You are what you eat. IMO it's 80% eating the right stuff and 20% working out. I know plenty of people who's been going to the gym for years with not so good results. This is due to their eating style and alcohol consumption.
Yeah I can do more weight. I feel more fit now as well. Case in point: I went snowboarding before I started going back to the gym and I was exhausted after a few runs. The last few times I went riding I rode for 5-6 hours and felt fine (not tired at all).

As for food, I eat whatever is available at home (usually rice and toppings- chicken, beef, vegetables, etc.). Losing weight is such a task.
