I started working out after i had my daughter in 2000. I was overweight and unhappy with the way i looked and felt. I had always been a thin child and teenager so it was a bit of a shock to have to deal with being overweight after my pregnancy. I picked up a few Muscle and Fitness for her magazines, did some research on Bodybuilding.com and printed out some workouts to try. 7 months and 45 pounds later i was hooked!
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel, the
adrenaline rush i get, and i love feeling strong. I love looking at myself in the mirror and feeling proud of what i have accomplished.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by continually trying to make myself better and stronger. I use competing in figure competitions to help keep me going.
It also is a huge passion of mine to help people along their journey. I get great pleasure in seeing others achieve their goals.
BB Accomplishments:
My main concern was to continually improve and evolve.I think i have been successful in attaining my goals thus far, and will only get better with time

I will test the dieting waters next year. You can pay me back then. (smile) I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll be thinking of you with each bite. Lol! God bless! Ricky
Oh...great save, Amber. So more like the Magnum P.I. (Tom Selleck) and Bo Duke (Jon Schneider) type - big guys and fast cars. I hear ya - just glad you didn't say Erik Estrada type...or, did you...hmmmm?
Terrific profile pic, Amber! Looking fwd to seeing you grace the stage in L.A. - and hoist that Excalibur sword. Stay motivated...and keep up the wonderful effort.
