When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
Medical problems caused me to gain a lot of weight really fast. After 10 years of fighting to get it off, I came to the realization that cardio is not the answer. If I'm going to lose the weight, I need to start slabbing on the muscle.
Why I Love It:
When you're fat, people look at you and assume you're lazy and/or weak. My lifting time is like my little secret. It's also a reminder of what I was before the medical issues. I am still an athlete, I'm just temporarily stuck in a fat chick's body!
How I Stay Motivated:
I have a picture on my desktop.. Hugh Jackman, in a tank top, from X Men. Obviously won't ever get THAT far, but it's nice to look at! Also, I have a table of dates, projected weights, and "rewards". It's been helping so far!
BB Accomplishments:
At 13-15, I could leg press 500lbs (and a little). I was proud of that. I ONLY ever worked lower body though, so when I recently started training upper.. I was pretty proud when my biceps started showing!

I want to be down to a decent weight by September!
Goal (Long):
I have finally figured out what all needs to be done in order for me to lose weight. Years of research, trying different paths, ineffective medication, and hundreds of fruitless hours of hard cardio..
Now I'm on the right meds (thyroid), I have the right diet for me (paleo), and I've given up on cardio as the answer. My decision to just "slab on the muscle" in combination with meds and diet is the final piece in the puzzle!
SO. I want to be down to the weight I was when I was 16 by September. I want HUGE arms. I want people to look at me and see the person I am inside, not the weird foreign shell I've been stuck in for the last decade! I am aiming for 160 lbs.
What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Ok,I know it's dub and would never happen, but lately I've really been admiring Hugh Jackson's body in the X Men movies.
I can't really think of a female celebrity's body I'd want to have.. they're all skinny. I want MUSCLE!!Ok,I know it's dub and would never happen, but lately I've really been admiring Hugh Jackson's body in the X Men movies.

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
As a kid, I was REALLY good at lower body - leg press in particular.
So that's ALL I did. Never, ever trained upper body.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I don't really think about it.. whatever floats your boat, I guess. I'm more focussed on what I'm doing.. not grunting!
So, I've pretty much written off the past few weeks. They've been pretty tumultuous.. some pretty high highs (a gold medal in baking!), and some pretty awful lows (unexpected death of a friend). Monday, I finally got back to business.
Today, I went back on the DHEA, and I'm feeling pretty...
Can you really tell I haven't been on this site for a while? LOL I have been through it. I just moved and reassigned from my lazy job. Now I am on the prowl. I have so many questions now that I am able to actually set out for my goals now. How are you doing?
Palio sort of worked for me well when i was single but got maried to a person who LIVES on carbs and stays like a stick (How anoying and frustrating!) Your progresive and slabbing on the muscle Is about the only thing that ever worked for me so keep at it!
Any Idea whare I could get some new info on how to do paleo , I lost the book.
Thank you for the motivation. I'm trying to convince myself I love to run. I don't know if I believe me yet. BUT I'll stick with it. I hope your goals are being met too. hang in there.
Thank you for dropping by. Things have been going great for me; in fact if they were any better I would have to become twins so I could enjoy them all. How about you? Are you happy with things? I look forward to hearing how things are with you. Remember: “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”
Ooo new jeans? Nice!
Things are ok on this end. Just need to plot out my schdule for everything since I started a second job :/ beside that things are good
I have been reading your blog and I just want to say that you are WELL ON YOUR WAY! I love your avi! Looking beautiful and strong! Congratulations on your achievements! Keep up the great work and keep working out those inner issues. MUCH LOVE.
