When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
i've always been pretty active and I used to be in pretty good shape. Then, i got pregnant & Gained 45 lbs. Before I made the decision to lose my leftover baby weight, I could count on my hands how many times I'd been to the gym to lift weights. I was a not-very-dedicated cardio bunny & probably would have continued to be if I hadn't found this website. Discovering this website is how I got started in weightlifting.
Why I Love It:
I love how I feel after working out. I love feeling strong & empowered.
How I Stay Motivated:
Music and Looking at my 'old' pictures & my current body. Also, looking at the beautiful, sculpted women on this page. Having a story that is similar to me (parent, full time job, etc.) serves as even more motivation.
BB Accomplishments:
graduating from cardio bunny, to nautilus machines & cables to DUMBELLS AND BARBELLS!!! YAAAYYY!!
Forum Signature:
I HATE OFF DAYS.
5'7". 145 lbs.
"train" 5 days a week (no sitter on weekends)...
mandated cardio:
moderate or interval cardio 3-4 days a week
light cardio 1-2 days a week.
ladded extra:
unch time weight lifting (about 1 hr) 5 days a week.
whey, soy, and casein proteins
prenatal vitamin, fishoil, adding small amount of creatine after weights.

wanna get leaner, stronger and improve my cardio vascular fitness.
Goal (Long):
Lose POUNDS of BODY FAT.
Build POUNDS of muscle.
Become comforable with ALL the equipment at the gym.
I'm liking how the 9 - 11% BF bodies are looking on here. My 'long term goal' is to maintain a body fat just high enough to continue getting my periods... between 12 and 15% BF for the rest of my life.
For now, my plans are as follows:
*COMPLETE* (1) Lose excess baby weight
(2) Build muscle & begin sculpting my body while dropping bodyfat (WOW, isn't this everyone's goal) [using a combo of weight lifting & moderate cardio].
(3) Still maintan my ability to run - but adjust lifting & eating patterns to accomidate this without becoming bony. I'm not trying to run marathons, but several running events are on my goal list for the year. Times aren't very important to me... like with many things, I want the experience. I want to be able to say, "I did that."
**NOTE TO SELF**: "chest" measurements are really WAIST measurements (taken 1" below navel).
Also, (until I become more comfortable in the gym & start w/ freeweights, BB weights are noted from MACHINES, not BarBells). est. E-Z Brabell wt is 22lbs. Est Barbell weight is 30lbs.
"EVENT" goals this year:
Munich Marathon - OCT (finish)
I 'met' her when the HXYcut challenge 1st started.. she's one of few people I actually 'talk' to on here. She & I were both losing our baby weight. She's very nice & has made INCREDIBLE PROGRESS - which is, no doubt, due to her hard work... A 'real life' inspiration - not some lady who has nothing else to do but work out... and still doin' the damn thing.
this woman's body is *SICK* I just hope i can look as good as her. ESPICALLY when I become 'a woman of a certian age'... she looks better than most woman MY age. A REAL inspiration.

Thanks so much for your motivational words :) It has been an uphill battle for me as well. But I kept at it and I know you will as well. Keep at it, you look great!
thanks and congrats on motherhood! How you doing with your bikini goal by memorial day? based on your arm profile I think your already there. Happy Easter!
Thanks for the add - I'm happy to have you as a new Bodyspace friend! I'm priviliged to one of the few male adds! Our goals are a little closer - I will actually be going to Hawaii starting on June 20th - about a month after Memorial Day.
i totally know what you mean. my babe is teething and so he bit down on me. it wasn't fun but he seems to enjoy the bottle now. Also the hydroxycut doesn't seem to have any side effects for me. just be sure to use it as directed.
lol! I love that! back-to-better-than-pre-baby-b ody-buddies! :D I did finally take them. I did post them, but just on my bodyspace. I haven't put them on the thread yet. lol I'll get to that late.
So I'll be starting this monday. It took me a good week and a half to get everything together. So what week are you on now?
I am following the directions on the box as far as # of pills/day. I do drink caffeine regularly... lots of Starbucks! But, these pills must be more potent or something! Today was better, not as shaky... feel like I could run to the ends of the Earth tho! When do you start taking your Hydroxycut?
Hey Newme09! How are you doing, you pics look awesome your really kicking butt lady! How long are you doing the hydroxycut transformation? Are you going all the way til the end?
my weekend wasn't that great also. :) childcare issues that have been keeping me out of the gym. but i have the new workout plan called "housework" so I have been doing that and its been helping I think. :)
