"Lose enough fat to fit back in my clothes and my posing suit! :p Win IMPC 2008 (online contest) in November! :D But more importantly - enjoy the journey, stay healthy and keep it fun! :)"
On Nov 4, 2004 I was 282.5 lbs due to 2 kids and sedentary lifestyle over 10 yrs. After deciding enough was enough as my 30th birthday approached, I started a journey to lose the weight and do whatever it takes to get healthy and transform my body to be fit, strong and lean. After losing 100 lbs between late 2004 and 2005, I started weight training on my own and then with help from friends and eventually found BB.com and started a log. These changes brought me out of my weight-loss plateau, changed my shape and most importantly, have gave me renewed enthusiasm, determination and motivation to reach my goals. I am loving my healthy, active lifestyle and the changes I have made so far. I look forward to continuing the next chapter of this journey!
Why I Love It:
Being a working mom and wife, I love working out because it gives me some "me" time, makes me feel great inside and out and relieves stress. it is also lots of fun! (never thought I'd ever say that, but it is!)
How I Stay Motivated:
Support/inspiration from my hubby (MrDawnMarie), offline and online friends, looking at old pictures, inspired by others making transformations and starting healthy lifestyles.
BB Accomplishments:
2004 - 2006: Lost 125 lbs, significantly reduced bodyfat, reached goal size 8 from size 26/28W.
2007: Competed and placed in online physique competition. Selected as Female Transformation of the Year on BB.com

I have decided to "wipe the slate clean" and start a new WO journal for my new goals for this year.

Cutting again for a couple months as of Jan 1st to lose some extra holiday pounds, then will re-evaluate and possibly do a lean mass building phase. Current focus is on varied forms of cardio with supersets on weights.
I haven't been on this in a while and since you're one of the few people on my list I thought I should atleast say Hi and You're looking good as always.
