"Another 6 weeks - or 8 weeks. June 16th! THIS time, I *WILL* weigh 10 lbs less! I will be able to wear my size 10 non-stretchy GAP Jeans, and my bodyfat will be lower..."

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Diane
Sex: Female
Age: 45

Occupation: Administrative Assistant
Personal Website: http://www.crosstimbers-ranch.com
Gym: the No Excuses - Look Good Nekkid - Fitness Club
Gym Location: My house, TX
When I Started: Jan, 2007
How I Started: In 1989 I joined a health club to help me lose some weight (about 10 lbs), and was introduced to Nautilus machines. I LOVED IT! I loved the results. Over the years I've drifted away from it, gained some, had a few kids, had some "life happens" etc. I was terribly stretched out from my last two pregnancies, my muscles wouldn't "go back" no matter what I did. I was fortunate enough to be able to get a hernia repair and tummy tuck surgery, but I was still 34 lbs overweight and not in shape at all! In Feb of 2005 I started taking Tae Kwon-Do, and immediately lost 7 lbs. And it helped my mind SO MUCH! I got a part-time job, then I got separated, then divorced. I couldn't afford an apartment and TKD, so I had to quit. Then I met Dave (insert Angels singing here). After we had been seeing each other for about 8 or 9 mos, I told him I was tired of not exercising, and wanted to do something. He had been lifting using free weights, so he showed me how. Then I found Tom Venuto's book "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" and changed my eating habits around. In April of 2007 I decided to start this bodyspace page.
Why I Love It: I naturally have a muscular build. Weight lifting is a logical choice for me. And now that I've learned to get up early for cardio, I love the feeling I get all day long, and all the energy! Eating right definitely makes me feel better, too. It is so true, you are what you eat!!
How I Stay Motivated: Seeing results, as in progress pictures, measuring and discovering inches lost, and my clothing fitting better all keep me going! I have several outfits that are waiting on me to fit into them. Comments from friends/co-workers "you look slimmer" or "ooh, those are new pants, aren't they" definitely help, too! And everyone here on bodyspace is an excellent source of motivation, too! Dave has never said a mean thing to me about my body/weight, and he keeps me motivated in Oh So Many Ways... ;)
BB Accomplishments: So far, just sticking with it! I've lost 16 lbs so far. And this SO NOT a morning person has learned to like getting up at 5:30 AM to workout!!
Forum Signature: I have found that if I give it an honest try, I can do it.

OH YUK! encouraging progess
Ya know, you look in the mirror, think you look halfway decent, then you get out the camera... I was devastated when I saw this picture! March 2007.  Hope Springs Eternal. This is really hard for me to post, can't hide behind my bathing suit. All I can do is compare to my first side picture from last year, and realize how far I've come. And KEEP PUSHING!

Goals:
Main Goal: Transform My Body
Goal (Short): Another 6 weeks - or 8 weeks. June 16th! THIS time, I *WILL* weigh 10 lbs less! I will be able to wear my size 10 non-stretchy GAP Jeans, and my bodyfat will be lower...
Goal (Long): Ok, what I really want is to look good naked. Right? I want to weigh 138 lbs, have an 18-20% bodyfat percentage, and to have people stop asking me if I'm pregnant. I'm sick of seeing myself overweight!! I have never been overweight, and I refuse to start now!! My four pregnancies have left me stretched, and I'm sick of people asking me if I'm pregnant. I want to look good in anything I wear, and be able to wear anything I want. I would like to have muscles, but I don't need to be ripped. I want to look strong, healthy, fit and sexy! I don't look my age now, and I really want to blow people away when they find out how old I am when I look so good! HAH!
Weight Goal: I want to LOSE 34 lb
Bodyfat Goal: 18%

Well, basically I guess I moved here when I was 9 even! Right after that my parents got divorced...I think Nebraska has that effect on people! Don't you two go moving here in that case!

I figured it was Bellevue. Oh, I know all about Bellevue....Also, I used to live south of there when we first moved here when I was 10, now I live north of there....and I work west of there. I don't go east--that's Iowa land!!
