My Motivation Program

My family keeps me motivated. Staying healthy and in shape for my husband, my 4 year old, and my 2 year old, is motivation enough. My beautiful mother is also a big motivator for me. She passed away 2 year ago and I know the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.

I find her inspiring because she is tall and lost the same amount of weight I am looking to lose in about the same amount of time.

Crunches
Moms ROCK!! Wow, the tranformation that she went through in such a short time period. Her goals were accomplished with hard work and it shows!! A person cannot cheat at natural bodybuilding and it cannot be faked. Marion3303 is a true inspiration! If there was a physique that I would like to emulate, its hers!

Dannyelle
Marion inspires me because she shows me that through hard work and dedication you can totally transform your body in a short amount of time even during the most stressful of situations.

LIVE SHREDDED Final Essay

Posted in Training  :  Nov 02, 2011 4:27pm

How I accomplished my goal


First, I just want to say this has been an amazing journey.  I have learned so much about myself and changed for the better inside and out.  I am happy to say that I accomplished my goals, losing 20 pounds, and lowering my bodyfat from 21.5% to 8%.  This was definitely not an easy journey, but one thing I have learned is to always pick myself back up and keep going no matter how hard it gets.  I am overjoyed with my transformation and am looking forward to maintaining this healthy and fit life.

BSN Finish First Final Essay

Posted in Training  :  Oct 09, 2011 10:39am

How I accomplished my goal


As soon as I saw the BSN Finish First contest advertised on bodybuilding.com I knew it was exactly what I needed to help motivate me to get back in shape.  I had fallen into a bad rut with a 30 pound weight gain and horrible eating habits.  This has all changed now.  My goal was to get my health back, lose 20 pounds, and get down to 8-10% bodyfat.  I accomplished this and much more.  I transformed not only physically but also on the inside.  The journey was definitely not easy.  I was not perfect at all, I cheated o

week 6 BSN week 2 Live Shredded

Posted in Training  :  Aug 22, 2011 6:46pm
Soooo... I am in week 6 of the BSN transformation challenge and week 2 of the Live Shredded Challenge.  My number on the scale hasnt changed that much so far but I am trying not to focus on that and let it get me down.  I definitely put on some muscle and that is what I wanted to do.  I look leaner and am starting to see cuts so I know my bodyfat has gone down.  I am gonna really focus on cutting now.  My calories have been high so I am gonna lower them and add in more cardio.  I want this bad and will do anything it takes!!!  Time to get shredded :)

mrscwin Girl, you definitely are an inspiration!! My primary fitness goal for 2012 is to continue building muscle. I plan to be a part of the Optimum Nutrition Transformation contest, doing P90X with a couple of my friends. After the X, I'm going to do Les Mills' PUMP. I also want to try a bit of fitness modeling and get my PT certification in 2012. How about you? What are your goals for 2012?? Dec 28, 2011 4:44am
