When I Started:
Apr, 2007
How I Started:
In my 'previous life' I was eating a lot of junk and not exercising and this lead to me being 100kgs+. In 2005 I began to live a healthier lifestyle, starting with eating healthier and walking a few times a week.
I then took up recreational cycling and I soon found a passion for it.
2007 - I worked on improving my all round fitness, my cycling performance, increasing my km's and losing the majority of the remaining fat. I started resistance training in July and I rode approx 8,500km's.
2008 - As a side-effect of riding so much, I have now cut most of the fat. This year my focus will be to re-shape my body by gaining muscle.
Why I Love It:
Keeps the brain and body active, and the 'feel good chemicals' flowing. Exercising and living healthy makes me feel strong, fit and ready to take on any challenge!
How I Stay Motivated:
I think of how far I have come so far, and occasionally I look back at photos of my larger self to re-affirm that's not a state I want my body to be in ever again.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing 40kgs. Adding muscle mass to tighten the remaining 'loose' areas.
What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
I would say deadlift's... I really feel it in my lower back if my form is not 100%.
Squats can be scary too - you know that feeling of 'shit! I can't get back up!'.. had that a few times too many

Thank you for your comment. I suppose this is the hard part, being patient. I've been saying that since I started this journey and have to constantly remind myself that it's only been 3 weeks...I should not expect miracles. Thanks again for your kind remarks.
