Well done man!
I'm another success story I suppose - I was always skinny despite going to the gym regularly. I was muscular and toned, but no real weight or bulk to me. At 5'10" tall, I weighed just under 11 stone (about 150lb/68kg). I realised eventually that it was my diet and the type of lifting I was doing (fixed weights suck btw).
For a solid 3 months I was lifting heavy free weights every other day (benchpress was my fave), eating lots of carbs before going in and then eating lots of protein to rebuild the muscle the next. I didn't even touch a drop of protein supplement - just ate lots of fish and red meat.
I managed to put on over a stone of muscle (now weigh 12 stone 2lb) and look a lot better for it. I can benchpress around 100kgs, but tend to lift ~85kg frequently to keep in shape.
Remember this rule for lifting - lots of little for toning up/stamina, little of lots for bulking up/power.
