When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
I changed my start date to October 2009, and decided to change it back. I have to be honest with myself that I have been "trying" to get in shape and embrace the bodybuilder lifestyle for a long time. To change the date is not being honest and I need to face the truth of my past failures to succeed in the future. I failed because I quit. I've finally realized that in order to be healthy and build the body I want, I have to put in work. It was hard to work out while I was in school because of time constraints; but now I am out of school, working, and have the time. It's time to work. It also doesn't hurt that now I have a gym in my office building.
Why I Love It:
I need to relieve the stress. It makes me feel good, and I want to be healthy. I am also enjoying seeing my muscles getting bigger. I think I am genetically capable of putting on good muscle mass although noone in my family is an example. I am the only one interested in bodybuilding.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think about all the times I quit and got the same result... not achieving my goals. I want to make a significant change in my body and life. I have to stick with it. It makes me angry with myself when I think of all the times I was not committed to changing my body for the better. I get a rush everytime I accomplish something new in a workout. The mirror is also a great motivational factor for me because I have noticed that I tend to show results from workouts quickly. The mirror is starting to become my friend instead of my enemy.
BB Accomplishments:
None yet... But I am starting to think I want to compete one day.

I want to gain muscle and lose fat. It has taken me a long time to really get serious about bodybuilding. I want to lose down to my goal weight of 175 while building muscle.
Antonio gives great advice. He is an inspiration to me because he has worked hard to achieve his goals. He has lost a lot of weight and built muscle. His dedication inspires me and I respect his advice because the results show in his pictures. I want to have my own results to show.
I did it! LOL. I completed the dumbbell total body workout and even took some pics during for progress photos. The only thing I didn't complete was the abs exercises. I was only able to do 9 out of 2 sets of 15; but I'm going to keep on working. My abs have always been the hardest part...
the thing is........we all start somewhere, im glad i got the early pics up that i can go see cuz it makes me realize where i came from and i have gone along way! keep it up
