I looked at myself after having 3 kids and could not stand the person I was looking at in the mirror. I was not happy, did not fit into anything comfortably and the scale read 210 lbs. I was obese and had over 40% bodyfat on me:( After losing over 75lbs I feel better about myself, my husband began to train me as he had surpassed the trainers at our gym and he also knew where I was coming from (still saw the fat me in the mirror some days)Startef out wearing size 26 (pushing a 28) and now am a 4. Still amazes me looking back at old pic? Lost over 1/2 of me and the best shape of my life since high school. He also knew that I really had to be pushed and noone else would do it so the journey then began for me even more.
Why I Love It:
It has given me my life back, my self confidence back and my energy back. My kids tell me I'm pretty and kids are so honest that it feels good when they once used to tell me I had a big butt :)
How I Stay Motivated:
My husband keeps me motivated. Not to mention the shopping sprees to buy new clothes just because I can fit into them now and look good:)
BB Accomplishments:
Competitions: none yet but thats not to say there wont be any in the future.
Personal Ones: I never in a million years would of pushed myself so hard and acheived the toneness that I have gained recently from my training with my hubbby -- also I still am in shock when I see what I can lift weight wise:) I always underestimated myself - but not any longer am I doing that!

I want to look the best that my body will allow, lose fat (approx: 11 lbs more) and gain muscle so I feel confident enough with my work and my health in order to compete in figure competitions in the near future.
