When I Started:
Jan, 2009
How I Started:
I grew up being the scrawny kid. No one thought I was good at sports due to my size. I was never picked to play with or even just to hang out. I always got tired of it but never did anything about it. Due to a family crisis (which you can read about in my blog), I woke up to the fact that the way I live now determines how I am going to live in the future. In 2007 I took action and decided it was time to break the deadly cycle that disable my life and my father's life. I have discovered great changes in my body and in me emotional life due to a healthier lifestyle. I did not have the experience or education when I first started which determined my immediate level of progress. I started off with cardio only since the thought of weights scared the crap out of me. I eventually added machines to my workout and later on I started doing free weights. Nothing was too consisting and I don't think I was that serious. January 2009 is when I really took it serious so that is why I put my start date to then. For the next eight months I had a couple different trainers who helped me learn the ropes a bit. As of now, I am on my own and I am pretty excited about where this journey is going to lead me.
Why I Love It:
Exercising relaxes me and pumps me up. When I have a bad day, a good workout will always put me in a better mood. I love to workout especially when I am tired because it always fills me with life.
How I Stay Motivated:
The fact that people have never believed in me helps. No one thinks I can add size or do anything successful in my life. Now that I have turned my life around for the better my brothers love to speak negativity into my life (that is when they speak to me). They keep saying I am going to be big and fat just like them. I have to prove them wrong and that gives me so much motivation to keep going. Another way I stay motivated is by looking at the big guys on this site as well as my gym. Sometimes I will picture Jill from The Biggest Loser or just stare at one of the big guys at my gym while I am lifting. That gives me the motivation to finish all of my reps with power. When I get discouraged or want to give up I just take my shirt off and reevaluate myself by looking in the mirror. I see where I am. I remember where I use to be. I think of where I could be. And I think of where they think I will never be able to reach. I also believe that God has given us a temple (our body) to take care of. It is up to us what we do with that body. So I take honor in worshiping God through health and exercise. And that pumps me up spiritually, mentally and physically.
BB Accomplishments:
I have activated my decision to make a change for the better. That's an accomplishment in my eyes. Quitting smoking was a huge accomplishment for myself. (April 17, 2009 was 2 years tobacco free)
Forum Signature:
Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness.

Josh is the all around nice guy. He is willing to help others by what he has already learned. He is a teacher that is constantly learning himself and pouring out his knowledge onto others. His transformation is incredible. He has went from bone rail to buff in just a few short years. His body size is exactly what I am going for. He is a true inspiration not only physically but also intellectually and spiritually.
Dedicatedforlife [ BodySpace ]
I find him inspiring cause of his determination. He has went through huge trials to get where he is. He is a man of dedication, determination and inspiration.

First, I scanned your pics & you're not in that bad of shape. DON'T base your happiness on looking like a ripped competitive bb'r. There's more to life. With that being said, if you want a ripped physique & you're working consistently, then it's all about the DIET, DIET, DIET. Eat CLEAN small balanced meals every 2-3 hrs. This keeps the metabolism revved up & burning bodyfat. Check Tosca Reno's site: http://www.eatcleandiet.com/ GOOD LUCK!

Thank you for the add. I am doing well. I fell down (metaphorically speaking) but I am getting back up and my training is getting back on track. I am working on getting enough sleep and my diet, as I know both are holding me back from my goals. I am learning the basics and trying to remember it all. I will get there. It is nice knowing people are out there rooting for you to succeed. You look great and I hope all is going well for you. Thanks again and stay strong.
