When I Started:
May, 2008
How I Started:
I had a partial hysterectomy in February 08, and also had a lump in one of my breasts. After putting it off for 2 years, I decided to have a mammogram. The results were the lump was fine, the opposite breast however had fibrous tissue, and I need to have a 6 month check-up. The doctor said that I could cut my chances in half of developing breast cancer if I lost at least 40 lbs. He said "You are technically obese!" That was it! I joined my local gym, cut out fat, pop, sugar, processed foods. I began doing cardio 4 days/week, bought an elliptical, and began weight training in May. 7 weeks ago, I hired a personal trainer, and we've been working on getting me lean. I would love to fitness model (for my age group). So, for now, that's my goal. To lose another 7-10lbs of body fat, and get mean, lean, muscle! I'm liking the results so far.
Why I Love It:
It gives me super energy. I feel 100% better about my life, and about myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
I go to the gym everyday, read Muscle & Fitness Hers, and call my trainer when I need motivation!
BB Accomplishments:
Placed 8th at OCB Circle City May 30th, 2009. Division Novice Figure Class I. Trained 7 weeks for this first one...Sept 26th, I'm there!

8th Place! at OCB... yeah! First competition down, next one September 26th! Can't wait! Back in the Gym...TIME TO ROCK!
Goal (Long):
To compete in September 26th OCB Mr./Ms. Natural! I've got the bug... 8th place isn't bad for 7 weeks of training, and losing 67 lbs. in a year! I'm happy with that! I did it, that's what counts! Tighten, tone, get the diet right, and look out!
Training has been going fantastic. The results I've achievement are unbelievable. It has been worth all the time and effort (and cost) that I've invested. Now that I'm 12 weeks in, Todd says it's going to be another 5 - 6 months until I'm "ready, ready" to maybe compete. When...
