I'm sure there are others in my boat.
Started lifting in high school, lifted harder in my early college years and eventually was full fledged into bodybuilding. At my peak I got up to 200 lbs and maintained 4% body fat. That may not be big for some frames, but it was very respectable for my smaller frame. I miss the feeling of being that big and I definitely miss the weight I used to be able to push. Being an idiot, I let a relationship get in the way of it and lost everything I gained.
So, a few years later I'm back in the gym. Been back for a few weeks and it sure feels great! It's tough to be happy with where I'm at some days I'll admit. I'm not sure I'll ever be bench pressing 430 lbs again... bummer. I don't think I have the time or the budget to really approach it properly either.
Anyone else ever regret getting out of it? Did you get back into it later on?
