When I Started:
2001
How I Started:
Lost 90 lbs in 2001 and started hitting the gym. Felt like I found myself when I picked up the first dumbbell.
Why I Love It:
Makes me feel empowered; sounds cliche' I know but its true. Especially when I finish a workout and I didn't want to go.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at all the profiles on BB.com has definitely helped me to get motivated. Also seeing fast results from the new program I've started off fitnesspoynters.com has helped too. I wish the people in my life were more encouraging but thats their problem, not mine
BB Accomplishments:
None but I've been asked once or twice if I compete. (Of course that was in my earlier years) Its enough for me.

liftindivachanged Weight from 151 lbs. to 155 lbs., a 4 lb. gain in 68 days
My first Olympia was in 2004. Didn't go again until 2008. Been through tons of crap in those 4 years and my training had suffered. I look at all these beautiful fit women and I think "Where could I have been if only...?" Time to stop playing a whiny tit and get myself back to where I want to be. Time to stop being a lazy self indulgent over indulgent etc etc and become the woman I was; before school, before marriage, before baby. I miss that woman more than anyone will ever know. She was strong; in mind and body. Capable, disciplined. She never made excuses. I know I'm in here somewhere
She's found the dedication and committment I search for everyday. Despite of, or maybe because of, the things she's gone through, she has been able to achieve many of her goals and attain the physique I am working toward.
I would never take anything away from friends of mine and kudos to one who just lost 30 lbs with that smart cookie plan....but Im a little irritated with the lack of congrats I get for the hard work I put into my diet and workouts and the results I've gotten. I sacrifice and push myself every...
Amber, saw your profile while visiting a friend. Was the O great this year or what? I didn't get to go in person this year, but did watch it on line.
Best of luck to you in the new year. Lift hard & Eat Clean.....
You are on your way and looking great. I believe that with your determination you will achieve all your fitness goals. I look forward to watching your continuing progress. Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless. Remember: “God didn't promise you a day without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun without rain. But He did promise you strength for the day, comfort for your tears and a light for your way.”
