I got Terrel Owen's " Finding Fitness and it has sparked me to restart and not stop on my quest. I also read Muscle and Fitness and that has helped a lot. I'm the off and on diet guy. I have been on this journey for long time. I hope that this is the final go towards a new me. I have been fat since age 11. I was a fat pre-teen, fat teen, and now fat adult.
This is what I do or did:
Until I started Tabata I did cardio after weight trainning to help drop body fat. I also trained each muscle group twice a week. I read that doing this ramps matabolism to burn fat. You need recovery but I did high reps with moderate weight. 3 sets of 12 most of the time. I also changed my diet big time. I eat lean meats, fruit, veggies, and slow digesting carbs most of the day. I eat fast digesting zero fat zero fiber carbs with whey post workout only.
Why I Love It:
I like the feel of the "pump". I also like seeing results.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think of how bad my body looks, and how out of shape I am. I must keep pushing to stay away from my old self of not finishing my fitness goals.
BB Accomplishments:
Dropping 120 lbs in 7 months with good eating and working out.

Success is not just measured by the position you reach in life, but the obstacles you overcome to get there.
Me in 2005. I don't know what my weight was in this pic. I think I started and failed another diet shortly after. Look, I'm sitting on my butt playing xbox. This is part of the reason why I got so heavy in the first place. My shirt won't even stay down in the back.
I still have lots of nasty belly fat. I've came a long way, and I have that much further to go.
She is a true inspiration. When I first came to BB.com I looked at your transformation, and I said to myself that I could loose the weight if I worked hard.
This guy hits the gym like clock work. When I get ready to hit my ab work-out I know that kizmvp is hitting it hard. You have to check out his bodyspace.
It's funny that at age 32 I'm in better shape than I was at age 22. So much for getting older and feeling old. I can't wait to see how I will look and feel at age 33. I have a work-out planned for tonight and I will still hit it. So much has changed for the best since last year. ...
Don't sell yourself short TT, you should know by now what amazing things you're capable of! But I understand were you're coming from, but don't forget the opportunity is there WHEN you're ready to show the world what you've accomplished!
DAMN TT you caught me! My waist is 35.5! Way to go brotha! Hell Yeah! Hey it's time to start thinking about packing on some RIP and getting on stage with me in June 2010 Azle, TX!!!!
Thanks, I'm gonna start Thursday with a productive, all out, biggest loser last chance type sweat inducing workout and then finish it up with turkey, dressing and the oh so lovely CAKES AND PIES, LMAO. But hey, its just one day and will get back on the grind on Friday. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
OMG! Congrats to you as well! You are looking absolutely amazing!!! I LOVE the fact that my bicep is showing up too! Aaaahhhh! I'm so glad this site exists, it's awesome to know that other people see the changes and are excited about your muscles as well. Keep going strong!
Happy Birthday!! How life-affirming to hit a workout on your b-day. You have done an amazing job of turning your life around, so no wonder you are excited at the prospect of how you are going to be looking and feeling on your 33rd!
Thanks for the comment. Good luck to your work out also. 60 more days and i should see a huge improvment on my transformation to mission fitness. I been on it for like 30 days and lost 16 pounds.
Thanks man. I posted that picture because many on this site get a little to hung up on fitness. Being fit is one aspect to living life and my all know that life has many aspects.
