When I Started:
Mar, 2009
How I Started:
I decided to take control of my body last year and have lost over 30 lbs since. After having suffered from an eating disorder in the past, I knew that I needed to do things the "right" way this time. I initially just started eating healthy and hitting up the gym but after reading Muscle & Fitness magazines I have made it part of my everyday routine to educate myself on health and fitness and take the necessary steps to transform my body.
Why I Love It:
I absolutely love the adrenaline rush after an intense morning workout. I get a feeling of euphoria knowing that I am taking the necessary steps to transform my body and achieve my goals. Seeing the results of all of my hard work, sacrifices, and dedication makes me feel unstoppable!
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by reading Muscle & Fitness magazines and educating myself on what I need to do to obtain the results that I am striving for. Knowing that I am maintaining a healthier lifestyle and seeing the "fruits of my labor" also makes me want to keep going.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing over 30lbs and getting a stronger, leaner, and healthier body has been one of my major accomplishments. I am particularly proud of the change in my lifestyle and the way I perceive health and fitness.

Goal (Long):
ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH MY WEIGHT & IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR ME TO TAKE CHARGE & DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! LAST YEAR I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & I SAID TO MYSELF "I'M WAY TOO YOUNG FOR THIS & NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN MY LIFE!" NOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO LOSE 30 LBS & REGULATE MY BLOOD PRESSURE, I WANT TO LOSE 30 LBS MORE BY SEPTEMBER (MY 26TH BIRTHDAY & 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH MY BOYFRIEND), GET TONED & FIRM, & LEAD A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. I'M DETERMINED... NOTHING CAN HOLD ME BACK!
