When I Started:
Feb, 2006
How I Started:
I needed to lose weight, started working out at home then Hubby bought me a gym membership and i have been hooked ever since.
Why I Love It:
I KNOW 1st hand now what working out can do for ones mind and body. I started out at 220lbs,41% BF and a size 18. Now i am 140,19%BF and size 4, and hoping to still be going down. Update: I am now 131 size 2 and getting Body fat tested today!!!! body fat was tested and according to that I am 14.3%, so I am happy! It's only a number but I just wanted to make sure its still dropping! Update: still 1lbs away from losing 95lbs, weight 126lbs size 2 (sometimes 0) and body fat tested this AM at 9.1%, again not to into the # but just making sure its going down. Weight and Body fat are up a tad, but I am happy. I hit my goal of 95lbs gone but like the "fuller" look on me so I am up just a few lbs and 2% in Body fat. Like this much better! July 2009 update:This was a tough year for me mentally and physically. I Signed on with a fantastic trainer (jpfit) for a few months who got my body to where I didn't think possible..I was on my way to the stage and couldn't hang so i backed out. I was tired, my muscles were cramping and I mentally as a former big girl didn't picture myself as even close to stage ready, but looking back now..I was crazy to think that! I learned a lesson through that though..To never compare yourself to others! Be the best you! Not self doubt because someone is progressing faster or has better arm definition! Rock out who you are!!! I stoped my training w/JP and proceded to try every thing out there as far as workouts or eating plans and all I did is make myself sick! Killed it with weights, cardio and teaching my classes and never listened to my body, until I was so sick and in Johns hopkins for 4 days.. I became hypoglycemic, didn't know and just kept pushing my body which in turn pushed back and flared my Celiac disease, so whatever my food intake was my body didn't absorb any of the nutrients..I was a mess! After a few weeks of feeling sorry for myself, i got back at it and with the help of JPFit I got back on track the healthy way...I learned my lesson and am going it alone now as I have to learn for myself.(many thanks to JPFIT for such an amazing job! He knows his stuff!!!) I am starting back at leaning down now from a healthy 144lbs, its hard mentally to know that I weight that, but Im still a size 4 and better yet Im happy! Yes, I have to start leaning out cause I wan't to show this hard earned muscle off, but I have my eye on a contest date in the future so until I have to start prep for my contest prep...lol! I am just going to be happy and healthy! And this time as long as my body lets me, I WILL MAKE THE STAGE!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing my body change, and knowing that it's me that's making that happen!!!!

I wanted to say that you look absolutely amazing! You have the body that so many want but are not willing to work to develop. You should be complimented on your dedication, determination as well as achievements. You are a fantastic inspiration to so many others. You are proof that so many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they become inevitable.
