When I Started:
How I Started:
Been working with weights off and on since I was a teenager. I quit lifting for a time (maybe about 10 years off and on), to focus on another sport; but since quitting, I have been trying to get back into the groove again. Prior to 2004, I could easily go up and down between 140 lbs and 165 lbs, usually staying lean in the process. Though I didn't always lift weights after 1995, I could always count on being fit and muscular. Unfortunately, after 2004, I became too busy, lost my motivation, and let myself go. In 2007, I was at my worst, reaching a flabby weight of 198 lbs. While attempting to whip myself back into shape that Fall, I tore my pectoral. Since last year, I've been allowing myself to heal, by working my way back very slowly. Right now, I'm weighing 191 lbs. But I'm learning patience and have humbled myself, by going back on a beginner's program. Little by little, there is change, though not as fast I want.
Why I Love It:
Relieves a lot of stress. Seeing results gives me a high, but it's not easy and it does take a certain amount of faith when getting started by not knowing what your results will be in the future.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing change and transformation. Change from the outside also makes you feel better on the inside.
BB Accomplishments:
None. I was just always known for being in shape and taking care of myself; but now I'm better known as the "has been"! We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Forum Signature:
Commitment.

MarioNTexaschanged Weight from 191 lbs. to 188 lbs., a 3 lb. loss in 240 days
This was the kicker. I had never seen my back side look like this before, especially my love handles. I've always had a big back, but this time it was covered in fat.
Eventually, I would like to get back down to a body weight of 162 pounds. Five years ago, I was lean and muscular at 158 lbs. I had a 29-30 inch waist and could bench well over 300 lbs. Right now, I'm at my heaviest, 191 lbs, because I've let myself go since 2004. I'm no longer concerned about strength, though.

MarioNTexas does not have inspirational members yet.
Pulled a quadriceps muscle, yesterday. Hadn't worked out in a week and a half, and was feeling kind of stiff, especially due to the cold weather. Should have known better.
I get asked that alot. My ex husband has not seen me yet and my other ex boyfriends were few and far between and all lived far away from me........thats a blessing
Today's Thoughts:
Fall in love with your dreams and they will fall in love with you.
Look forward not back...don't talk about or ponder on anything/anyone you dislike...
keep your mind/heart on who you love, what you love...and all your dreams will come true.
Contribute your heart and the world will freely offer itself to you, it has no other choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet
