Lyman High School Attended 1999 to 2003 Longwood, Florida United States
When I Started:
Jul, 2007
How I Started:
I had blown up to about 220 lbs. during, as well as after college. I was in a career rut, hadn't finished school, & was just downright miserable with myself. I had no confidence and no direction. I decided to join the Military, but I had to get (at least some of) that weight off. I got down to 175 lbs. before they'd let me join (still too big, but whatever...) and the rest is history, as they say. I started to see results, began to love it, and just kept going.
Why I Love It:
I'm a very goal-oriented person. I enjoy having something to work towards. Training gives me that. I love feeling strong, healthy, and sexy. I couldn't have those feelings without the weight room.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at my "before" picture helps a lot, but mainly it's everyone here! You all inspire and motivate me to the MAX. You'll never know how much. This community is truly the push that I love.
BB Accomplishments:
I've lost 100 lbs. I hope to add some more accomplishments to this section...gotta get my abs right 1st though. ;-]

lilmonitaupdated Fit Status "needs a new workout partner in the FORT HOOD area. Who digs it?"
He's always got this "I beat you to it" attitude that makes you wanna sprint ahead and really push. Always positive, honest to a fault, and zero bull$h!t. Great initiative. If only all the Army's NCOs were this dedicated! Keep it up, J-Dub!!
He's such an inspiration to so many, myself included. His passion pumps me up. And a Military Man. Being in the Army myself, I love seeing Military people kickin' @$$. Just, WOW.
I started my Veteran's Day off with a 3 mile run and arms workout.
This is my 3rd Veteran's Day in the Military, but my 1st AS a veteran. I must say, it means something completely different to me now than it did then. It has become one moving holiday for me.
I work out 6 days/week. I take Fridays as my "recovery" day. Each day I do at least 30 minutes of Cardio. I alternate HIIT with Long (slower-paced) distant running every other day.
Monday: Abs
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Back & Shoulders
Thursday: Legs & Glutes
Friday:...
How is everything going? I am still making some great progress out here. I only have two months left. I am only 10 pds away from my target weight. 180, here I come.
You've been around? That didnt sound to good. lol Hope u are feeling better! I couldnt believe that happened at Hood!! I had just got off the plane after traveling about 36 hours and heard about it!! Glad to have u back! Things are good here, getting settled in and back to a normal workout schedule after a month or so of not eating quite right and minimal working out. I feel much better now!!! Stay in touch
P.S, Those are some great looking thighs! you have a great body! thank you for the add my friend, and the best of my wishes to you in all of your future goals..
Training is great!!! I am hitting the mat and the weights harder than ever between every TX. to try and sty up for south america in april... Hiow are you?
I hope you get back in your rountine. I am just got back on mine. It was really hard to really push myself like I needed too. I took me forever it felt like to lose the weight I gained on leave.
