I knew I had alot of weight to lose, but I didn't realize how much. I decided to do Body for Life and took my before pictures. I was so shocked by what I saw.. I had no idea I looked that bad and was that big. I weighed 263 lbs when I started in the next 9 months I got down to 215 lbs. If I had known how far I had to go I may not have started. but I have come this far I know I can make it the rest of the way.
Why I Love It:
I love feeling stronger, I love seeing muscles. When I first saw my biceps I couldn't stop flexing and feeling them. Mostly I love the way it makes me look, I love the feeling the rest of the day after a hard workout in the morning.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look at pictures that inspire me to have a fantastic physique. Also feeling great and seeing any kind of progress in motivating.
BB Accomplishments:
I have lost over 100 lbs so far.

Where The Mind Goes The Body Will Follow
I want to compete in a figure competition.
Goal (Long):
I have always wanted a fit beautiful physique, not just "skinny" but shapely. I want to get down to 15% bf and see how I feel there. I want to be able to run in a bikini and not have anything jiggling.I want to feel confident and know I look great!
Now I am training for my first figure competition in October!
Thanks girl! The same goes for you, you have donw so great so far and I know you will get to where you wanna be real soon! Push hard girl you are doing amazing!!!
What a fantastic transformation. From where you were to where you are now is nothing short of night and day. You are a role model for so many others who don’t believe that it can be done. I know you are still continuing your fitness journey but I just wanted to acknowledge your effort and to congratulate you.
i did chest and tris. I not really on a size building mission lately, that comes in the winter time. I do a push/pull kind of routine. Tomorrow will be back and bis. How bout yourself?
I hear you! Sometimes you need to get a break from eating the same thing over and over and over. I ate some ice cream last night and I am not usually an ice cream person..but I was so tired of fruit or veggies.
