When I Started:
May, 2005
How I Started:
I began taking my involvement in Irish Dance and Running more seriously, realizing that if I wanted to be the best, I had to train the best.
Why I Love It:
I love that feeling that comes when I push my body past it's own limits, when my heart wants to explode and my legs grow numb. The pain is comforting, the agony; relief. The world around me makes sense as my breathing is the only sound I can hear. Nothing else matters, except for that one moment, that chance to show my strength.

Goal (Long):
I'm by far not the largest person in this world, actually, I'm quite small in terms of weight and frame, only 5'4" and 108 lbs. However, the majority of my body is composed of muscle. I'm a competitive Irish Dancer and Varsity Distance Runner, so this build is ideal for my sports.I eat like a horse though to maintain what little weight I have, and my friends refer to me as "mini phelps" (minus the pot hehe). At the moment, I'm fairly satisfied with my body, although, I wouldn't mind a few improvements. My abs are at a four pack currently, and I'm working on getting back to six. I'd like my endurance to be top notch. My biceps could use a bit more definition, as well as my calves and thighs. As long as I keep up with a good fitness routine, I think that my goals are quite obtainable, and will be beneficial toward my athletic endevours.
First off, I always gotta give major props to anyone who runs or has ran Cross Country!
Secondly, this member has faced a slew of unexpected misfortunes, yet still continues to look at life as an opportunity- one he is truly making the best of. Puddle_Pirate has completely transformed his body with incredible success! His transformation is probably one of the most incredible lean mass gains I have ever seen.
Puddle_Pirate inspires me to keep going when my past is trying to hold me back.
She's fighting one of the most difficutl battles that one could possibly encounter at the moment- the battle against an Eating Disorder. Witnessing balletdancer's progress thus far inspires me to remain healthy. I'm rooting for her, hoping that she can achieve her dancing dreams and the life she deserves!
Hey just letting you know were my progress is at, I've gotten my squat up 40 llbs in two weeks!! very happy about it, so far I consider it my biggest accomplishment, I'll keep you updated,so how are you doing?

Wow, thank you :) It is so rewarding to hear that. One of the best parts of leading a healthy lifestyle is inspiring others to do so. You truely made my day! Keep up your hard work and aspirations :)
Great to hear 5-HTP worked out for you! I have always read they have those effects but its fantastic to hear that they can be effective in a noticable manner.
Good luck at reaching your goals!
Your story is something else. I am glad you were able to get over all the hurdles that were in front of you. It's always good to here a story like this. It's even better to see the results. Keep it up!
