Overall Goal: I want my body fat to be 20% so I can have a flat stomach and possibly some ab definition. As my body changes, my goals change. Depending on how my body looks, I may want lower body fat.

When I Started:
Sep, 2008
How I Started:
I've worked out off and on (mostly on) for years. After graduating college, I put on a lot of weight and while I continued to exercise, my eating habits were probably not the best. After two years of carrying this weight around, I finally lost most of it and plateaued. A year later, I decided to dedicate myself to getting back down to my college weight.
Why I Love It:
I love seeing the changes made in my body and I love putting on a pair of jeans and looking great in them! I also feel empowered when I can flex my triceps and actually see muscle!
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by attending the gym. Working out at home is so isolated and lonely, and there's no one to be accountable to. When I'm in the gym, I work out as if I'm in a challenge with the person next to me to see who can run the fastest or lift the hardest. When I'm outside the gym, I stay motivated to eat right every time someone notices the weight I've lost and tells me how great I look.
BB Accomplishments:
I think my arms and shoulders have made major changes! I've even gotten a few compliments from friends about how I have so much muscle definition!

I want my body fat to be 20% so I can have a flat stomach and possibly some ab definition. As my body changes, my goals change. Depending on how my body looks, I may want lower body fat.
Goal (Long):
I'm looking to transform my body, which will require a lot of fat loss. I think I have muscle definition anyway but my muscles are mostly hidden by fat! In the past five months I've lost about 29 pounds and 9% body fat. I think I have great arm/shoulder definition but my biggest problem area is my waistline. Even when I was smaller, I always tended to have a roll of fat around my abs. This time, I'm committed to getting rid of this problem once and for all. I thought I would've been closer to my goal by now but I'm still determined to get there. Some say it'll take a year for me to get where I want to be but with enough consistency and hard work, I'd like to be there in another three to four months.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 17 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
20%

What bicep workout has worked best for you?
For my biceps I do hammer curls and regular dumbbell curls. I usually do four sets of hammer curls first since I think these are easier than dumbbell curls. I like to think the hammer curls are warming up my biceps for the dumbbell curls. I can usually see my biceps bulging after these exercises!For my biceps I do hammer curls and regular dumbbell curls.

I hate stubborn belly fat! It amazes me that people who are taller than me have such an easy time keeping a flat stomach even if their overall body fat is higher than mine. I attribute my ability (or lack of) to get rid of belly fat to my height. I'm seeing muscles in my quads pop...
