When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I first started proper workouts when I did the Body for Life challenge in 2005. It was hard but I really enjoyed doing it. It gave me a taste of what bodybuilding might be like. I then maintained my workouts and weight until I finished my degree in 2007. When I started my first job and got settled in, I decided it was time to really focus on my fitness. I started working out in January with specific goals to build muscle mass and trim body fat. My goal is to enter a figure competition towards the end of 2008.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling I get when I am pumping iron...I love the challenge. I also enjoy feeling my muscles strong and healthy and it gives me so much more energy in a job which requires lots of physical effort. And I also think that I look much better with muscle tone than with body fat! LOL
How I Stay Motivated:
By knowing that there are others out there who have achieve what I want to achieve. I also get motivation from talking to my friends and partner who understand about bodybuilding.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing 10kg of useless body fat

Oh dear ... it's slightly painful to look at these photos - but I am glad that progress has been made! :o)
The night before I started the Body for Life challenge - it got me started on bodybuilding!
My butt hurts right now, did massive sets of deep squats yesterday. Quads also sore from leg presses & lunges. I work my calves but they haven't been sore lately, guess I need to step it up.
wow the changes in your legs from the start of june to the end of june are amazing! I'm very jealous :) I can't wait to see your results for the comp. You look great.
Thanks for the compliments Rebecca (that's my sister's name :) )! You've done some great work...looks like you're gonna be one of those with abs to envy! :D
Bonjour Rebecca, how are you? I'm from Ireland, I completed the Paris Marathon last April, do you live in Paris? I holiday in Cannes every year. I love your country. You look very fit and healthy, I hope your training is going well. Tom
