When I Started:
Oct, 2001
How I Started:
My boyfriend got me into it....I noticed more and more changes and then I was hooked.
Why I Love It:
Multiple reasons: stress reliever*I love feeling, being, and looking healthy*I crave positive reinforcement*I love the environment...everyone's there to accomplish their fitness/health goals
How I Stay Motivated:
The way I look in my clothes*positive reinforcement*Seeing some people from highschool who, apparently, "let themselves go"*Knowing how I was before I started working out*Family medical history*Being intimate is a lot better when you feel good about yourself!
BB Accomplishments:
Losing a little over 30 lbs and gaining a whole lot of muscle for my 5-foot frame. Oh and did I say, THIRTY??
Forum Signature:
Get healthy...be healthy. Just take care of yourself- it is probably the best gift you can give to your friends, family and most importantly, yourself.
Short term goal: Get ready for summer! Long term goal: Work harder at maintaining a lean physique ALL YEAR LONG.
Goal (Long):
One day, I would like to start competing. That is, once I get my abs in check and have enough money to fund everything that goes along with it. I've also thought about going into commercial fitness modeling in the far future.
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Pros: Variety, it has everything I need
Cons: Annoying people

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
If you will be working out at a gym, PLEASE:

Ah yes, Fall weather may be pretty at times, but man did the gloomy weather kill my motivation! Well, I think it’s a combination of that and me slightly over training. I was dieting really strict along with lifting and doing cardio 5-6 days a week. After a while, my strict diet became taxing...
You know that you still have 7 weeks to get ready!! We are doing posing and conditioning classes and we help people with work outs. And you only have 1 lb a week to loose??? What do you think! We have class this Saturday! You look great. There is a few other ladies in our class that you could hook up with and train??
