Overall Goal: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear,an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Fit Status:
Was invited to be a Guest speaker at my Doctor's weight loss clinic tonite!!!
Unlike most of the bio's I read on bb.com - I was never athletic, I was a band geek, and a darn good one !!!
I started really working-out for the first time at age 47. I was obese for years, working with various nutritionist for one or two appointments, but really floundering, looking for answers, not having any success, not knowing what to do.
When I did the treadmill I would never sweat and when I lifted weights I was never sore. I was lost.
Why I Love It:
I love the Adrenaline rush from lifting. I was shocked that my body changed, the more I lifted, dieted, and stuck with cardio the more changes I saw. I had no idea someone could transform their body so much.
How I Stay Motivated:
Being on BB.com motivates me, reading and seeing how people are so dedicated to their sport is extremely inspirational for me. Bodybuilders Rock !!!
BB Accomplishments:
1. Losing 60 lbs in 10 months and have kept it off for one year.
2. Having a before and after Reader Transformation article written about me in the April 2008 issue of Muscle and Body Magazine.

3. Winning bb.com Transformation of the Week in the Over 40 Category !!!

I've completed two of the TT WO's plus I completed 700 weighted crunches with a 25 lb this week, I think I see some definition. Let's see if I can get another 700-800 weighted crunches in this week coming up !!!

What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
Right now I'm doing eliptical. I used to do a lot of plyometrics from Oxygen Magazine or maybe I'll do jump roping. I set-up my own circuit training sessions - 30 seconds mountain climbers, rest 10-30 seconds, then go to jump rope, then maybe to jumping squats. I used to do sledge-hammers and "road-work" PM if you want me to explain further. My back is hurting me so I have to lay-off some of the intense stuff, but it's fun, I miss it !!!Right now I'm doing eliptical.

Hello
I am Miss Flora, 24 years of age,single(never married).
I am self assured girl with a huge sense of humor. I am sincere, honest,easy going,sensitive, passionate,romantic,caring and God fearing.
l just saw your profile and became interested in knowing you more, l will be happy if you contact me through my email address(florajonson5@yahoo.com )so that i will tell you all about me and also send my pictures to you.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thanks for stopping by, Carl, and for telling me about TT! I'd really like to know more about it before buying the e-book. I spent $$ on P90X and had to stop in the 6th wk as it (all the pushups) was KILLING my bad shoulders. I don't want to waste more $$ or aggrevate my injury. Any advice?
Hey Carl! Thanks!!! I'm tryin! Hope you had a great weekend! We're still on the road--in Casper, WY. Hockey tourney over, but we had to stay over 1 extra night because of weather. We'll hope for clear skies tomorrow!!
Would you mind if I add you as a friend? This is my 1st day here and I don't know how to add friends yet...help. Well, just looking for a friend. Feeling a little alone here.
I love Leo Buscaglia, he could (and did ) teach this world a thing or two about love,huh! I have lost some weight, and I have added a bit of muscle. Want to stay fit for the rest of my life. I am 40 now, and it is really important to me to keep getting better, and better! Glittergirl69
Hi Carl, thanks for adding me. Tabata is exellent...as for TT, well I was only half way through before a pre-existing injury got worse.. I probably shouldnt have even begun TT- its more intense and aggressive than any other type workout program ive heard of. Your progress is incredible, I rlly admire ur will and discipline in getting so far, its quite a rare achievement :)
Thanks Carl. I still need those lower abs to start coming in. UGH!!! Well, that and the whole 6-pack. Or 8-pack. :) Hope your injuries are getting better.
