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.
Remove fat and sculpt my body into beautiful lean curves. I say remove, not lose, because I am never going to "find" it again!
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.
I made it through last week's brownie torture with not so much as a crumb! It may seem ridiculous to some, and easy for people to say just don't eat it, don't give in, ect...but when you come from where I came from, it is a victory to completely avoid stuff like that. It has been a lifelong...
I'm sorry i wasn't able to answer earlier - I had to run errands. I get sick of the salad. I am such a ranch dressing fan that I find it hard to eat all that greenery without a more substantial dressing. I was supposed to do cardio, but that didn't work out. :( I'm glad you are otherwise good besides the too much protien thing lol. :) Talk again soon!

Yea me too. I really got my mind right this past week and decided to take my diet and workouts to the next level!!! And no I don't have a little SEXY strapless black dress That I want to wear. But if I did, Prob would not be nearly at hott and sexy as you would look in it!!!
hey i ve been doing awesome !!! my eating has been flawless as well, im feeling pretty good :O) i am getting so excited ! ive also been doing some light weights and a lot o moves like squats, lunges, pushups etc
Hey I'm ok. My daughter is throwing a GIGANTIC temper tantrum that shows no sign of stopping yet, but, other than that- I am doing great with the diet and exercise this week. I need to always do this too. :)

:) I concur. have you ever had miso soup? it's awesome when you are sick (awesome when you're not too) :) I hope to be better soon. Can't wait to get moving again.

I'm so glad you had fun and you're are now back to kicking but. Unfortunately my stupid cold turned on me and came back, so I'm tired and lethargic, but trying to eat clean and stick to diet and rest. Can't wait till it's all gone to really start blasting out great workouts again!!! At least I don't have a fever or a 9-5 job to contend with as well lol! :)
