When I Started: Jun, 2006
How I Started: After being obese for years, I simply get fed up with being like this, looking like this. I decided to change and change permanently. Now that I successfully conquered my weight I wish to inspire others and prove that it can be done!
Why I Love It: I love how working out has transformed me so far. I look forward to what it will do for me in the future. Besides, now I find it fun!
How I Stay Motivated: Aside from the fact that I now love working out, all I need to do is remember what I looked like before, and that scares me back to motivation.
BB Accomplishments: Clearly my most significant accomplishment is dropping 80 pounds, and doing so in only 4 months. My website tells my story how I accomplished that. At the end of May 2008, I went below 10% body fat comp.
Forum Signature: I am a runaway weight loss success, please check my profile to see how I lost 80 pounds in 4 months.

When fate unites two strangers even heaven and earth cannot tear their love apart.
