my goal: Lose Fat

I have competed a few times, but have since changed my goals somewhat... the harsh competition diets and supplements are simply too hard on the body. My news goals are to look as though I'm training to compete, without the weakness and crabbiness tha

Background

When I Started: Jan 2002
HOW I STARTED:

Simply got tired enough of being obese to do something about it.

WHY I LOVE IT:

Love the way I feel and look when I'm taking care of myself. I love feeling in control of myself. I get a lot of satisfaction from being able to motivate and help other people. So many people ask for advice, but those who actually take it are so RARE ... those who do and are successful in their fitness goals are an inspiration to me.

My Motivation Program

Honestly, the fear of being fat again keeps me pretty motivated! I get motivation from watching other people who are working hard and overcoming challenges and obstacles to get or stay fit. People who have it "too easy" or "come by it naturally" are not at all motivating to me.

Hello Again!

I'm still here! Were you wondering what happened to me? I'm still liking the diet... it is getting me through the most difficult time of year for those of us who love their food in all of it's greasy, carb laden, sugary glory. I've said it before... you have ZERO cravings on this diet... it really changes you. Yesterday I actually got a bit disgusted looking at a piece of cheesecake. I looked at that pile of goo covered in sticky canned cherries and actaully did the "aughhhh" shiver. I think this holiday season may be more successful than some in the past. So far, I have successfully...

At age 30, I weighed 256 lb and was incredibly unhappy. I think the pics speak for themselves...

Welcome to the Christmas Season!

Well, its officially started... the stores are full of goodies, and the dang things are turning up everywhere. There is no safe place... my workplace is infested with holiday treats and every time I turn around there is another party, mixer or dinner that I am expected to attend. As Sylvester would say, "Ssssakes"!! I am so glad that I am well underway with the keto diet. The weight is beginning to move, and I can honestly say that I have little to no desire for sweets or carbs. I think I am one of the lucky ones... some people experience nasty cravings, I am told. Even on my "c...

guest Hi driven1, I loved reading your story in the "female transformations of the week". I wondered how you dealt with, or if you had issues with, loose skin after a 100+ lb weight loss. I really would like to do a show someday, but wonder if it's possible without excess skin removal surgery. I've lost 110 lbs so far (sort of up and down though) and have a good 20 lbs. left to lose. Any tips or suggestions to see if I might be able to get show ready? Hope to hear back from you, Autumn. Jul 29, 2011 11:14pm

WaynesWorld Hey did you ever look into that beach body thing i told you about. Its a great oppurtunity to do some great things and make some extra money. Feb 11, 2009 11:41am

A.K.O.S.U.A Hey have you heard of a testosterone booster called novadex by Gaspari? I tried to buy it at popeyes the other day and the owner told me that it had been banned and taken off the shelves across the States and Canada by the FDA!! He said the product was that good and was basically like a steroid. He said that no other test booster compares to novadex. Feb 6, 2009 6:48pm

WaynesWorld BTW I really do hope to meet a great lady from here and date and possibly even marry because we will have our desire for good health in common. its just a shame how guys can be so disrespectful to women. I've never had to be that way. Feb 4, 2009 2:22pm
WaynesWorld
WaynesWorld Well I'm a beach body coach so most of my workouts are done at home but i still workout at the gym and most of those new year's resolution guys have already dropped out...par for the course i guess. in my blog i wrote about something that really frustrates me you should go read it.
