Goal (Long):
I have now lost my 20lbs and hit 16% body fat since signing on here a couple of years ago. Now it's time to change! Start training under Steve Poynter of www.fitnesspoynters.com! Check him out on his personal website or here at stevep78! I start the "Extreme Fat Destruction Plan"---Mark Monday April 20th 2009.....see if I can be who I've never been before! Firecracker I am.....I will "Rep It "Till It Burns"!
This entry was when I first signed here on bb an couple of years ago: Have been overweight my whole life. Was always comfortable and confident but 6yrs ago I came to a point where my ankles were swollen and couldn't stand on my feet to do my job. So I had to make a decision to either drop the weight or drop my job. I love my job. So I started on watching what I ate and started moderate excercise 5yrs ago and lost 115lbs on my own. Kept it off until last November where I decided it was time to change the "new me" into a healthy and fit looking person. I don't know what it's like to be smaller than I am now, so I don't know what I'm supposed to look like for a person of my height. I want to know what I'm supposed to look like at a healthy weight with some muscle definition.
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Motivation from others, more equipment and room to move around, people and helpful information. Cons-the only ones, when you're limited to certain machines when too busy, and when you know too many people that keep your mouth exercising instead of your body. Solution, ball cap on low and no eye contact until completion!Motivation from others, more equipment and room to move around, people and helpful information.

What type of person at your gym annoys you the most? Why?
People who pretend, sit at a machine when u need it and they aren't moving, ones who do things improperly and makeup queens.

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Something i can move in, not to restrictive, nothing that's going to fall halfway down my rear end. I want full range of motion while working out.
Something I need to let out here. I've hardly been on bb because of doctors orders and it being a little discouraging to not be able to train like I used to for health reasons, but uplifting to see everyone doing well and some of the great comments or support when I do log...
I dont think people understand that overcoming "skinny-fat" is just as difficult as being overweight in some cases. I abused my body for years and had to fill empty skin and just because we fit into a size 2 doesnt mean we look good outside our clothes. Ex skinny broads need props too!!
we are supposed to get a little tonight, and Thursday they said 5-10cm and you guys are getting like 15cm...
we`re only 2 hours apart...
do you train at a gym
basically it comes down to losing the fat, gaining strength and muscle. One day I would like to compete but I am not putting a timeline on that just yet because I know I have a long way to go.
thanks for the WOW lol
you're abs look nice
hey, how's you training goin...
I tore my legs apart last night lol
did you get hit with snow in TO
we are supposed to get it tonight here in London
Thank you for getting back to me. My golas are getting there slowly. This has been one of my better years for sure. Sorry that things are not going your way. I hope you will get back to it soon. When you get back to 100%, what are your goals?
you do not look like you ever weight that much, you are very inspiring. I have been really worried about my stomach and loosing in a way that i will not have a lot of hanging skin, do you have any tips that i can maybe follow or any in general, i can really use any help available. And for the record, you look fab...great job.
