I think my pics say it all, really. I was fat and needed to get into shape.
I was 236 pounds, almost 40% bodyfat and had a 118cm waist - what more incentive did I need?
Why I Love It:
The highs I get from it - plus no matter how crappy I feel, no matter how bad a day I've had, the iron is still always there and it never judges.
How I Stay Motivated:
I like the results, I like what I see in the mirror, and I like feeling strong.
BB Accomplishments:
Latest deadlift of 186 pounds is damned motivating, plus I'm now starting to get my abs through - and I've NEVER seen those before.

This is me after I'd already lost about 2 and a half stone (roughly 40 pounds or so).
And yes, my hair naturally is that colour. :D
Took a little time out over Xmas, now getting back into it.
Starting to get it together now, just need to strip off the fat that's left, stick to my diet and get stronger.
Short-term goal is basically to keep this up, keep lifting weight and working out, and stay focused on my long-term goal.
Goal (Long):
Also, I've entered a strength contest on extremebodybuilding.net that begins 1st October and runs till April next year, based on bench, squat and deadlift.
I want to start powerlifting, so I'll be starting a 5x5 programme to give me a helping hand with that.
I've given myself till mid-2010 to squat 350 pounds (so, it's two and a half years to squat two and a half times my current bodyweight - near enough. :)
[QUOTE=b_reed23;1811093]I can't beleive you don't crash with your cals so low...I take in 1550, and some days even that doesn't feel like enough :D[/QUOTE]
I'm surprised considering how much I eat, but it's usually foods that are nutritionally dense rather than calorifically dense - like fruit...
Thanks for the encouragement. I've been keeping to myself as far as everything goes. Only a few family members and 1 friend know that I'm trying to get in shape. Hopefully as more comes off, more people will notice and I'll have to admit to working out :D
Hi there. Nice to see you on my bodyspace checking up and egging me onto greatness :). I think I am doing Ok. nothing like the TV people who seem to drop 8 lb a week minimum, but I am chugging along. I read your blog about the tybo on fastforward, it gave me a giggle, you must have some very strong lungs lol.
Hey girl, how is everything? I am back on track and trying to lose that weight for good!!!
I am kicking ass and I need you to kick my ass!
What do you say, are you up for the challenge?
I am not sure where to find the fat loss section and I kind of like it here. I have tried all kinds of diets and pills. None of them have worked. Its nice to watch the bodybuilders blogs go by as that is my new focus. Make muscles to build up my metabolism to record hieghts. I will look around and see if I can find it though. Having 2 places to go might help me even more. Thanks for hte tip.
