When I Started:
Nov, 2007
How I Started:
Started with cutting calories and portions. Making the right choices, and have gradually tweaked my diet. Now choosing just the right bang for my buck calorie-wise and I am officially a "gym rat" now... Haha!
Why I Love It:
Everything stressful or bad just goes away. I totally zone out! It's my world and I Loooove it!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Ultimately, its seeing my body transform, building confidence, and feeling stronger. I wish I could be like some other people and say that I did it for my family, but this is literally the only thing that I do for MYSELF! That keeps me going because I take care of and do everything else for my family.
This pic was taken when baby was about 6 weeks old. This was it for me all the water weight I was going to lose was gone and here I was. OMG, Never again!!!
On vacation here too. This is why I have put on a few pounds. Grrrrrr!

Goal (Long):
In '06/'07 I started to work hard on losing the extra weight that I had accumulated and building great muscle. Just as I was feeling as if I didnt look "fat" in every picture that was taken of me, I became pregnant. Needless to say that when I get pregnant I gain tons of weight. Well I did! 68 pounds to be exact, topping me out at 250 pounds when I went in to have baby. Then the first time I got on the scale again was 1 week later and I was still 238 pounds. I thought OMG this is what I am left with, I DONT THINK SO! First off I nipped my baby-bearing days in the bud and now my body is completely mine again, forever, HAH! LOL! My baby is now almost 20 months old and so far I have lost 88 pounds since my first weigh in after baby. I am going to the gym again and eating clean now, completed (taking 2nd place) the same contest that I did last year with my husband and one of my friends. I am loving every bit of my new lifestyle. Next, some friends, the hubs and I are headed to Florida in August and I have an Ed Hardy bikini to look "good" in!!!! Wish me luck!
she has overcome so much. I know just how she feels. There arent many women on here that I truly relate to but its nice to know what I can somewhat look forward to my body accomplishing even though I'm older..... age is all in your head!!! YOUR AWSOME GIRL!!
Okay, so I have been a member here for a while now. When I started I wasnt as dedicated at heart as I am now. I want this so badly but what do I do when I have no support? I know this may not be a big deal to many of you but I am having a hard time getting the "family" to...
Oh it's hit and miss here too. I have good support if I could quit getting sick. I swear I've gotten everything my son has brought home from school regardless if he's gotten it or not!!! What happened with your support? I'm here if you need to chat.
Well well well...thank you very much for your extensive reply and the friends add! Exactly...why add a """friend""" if this so called friend has nothing to say (unless he or she is mute LOL) let's stay in touch!! Michael :-)
