Overall Goal: I want to get that super cut look ... going to try and get my Body Fat % to a much lower number in the next month or two, then get as ripped as possible ;)
I had weighed only 110 lbs in High school in New Jersey ( I'm 5'8" ) and never worked out. I just didn't think I ever needed to. I moved to Florida when I was 22 years old and STILL weighed 110 lbs.
In 2004 I was involved in a severe Car Accident and it took me more than a year to recover. I was told it would take 2 or 3 years, but I was determined to get better as soon as I could.
The accident was so bad I had to learn to Walk again, I had a brain injury and I had gained alot of Weight.
I weighed the most I ever did in my whole life -- around 134 lbs -- yuck ---
I decided to get certified thru the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2005 when I was still going through my rehab.
I figured it all happened for a reason, and maybe I was meant to be helping others in fitness and wellness, since I almost died in the car accident. I actually had 2 panic atacks while talking my exam, but I did pass it ~!
I really like the idea of starting a Non-profit geared towards Childhood Obesity. ( but I would need some help -Anyone interested in helping me start one up ?)
so ... I've now been at the 120-125 lbs for some time, but I'm not as lean as I should be. My body fat % is a terrible # , it's embarrassing actually, so my new goal is to lower it. :(
*** I now want to be a FITNESS Model --or at least I'm playing with that thought ---
I just turned 38 this NOV, so the goal is to get in the BEST shape as possible, then get pictures taken IF I can get the money for professional shots ** ANY HELP or ADVICE would be appreciated, I did model when I was younger, but never Fitness Modeling **
Why I Love It:
It just feels GREAT while working out~!
How I Stay Motivated:
LOOKING at some of the AMAZING bodies on THIS website ~!!! and reading the great stories too ...
I want to keep my body bikini ready all the time, it keeps me on track and makes me feel okay with my body.
I'm single, SO I feel if I keep my body in good shape then maybe old me will catch myself a man ~ :) just kidding, or am I ? ;)
BB Accomplishments:
Losing the 15 lbs and keeping it off

I think she's done such an amazing transformation with her body!
It's one thing to go from skinny to adding muscle, but it's soooo much more difficult to lose weight first.
AMAZING~!!

What tricep workout has worked best for you?
SKULL CRUSHERS for sure ~!! I use a barball , not dumbbells to do them - I LOVE them~! I do 4 sets of either 12 or 15 reps, if I can, but I make sure to fatigue at set 4
You know its not really hard to do fitness modeling. There are lots of photographers who like to shoot fit women. the hard part is getting in the magazines
Hi Lady, that is very thoughtful of you! So nice to hear from you too - I hope all is well with you and I'd like to hear how training has been for you too. Mine has been going well, although the demands of school interfere with my time there!
oh you know the usual moving furniture for 4 hours than gym for two and eating every chance i get :P need to put on some weight in the offseason though, how about you
Skin fold calipers will do the trick...if you are competing there are special diets for cutting as well. I have photos of my cut stage and modeling photos. My cut phase is unhealthy and unrealistic. All my pics are my all year round physique and how I look, it never changes.
Nothing wrong with that. For myself, I will do a competition if I feel like I need to get myself more motivated but to be honest, much more rewarding things have happened to be by not competitng. It's so cool your into your workouts like you are! Enjoying working hard and liking what you see in the mirror is most important, not so much competitng.
I'm good. Long time no hear. How is your fledgling modeling career going? I put up a video of myself from last Tuesday on my page. Go to "personal website" and click. Feel free to leave a comment on Youtube or you can leave one on my comments page. Old Jews like flattery just like anyone else. :)
Hi! Well I havent been doing much as of late cause I recently had parathyroid surgery but I'm hoping on Thurs my doctor gives me the go to hit the gym hard again! How is the cutting coming along? Are you looking to compete in bodybuilding or figure?
