I joined the gym for my birthday to loose weight. I had never touched a piece of exercise equipment in my life. Everyone there was very encouraging and helpful to me, even though I felt out of place.
Why I Love It:
Working out has built my self esteem. It has taught me discipline and gives me a euphoric feeling. I have always been overweight but after two children my weight was really out of control. People really treat you differently when your overweight, but on the inside you are the same person.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look at old pics sometimes when I was at my heaviest. I never want to experience that again.
BB Accomplishments:
Loosing 120lbs and changing my life!

It all started 6 years ago when I weighed 240lbs. and a size 22. I changed my diet and joined the gym as a birthday present to myself. Within 8 months I had reached my goal weight of 120lbs and a size 5. While I have kept off the weight and do pretty good with my eating habits I have fell of the workout band wagon. After looking at all the great pics on this website I have decided to get busy again. Right now I am 140lbs and in a size 7, my goal is to to get rid of the flab and build some muscle.
