After my third child I found myself in Lowe's just about running out the door. I was 180 lbs and totally uncomfortable in my own skin. This is not who I wanted to be for my children or for myself. My self confidence had hit rock bottom!
Why I Love It:
I love feeling strong, fit and in control of my life. I like reaching for something and seeing my body react. The more I lose and tone, the more I can see!
How I Stay Motivated:
Other like-minded people. Looking at other people's progress. My kids watching me make time for my body and myself is important to me.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing around 35 pounds so far. It's been a long journey with some stalls along the way, but after I look back - I've gotten this far, I can do it!

Much less rollie-pollie lol
143.5 lbs, disappointed - feel like I look better than pic shows :( Just means I gotta keep pushing it I guess. And I ALWAYS have my right shoulder too high in pics! Hope next set in a few weeks shows some improvement (and a little tan)
What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.

What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
Do what you need to do to do your best! I'm not a grunter though... just not my thing.
Why I like this video: I love the whole jari love series. With three kids and a job from home I have to workout at my home gym. This allows me to have a personal trainer without the price and I can add more weight as needed! LOVE IT!
Stardate 5367: I've been on this mission for years, searching for the lost definition of muscle that dodges behind strange jiggling masses of tissues. I feel I am closer now than ever to finding my golden goblet.
LOL... just joshin' ya. So, Today I took a few relaxed pics and put them...
Thanks much for the kind words. Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I am still learning things about body space and did not scroll the bottom to see your comments. Congrats on your progress.
What a great role model and example you are. You talk the talk but definitely walk the walk and I congratulate you on your efforts. Continue to challenge yourself to be the best that you can be during each and every workout and believe in your own inner strength. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you progress in ’08.
You're doing great! Keep up the good work. I am sooo proud of you-it really takes alot of courage to do something as extraordinary as you've done. Best wishes and keep up the good work. God Bless You!
