When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I started January 7, 2008 while participating in the Body for Life Challenge (http://bodyforlife.com/) and combining it with the National Discovery Health Challenge (http://health.discovery.com/) in three months I went from 270lbs to 250lbs. However, I fell ill and had to stop for a month and a half. Now I am getting back in the gym with a new sense of fight to be healthy!
Why I Love It:
I have to be honest; I do not like to work out. However, I understand it is a necessary activity that I have to make a permanent part of my life. (There, I said it with a straight face :-))
How I Stay Motivated:
I keep looking at the picture I took at the beginning of the Body for Life Challenge and the pain I still feel every time I try to do deep knee bends and how I can't because I have too much weight on me. Wanting to be pain free and healthy is what keeps me motivated. (And working around a bunch of slim health conscience women helps as well)
BB Accomplishments:
Just the fact that I get up five days a week at 4:30am to make it to the gym by 5am is a major accomplishment!

This pic was taken during a party at work in March of this year. This was the moment I realize I looked old and fat. I want to change. This is not me at all. This is not who I am dammit! Even she is looking at me like, "Emily What the Hell Happen to you"!
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Halle Berry (Before the Baby) and I would not want her body but the shape yes.

Which pro bodybuilder/fitness/figure competitor has the ideal physique? Why?
I really admire Alicia Marie and Mocha Lee because they have such positive attitudes during their interviews and healthy bodies. There physiques would be the ideal body I would like to have.
When I first discovered Bodybuilding.com I thought WOW I have finally found a place where people are friendly and willing to help you in your fitness goals with offering a little advice on training and nutrition. I even got the notion that I could make and possibly meet new friends. Well,...
