When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
I wanted to transform my body from fat, out of shape, and in pain, to trim and pain free. My initial goal of losing 35 pounds has been surpassed! 55 pounds of fat gone and new muscle gained!
Current Goals:
By summer 2008 I want to see reduced body fat, increased strength, more defined abdominals, and see more definition in my arms.
By the end of 2008 I want to see major improvement in cardiovascular health, improved muscle tone, size and definition.
Why I Love It:
I love it because I look better, I'm pain free, I have lots of energy, and reduced stress. I look forward each day to challenging myself to improve on my personal best.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing results and feeling better. I live in a city of thin people, lots of athletes, runners, cyclists etc so I'm just keeping up with the rest of the population.
The members of the OV35 forum really support and encourage me.

Bodybuilding.com *Transformation of the Week* February 14, 2008
I have lost 55 pounds and 12 1/2 inches from my waist. My bodyfat has dropped from 41% to 17%. I have gained muscle in areas that I didn't even know I had lol Now at 50 years old I feel good about my appearance once again and know that bodybuilding and clean eating is a lifelong commitment that I'm prepared to accept. When I look in the mirror I don't cringe and when I shop for new clothes I can wear a size XS instead of a size 18! My focus now will be to gain more muscle.
I want to inspire people that have 40 or 50 pounds to lose to take that step and start now. Anyone can do this with some determination and consistency if they eat clean, incorporate cardio and implement a weight training program into their lives. Today is the day, it's never too late.

Goal (Long):
I would like to maintain a lean body but more importantly to GAIN MUSCLE. Ultimately I want a body with little fat and lots of MUSCLE. I don't know if I can get a really muscular body starting at this age but I'm going to try! I am 50 years old but it's not too late!
I am having some cervical spine issues again. There is some pain. My wrist is still not healed from my prior injury either and it's hurting every time I lift anything. I have taken 9 days off hoping that the pain would subside but the time off has not really helped. Yesterday I started back at...
