When I Started:
Jul, 2004
How I Started:
I started out at Curves, 5 years ago, at my heaviest weight ever, 236 lbs. I lost 45 lbs, and have gone up and down between 186 and 210 for the past couple of years. I switched to a more traditional gym in Dec 2006 and worked out with my brother there for a couple of years, and completely fell in love with lifting weights. I have lost insane amounts of inches but now I am focused on losing fat and creating the body of my dreams. Now I work out at the Y, by myself, and I absolutely love it.
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel like a million bucks. It gives me so much energy and I feel full of life.
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading about other people's success, trying on old clothes from when I was heavier, checkin out my new muscles when they appear, buying new recipe books.
Checkin out other people.
New clothes.
Vacations that are looming.
BB Accomplishments:
Lost & kept off 45 lbs of fat before starting here.

Goal (Long):
I grew up as a chubby kid, and finally took charge of my life after my oldest brother's wedding in 2004.(I saw some pretty horrifying photos, which I have made my before pics) I was so tired of being the fat friend with the really pretty face and great personality. I went on my first diet in grade 4, and was 140 lbs in grade 6. I still feel the burn from this ski trip in 6th grade, when we had to get weighed in front of the whole class for our ski rentals. I was mortified, and have carried that with me my whole life. I have taken a long time to get to where I am now, and I love my shape now-I am in between and hourglass and a pear and I love myself more than ever, but I just want to streamline my body. I want a flat tummy, a nice round bum-it is getting there ;) and I want really nice legs...I have always had a huge issue with my legs. I want to wear cute short skirts and dresses before I am too old to do so!!!
So. Longterm goal: Lose the lbs, and get over the mental stuff-I feel like I weigh SO much. It was hard for me to come on here and tell the world how much I weigh, it still really embarrases me. I want to be proud of my body, totally comfortable, and never be embarrassed about my weight again.
She is like my twin sister. We have an insane amount of similarities and she is a wonderful supporter. She is always helping me out, so much great advice, and always has a sympathetic ear.
Happy Friday before Christmas everyone! I think I am finally nearly back to normal. It is funny how grief can affect a person. It really threw me off track. I didn't want to work out, or eat right, or clean my house, or even move my body. I just wanted to sleep. And eat garbage. I felt so sad,...
You're welcome! I would take it too - endorphins in any form (mostly) are good lol! Little kids are great to be around, have fun playing with your niece and seeing your mom! :)

here is another tip, take oscillococcinum - comes in a packet from the health food store yet again - if you take it once a week thru flu and cold season it prevents colds, if you are sneezing or coughing already take it every five min for an hour (a few granules is a dose) then once an hour until bedtime it should abort the sickness. :)
I'm sorry honey - it is so hard when you are sad! I really really feel for you! Go to the gym, do what you can, and you will feel loads better! *hugs*
~L~
you are always welcome sweetie. and THANK YOU so much, I am feeling better (although still carrying around in my head what I used to look like) how are you today?
I'm so glad! :) Always here to help, whenever I can. You can stay on track at the parties, go in with a definite plan of attack of do's and don'ts. You'll do great!

As a fellow Canadian as well as a fellow BC'er
I want to say “way to go” and to wish you nothing but success as you continue towards your fitness goal. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you have proven/are continuing to prove that with hard work and determination it can be. I look forward to watching your progress. Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless.

Thank you! I'm good, sticking to my diet and giving myself another 3 week challenge. Trying to bust past 180 and lose ten lbs this month. How are you?
And thanks for telling me look nice in my new pics, it's encouraging.
