • Overhead press: 155lb
  • Deadlift: 475lb

I'm still improving, both in the amount I can lift, and the amount of fat I'm carrying around. The lifting is there to support my preferred sport: martial arts.
