High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 1990
How I Started:
While attending univeristy many years ago, one of my core requirements was to to take a physical education class. On the first day of class, I found out that I was the only science geek in the class which was made up mostly of the Marshall University football team. I had never lifted a weight in my life. I was intimidated, scared and expected to be made fun of and treated badly. I couldn't have been MORE WRONG. They took me under their wing, motivated me to do well in the class and inspired me to never give up and to never quit!. It was a life changing experience. After the class was over, I continued lifting and had an awesome workout buddy. He was a preacher, bodybuilder great friend and mentor. I will always be grateful to all of them and am forever a Marshall University Thundering Herd Fan. How lucky I was!!. From that point on, I made training a part of my life.
Why I Love It:
Love to keep in shape. Like seeing the results. Great stress reliever. Mind, body and spiritual balance.
How I Stay Motivated:
After a long recovery from a broken vertebrae and a ruptured disk, I Changed my attitude from "WHY ME?" into "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT". Once I put my mind to something I stick with it. Ask anyone who knows me.
1. All the great people here who are guiding me along the way. A big thanks!
2. My Life credos that I follow:
"Pray, hope and don't worry"
"Put out the good and it will return to you tenfold"

Thank you for all of your motivation and support. Each time I lost a pound you would always leave encouraging comments telling me to stay strong and to keep going and for that I am grateful!
Roxy has been a terrific supporter for me from day one where I started out at 270 pounds. Even when i was hitting plateus and low points, Roxy would always check up on me and that always helped to give me the push that tI needed to stay strong and focused. Thanks Roxy!
