When I Started:
Apr, 2009
How I Started:
I used to work out heavily back in the Navy, my friend got me hooked on it. We really hit it hard, got on a great diet, were taking supplements and loading up on protein. I gained a ton of muscle and was very fit for a few years. But I lost track of myself over the past half a decade and just got myself back into it in April of 09.
Why I Love It:
It's fun, it's cleansing, I enjoy the feeling you get when your body responds and you feel the energy of truly being alive. It's really soothing and exciting at the same time, I absolutely love it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I just think about my family. My Mother died at 31, so I have always tried to take care of myself. I slipped for a while, but I want to remain healthy for my Wife and future children. And for myself. So I just think of them.
BB Accomplishments:
None, I am really just a novice. I am just learning this stuff as I go, still making a lot of newbie mistakes. But I am staying with it.

This is me about 3 weeks into my refit, after a loss of about 5 lbs and was just starting to tone up. Still have a long way to go. Sorry for the silly head, it was done when I posted this on another site.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?

I just stopped by to wish you success as you work towards your fitness goal. Exercising and a proper nutrition program helped both myself and my wife (bodyspace: judimax) lose a significant amount of weight and look better than we ever have. If there is ever anything that I can do to be of assistance please feel free to give me a yell. I would like nothing better than to see you achieve all your fitness dreams. Stay strong, focused and determined
