When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I started working out late January in 2008 as part of a strong desire to change my life. I had always been overweight and I just wanted to change the way I looked, and be healthy.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling you get as you are lifting. The pump is amazing.
How I Stay Motivated:
I generally stay motivated by browsing BB.com forums and seeing everyone improving their body. It motivates me to do the same with mine. I also love seeing how I am progressing, and how my muscles are growing. I also get a lot of motivation from my friends and family to continue lifting and eating healthy.
BB Accomplishments:
I've been lifting for around 6 months now and that is an accomplishment in itself. I'm ecstatic that I have been dedicated and continued to keep lifting weights and improving my diet.
So far I have also lost 17 lbs of fat and gained a decent amount of muscle. All of my lifts have been going up consistently.
I took this picture the first day I started lifting weights. I was 6 feet tall weighing 197 lbs and tired of the way I looked.
This photo was taken 3 months into working out. I weighed 186.5 lbs in this picture. I hadn't really started dieting yet or doing cardio. This is purely after 3 months of lifting weights and omitting soda from my diet.
Only 3 lbs left till I get to my goal weight of 175!
Goal (Long):
Currently I am overweight with BF% in the 20's, my goal is to have an athletic physique with BF% around 10-13% and visible abs, bis, tris, traps, delts, obliques, etc. I want this goal accomplished within 1 year.
Additionally, I want to look good when I don't have a shirt on, namely at the beach or pool. When wearing clothes I want the clothes to look good on me, and have a waist size of 32 inches or less (currently I have 34).
My short term goal is to be 175lbs by August 10th, 2008.
