Overall Goal:  To change everything. I want to get into the best shape of my life. I want to lose the fat, build muscle, and turn it all around.

Motivation Level: 10/10

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.

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

Well, I lost a month or so of progress due to life... Yeah, it's sounds like the standard excuse... But it's not.  My Wife had a seizure and was put on meds to get her healthy again, but the meds barred her from being able to drive for a month.  So I was her official driver for that period...
