When I Started:
Apr, 2008
How I Started:
I got started when I was about 16 years old. I stayed pretty motivated through out high school, working 2 jobs as well. My mother passed away from ovarian cancer when I was 12, so right away I had to be strong on the inside for my 2 younger sisters.. it wasn't until my dad joined Bally's when I started to become strong on the outside and realized the importance of taking care of yourself. He hadn't even really gone to the gym but I was there every night after work, no matter what time I got off. I first fell off the gym boat when I moved to San Diego and life was pretty crazy. It was my first move, and being on my own I had to find myself and deal with some personal struggles. For a while I was just an occasional gym go-er, I pretty much just talked the talk up until my father passed away from cardiac problems in August of 2007. As you can imagine, this was an extremely hard time, as it was eye-opening that I needed to get back on track and take care of myself. Everyday I think of them, and appreciate that my dad signed up at the gym and let me sign up under him. I had a mini-love for fitness back then... but now, it consumes my life. I'm going to keep on striving and pushing myself to be as healthy and lean as I can!
Why I Love It:
I love working out because it makes me feel amazing! I love sweating my ass off and pushing my self with lifting and feeling strong.
How I Stay Motivated:
By updating my iPod frequently with new music, browsing BB.com all day long, reading about others' before/after stories and watching my body transform, compliments from people I love, looking at my own progress pics. More importantly trying to set an example for my family and close friends. I want be as healthy as possible and live as long as I can for my sisters and people I care about.

You are very welcome. I really like the lipo black. I think it's a toss up from the Lipo 6X and the Black. The Black gives you a bigger shot of energy when you take it, but the 6x has a more constant energy that lasts longer.I think the 6x lends a little better appetite control also. All and all I think the Black is a pretty good fat burner. I would say the best of what I have tried so far.
You have made LEAPS AND BOUNDS!!! CONGRATULATIONS! You inspire me to never give up and keep working towards my fitness goals! :) Keep up the great work!
