I am tired of my weight controlling me. I have been up and down the roller coaster twice. I Currently weight 270lb. I want to get in shape and stay in shape. I am learning to eat right and looking to regain my energy and stamina.
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel great! (Even if I am not as esthetically pleasing as a Vogue model yet!)
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading everyone's transformation stories and see the pictures motivates me to work harder!
BB Accomplishments:
The first time I had to seriously diet I was trying to get into the Army. Then I weighed 235lbs at my heaviest. I dropped down to 180lbs in about 4 months. I did it the wrong way and the weight loss did not stay. Since then I gained all the weight back and had a baby to boot. I know I can do it because I have done it before. This time I just want to make the life style change permanent instead of instant dieting!

Something that always helped me was remembering to: “Create and indelibly stamp in your mind a mental picture of yourself achieving your goal. Hold onto this picture tenaciously. Try never to permit it to fade. Visualize it often. Your mind will seek to develop this picture.”
If there is anything that my wife or I can do to assist you feel free to give us a yell. We would like nothing better than to see you succeed.
Wanting to lose weight and then finding the right program to follow to make it happen is difficult. I recommend the 12-week Body for Life program. I was able to lose over 50 lb’s, going from 36 to 10% bodyfat and my wife (bodyspace: judimax) went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6 also in only 12 weeks. You may be amazed at the changes your body will make and how soon they occur. Let us know if you wish more info.
