When I Started:
Jan, 2007
How I Started:
Since I can remember I've never been fully happy with my body. When I was a kid I was short, skinny and flat. Then puberty hit, as did the glasses and braces and I became pretty chunky there for awhile (very attractive).Throughout High School I lost the braces and glasses but the weight was more of a struggle. Now that I'm in my 20's, I'm becoming more mature about taking my life into my own hands and doing something about it.
Why I Love It:
I find running very theraputic and relaxing, and also find lean muscle, strength and definition rewarding and attractive
How I Stay Motivated:
Mainly its how I feel about myself now, I'm focusing on myself and not other people.

A picture speaks a thosand words. It took my graduation photos to finally wake me up.
Size 13
Happy with the progress even if its slow. I'm just happy to build and shape while learning to maintain this lifestyle rather then how fast I can do it. This is for me and no one else.
Size
Gain about 5lbs lean and lose about 15lbs Body Fat. Be about 16% BF and possibly 125 lbs
Goal (Long):
Summer 2009 I'm going to have the start of a feminine 6 pac...not too muscular but the hint of something a little more sexy. Also excited to kick my own ass literally and tighten up the bum and lower half of the body that is still lacking. Starting an 8 week challenge starting on Monday. Really need to crack the whip and keep the diet clean and the workouts heavy.
I'll be uping the cardio like crazy as well.
Wish me luck!
Any motivation helps!
Well I'm having a brain fart and can't think of much variation when it comes to meal time, i usually stick with the basics like brown rice, chicken, salmon fruits and veggies but I'm bored and sometimes find myself cheating a little too much, possibly due to lack of creativity. I would...
Hi Kiersten, Take a look at this blog. Maybe it will give you an idea for a meal. http://blog.bodybuilding.com/d cdiver/2009/04/14/real-meals-f or-real-people/ I plan on writing a new one every couple of weeks. I hope it helps.
