FitCent. Yeah, he keeps kicking me in my ample rear end all the way to the gym. He's introduced me to the world of fitness over and over again, and what a world it is!
Why I Love It:
Endorphins! Hello! They're free, easy to obtain, no side affects like hang overs or addictions (although some would disagree), but most of all, THEY'RE FREE!
How I Stay Motivated:
FitCent. He's my motivation. If it wasn't for the fact that he doesn't mind pushing me all the way to the gym, then I'd be one hell'a big blob! Oh wait, I am...but a SHRINKING blob, not a GROWING blob.
BB Accomplishments:
It's taken me 38 years to grow this hunk o' body...even if it takes me another 38 years to shrink this hunk o' body, I'm in it for the long haul.
Forum Signature:
I'd probably be kinda pissed right now if I gave a crap about your opinion of me. As it is, I'm pretty amused.

What the heck do you say about a picture like this? It's probably 2 am and I'm working off a hangover?
This is 15 lbs down. Here are my excuses as to why I don't notice any change:
1. It's close to Aunt Flo's visit.
2. I hadn't been to the gym in a week.
3. I just drank 7 gallons of water.
4. Black makes me look fat.
5. Wearing glasses makes my head look small, which makes my body look bigger.
There's nothing more rewarding than fighting for and winning peace for yourself and your family.
Goal (Long):
Well...let's see...they say that the devil is in the details. I guess that I've always just thought that I'm going to lose weight without really planning it out.
If I were hard pressed right this minute to think of a goal, I'd say that it would be to lose 122.4 lbs of fat, and pretty much just keep the muscle that I have.
Time frame? Within 18 months. Starting right...NOW!
I have no doubt that my body has had to maintain a pretty good amount of muscle to carry around all the friggin' fat that's on it, so just keeping what I've got would rock.
What BF % do I have? Not sure, and frankly, I don't wanna know right now. It's embarrassing enough having to LOOK at the fat without having to know exactly how much of my body IS fat.
Yes yes yes, just another terrifically wonderful workout with my husband, FitCent. I did my entire upper body today because I started a different workout. I've done this one before, it's the Bill Phillips "Body for Life" program, so I know it works (lost around 60 pounds in 6 months...
Hey Sista, how is everyhting??? Today is a good day, I have lost another 1.2 lbs! Not much, but darn it, I am celebrating it!
Going to the gym soon to know some weight around!
How about you??? Feeling better so far?
By the way I busted up laughing when I read that you wanted MY figure. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Nothing enviable here my dear. Someday...maybe...but not now. lol
I am having trouble figuring out how to workout with school. I mean seriously we go from 8:30-almost 4. Then have a farm, dinner & other commitments to deal with. Before school we have chores and other stuff too. I think I am going to try doing in the afternoon right after school. Will let ya know how that works out for me.
Thanks for the comments on the picture. Everyone is saying they see it in the waist...and I'm still like WHERE?!?!!? lol Don't guess we'll ever be happy withour own bodies will we? lol
CONGRATS!!! on making your goal. That's awesome! Keep on rockin' it girl! I've made no progress but my diet hasn't been great either...not bad, but not contest diet either.
So many questions lol. Yes I have my nose pierced. Have since high school. Did it myself even. LMAO. I have a diamond stud in it at the moment. As for comments from others...I see what you're saying. lol However I have not been leaving an of my other friends commetns, so get none in return. Haven't had the time to keep up with everyone I guess. lol Shoot, I forgot the rest of your questions...guess you'll get a bunch of posts from me too. :-D
Yea girl I cant believe I finally broke the 220 mark woot woot, I dont know if its what Im doing cause that really feel that diffrent, maybe its the lack of stress?
way to go with the workouts! All is well here. Posted new pics for ya. No change. BLAH. Training is ok...just adjusting to workouts during school. You know how that is. Anyway...have to scoot. talk soon.
LOL, I would like to be able to sleep with my wife so not going to say that! Hopefully after I drop a good amount of weight, she will see the light and start following me!
Until then, all I can do is work on me!
The Valley talk is excused LOL!!! Thanks for the support, really appreciate it! My wife is fuming because she gained weight while I lost, which of course sucks!
How about you? How everything been going?
Hey sorry, I completely forgot! lol OK I will have to get one put up for ya. I am hanging in there. School starts tomorrow for us, so doing prep work today. Will try to get that up today or tomorrow morning at the latest! How are you doing?
No worries, intend to do just that!Hey I have lost 14 lbs in 3 weeks...I am in a row and itend to keep it that way. Want to be under 300 by the end of september and about 250 by the end of the year!
How about you?
Hey Chica, good to hear you are back at it and kicking!
As for me, hittimg the gym back again tomorow...got married last week and with honeymoon, I have been off track for awhile!
We all have to do what makes us happy but what keeps us healthy too- a balance of all of it is the best. A lot of muscle is important.. I mean seriously, with the BMI index I am considered obese so none of that crap is relative to people who train and have muscle. Do your thang and be who you are and just be fit and healthy right along side ;)
There is a misconception- it's all relative to how much muscle you carry on your frame too!! They say one should weigh 120 lbs at 5'5 and for every inch over 5'5 add 5 lbs.. So for me at 5'10 they say I should weigh 145 lbs. That's 15 lbs lighter than I am now. It's crazy because they DO NOT take into account muscle.
Keep at it... dont let things get ya down. It's a life long way that you have to life, not a quick or short term thing. You know this I am sure but sometimes it's good to remind ourselves :) I remind myself when I get tired and dont want to train... lately that has happened a lot ;) Ugg, some days I am so over the gym and I just want to veg. But, I either push myself through a workout or if I veg and just make sure I eat really cleanly and perfect that day if I know I'm not going to the gym.
Yes I am 160 lbs...why do you ask??? I use to be 184 lbs and a lot bigger both fat and muscle. That's the tough part I have noticed, when I had extra fat weight on my body and lots of muscle too it made me look so much bigger and bulkier. BUT, over time I got a hold of the eating thing and set my body straight. It takes time but I never gave up on the weight training. It is why I am where I am now. That muscle is life saving, and tremendously important for burning calories and being healthy.
