When I Started:
Nov, 2006
How I Started:
Because of 1)Metabolic disease 2)Eating disorder and 3)laziness, I gained over 100 lbs since my early 20's. I got sick of yo-yo dieting, and had adjustable gastic banding surgery in 9/05. I lost some weight initially, but did not eat right or exercise - and predictably I stalled. After 14 months I was still over 200 lbs and not happy with how I looked, felt, etc.
I have a close family member who, at 70, lost the function of her legs because of diabetes and poor self-care. Knowing that I have a genetic risk of losing mobility at a fairly young age scared the crap out of me, and that is what really got me into the gym.
Of course, now I'm hooked! :D
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling of accomplishment AFTER it's over ;) But, still, I can think of many worse things than working out.
How I Stay Motivated:
Journaling in the Over 35 section. Visiting the Bodyspaces of my amazing freinds! Reminding myself that this is the only body I have and I must be good to it! I know I am worth every bit of it :D
BB Accomplishments:
I have lost 16 lbs, and learned so much about my body and how it reacts to different workouts, foods, ect. It has become a fun science project! ;)

My back does not look much better, sigh ... I swear, no more root beer, vodka tonics or french fries! I know I can do this! I WILL be a lean, mean machine!
Muffin top anyone? Do they make these at Paera Bread??? ;) Yes, millions :D
Fortunately I don't eat there anymore!
I am ready to have the body of my dreams! I now realize the only way it can be done is through hard work and dedication. I would like to weigh 145-150 lbs (I am 5'7")and be trim and muscular. I would like to not be ashamed of my abs! :lol: To prove to the world and myself that age is just a number!
I am sending out a mass comment to all of my mutual friends. I hope all of you are focused and keep on keepin on! With the upcoming holidays, we need to stay in check and look our best for friends and families. Good examples ya know? Stay ACTIVE! KT
