Started lifting when I was 15 (you know, 5 lb dumbbells) and I remember seeing women with muscles and just knowing I'd someday get there...I'm definitely still getting there...but I've since learned a lot about lifting and eating clean.
Why I Love It:
Body/self awareness, confidence/self-esteem, character, endorphins, adrenaline. It's empowering; you're relying on muscle to primarily shape your body, it's much less about genes, what other people think or what the scale says.
How I Stay Motivated:
Getting more compliments and feeling best from phases of lifting and eating clean vs. any phase of dieting. I really just enjoy being strong (and a girl!)
BB Accomplishments:
Going from group classes to the weight room with confidence.
Forum Signature:
Be neither a conformist or a rebel, for they really are the same thing. Find your own path and stay on it.
I want that sculpted, buff, strong n solid look, with cuts and definition. I wanna be a strong woman inside & out. I don't want anything to hold me back.
What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
Don't fall into societal habits or traditions. EAT WHAT GIVES YOU ENERGY and supports healthy only! It should be your life plan. It starts with really changing how you think about real foods vs. our ideas of food and meals etc.Don't fall into societal habits or traditions. EAT WHAT GIVES YOU ENERGY and supports healthy only!

What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm kinda intimidated at the gym! I just started a new Gold's membership and I find myself shying away. This is not me!
You look amazing. You have a wonderful shape and size. Great work. Your photos are really motivation. I wish you a wonderful day and a good start into the weekend.
I jsut wanted to say thank you for the add. It looks like you are right on track with meeting your goals. Good luck and if you evr need motivation and encouragement, just let me know.
I stopped by to say "way to go" and to wish you nothing but success as you continue towards your fitness goal. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you are proving that with hard work and determination it can be. I look forward to watching your progress. You are an inspiration to so many others. Stay strong, focused and determined.
