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!
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!

Just read your profile and WOW you have gone through hell and back I'd say.. BUT..since you're back? I admire you for that and for knowing you're well worth it. It's all about persistance and being positive no matter what. Letting no one stop you from your goals. You will do great as you already have :) Keep it up .. the older we get the more AWESOME we look!
Hi Penny- happy belated New year! I see you are getting it off to a good start! Hope your progress is all that you want it to be and more. Lift Strong.
