Location:

Occupation:

High School:
When I Started:
May, 2007
How I Started:
I have been working out on and off for several years, but that all got put on the backburner for a few years by a demanding job. I have changed jobs and started working out with a vengence in May 2007. Got into kickboxing a year and a half ago and am totally addicted to it. Luv'n it!
Why I Love It:
I am amazed by the transformation I have been able to achieve. I believe you can achieve any goal if you really put your mind it. It also helps to enjoy it while your at it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I love reading about other BodySpace members' progress/motivation and just seeing my own results keeps me going. I like to reward myself when I reach goals too, though not through food. Maybe a hot new pair of jeans or some new workout gear!
BB Accomplishments:
Hey, I lost a lot of weight on my own! That's significant!

Maxing out at 175 lbs. Front - Grey Cami messy hair
The photos taken on this vacation were the catalyst that got me going on getting into better shape. In this photo I maxed out at 175 lbs.
Here's a more recent almost full body shot. I've actually put on about 3 lbs, oooohhh big deal...so I'm not as lean as I could be, but seeing muscle in shoulders, arms and WOAH...are those quads? Some in glutes too, but you can't see that here, ha, ha.
