When I Started:
Sep, 2002
How I Started:
I was always an active person. A ballet dancer to be precise...but a bad breakup led me into a slum and I gained 15 lbs.
I took my active, skinny lifestyle for granted and ate without a care. I had stopped dancing and I became unrecognizable. It scares me that I could become so fat without realizing. The weight just slowly piled on, and slowly I became comfortable with my new size.
Two pregnancies later, I am back on the train to lose 35 more lbs of this weight.
I married a fitness enthusiast so I am grateful that he gives me a proverbial kick in the pants when I need it. That and the rubbing of the thighs and the embarrassment I feel at chrismas musicals at church led me to say "enough is enough" being overweight is not for me.
Why I Love It:
It is healthy and there is always something more that you can do. Nothing really feels as good as conquering the weight issue. Extra fat is just gross and unneccasary.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at other people's transformation helps. Positive words to myself.
I am not sure if I found the perfect motivator as yet cause I am still overweight.
BB Accomplishments:
Lost 10 lbs mommy weight.
Fitting into sizes 3-5 as of November 30th, 2007

Today I am precisely right back to where I started in 2002. 140lbs, unmotivated and eating poorly. Except..EXCEPT that I have a snoring baby girl laying right next to me.
I was rearing to get back on the fitness train right after I gave birth. There were no 'ifs' or 'buts' about it....
Congratulations on your little one, too! I can't wait to see some pics. I have been bummed about the c-section and not being able to exercise. I am so ready to get this fat off of me! Being a mommy has been great, but overwhelming at the same time. How is your little one doing? How is your incision healing up?
Many blessings with your pregnancy, too! What trimester r u in? I am in 2nd. I have been having some depression issues, but so far everything else is o.k. I will be finding out the baby's sex in 2 weeks. Do you know what you are having?
haha, awww, remember that profile is carrying a little miracle!! i'm glad you're doing well and all is well - you are very inspirational, my friend!! :)
Aww, I'm sure you are absolutely beautiful and gorgeous carrying that little miracle inside you! Hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year... I truly am SO stoked for you!! :)
The pregnancy is going well. I did lose muscle in the beginning from lack of exercise and low protein (protein and my stomach didn't agree with eachother) so I'm more "skinnyfat" like now. But my belly looks great still.. I don't mind it at all. 21 weeks now.
Hello friend!
All is well??? How is the challenge going for you??
I think that you should post a new blog and tell us aaaallll about it!! hint hint!! ;)
