I joined a gym for the first time in January 2005, to take off a "few" (about 15!) extra pounds I gained in my first couple years of college from sitting around studying. Then, I got really serious about getting in shape around October of the same year, in preparation for my wedding in February 2006. I knew I was going to see friends I hadn't seen in years, and I wanted to look hott! And, this August, inspired by fitness models and strong women, I decided I wanted to put on more lean mass.
Why I Love It:
I'm addicted not only to the way working out transforms my body but also to how it makes me feel. There's just something euphoric about pumping iron, pushing yourself to the limit, giving it all you got just to pump out one more rep...they say I have "bigorexia" ;)
How I Stay Motivated:
The mirror helps a lot - if I see good results, I want more, and if I start to lag behind, I know that's not how I want to be, so it motivates me to get back on track.
And I have the best trainer EVER - he definitely knows how to motivate me and make me realize how much I'm capable of! Gracias Robert!
BB Accomplishments:
Since I started bodybuilding in August, I've increased my benchpress by about 25lbs and have added almost as much or more weight to most other big movements.

I worked my butt off to get in shape for my wedding. I wish I had had a little more muscle on my frame, but I had limited time so chose to focus on getting lean.
bad quality...i was trying to take my own photo when my hubby walked in :)
I want to bench at least my bodyweight and decrease my bodyfat.
Goal (Long):
I want my bench press to be at least in the triple digits (eventually up to my body weight)and I want great muscle definition, especially in the arms, shoulders, back and abs (gotta have that 6pack).

I am just pounds away from my body weight. It was my goal as well. YOU CAN DO IT! Was hoping to hit it at my comp in Baltimore Saturday, but I had to pull out as I have a 104 temp and am fighting some serious water retention from my kidney disease. Are you able to arch when you bench? I just earned how to do it right and it makes it soooo much easier!
