Background

When I Started: Sep 2002
HOW I STARTED:

I have always been the fat girl in school and at the age of 15, I was weighing in at 200lbs! I decided to see what my doctor could do to help me. Prescription drugs became my first tool to assist with my weight loss. I practically stopped eating and lost a lot of weight in very little time. Of course, I was happy that I looked good in High school but I still didn't know how to live a healthy lifestyle. Once I got to college the weight started to creep up again until I was at my biggest of 220lbs. I tried several crash diets and bought the products that were advertised on TV. Needless to say, that failed! I wish I knew then what I know now. Summer of 2002, I decided I had enough of being fat and I wasn't going to accept myself the way I was. I joined a support group that teaches you about healthy eating and by the fall I had lost my first 20lbs I then decided it was time for me to join a gym and hire a personal trainer. When I first met my personal trainer he asked me a series of questions and one of them was 'what's your goal' I said to him "I want to look hot" he smiled back at me probably thinking 'that's going to be a challenge', but I was determined and motivated to reach that goal. For the past 5 years I've been watching my body transform and by January 2007, I needed a bigger and more challenging goal than just fitting into a cute bikini. I decided I wanted to compete in my first figure competition (November 2008), hoping to get myself in the best shape of my life. I have started training seriously since June 2007 and can't wait to step on that stage.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I have transformed my body dramatically, I have lost 75lbs as of today. I'm hooked now, my next goal is to be able to compete in an figure competition.

Wow! Just reading your story again. Impressed lady. I added you on FB as per your suggestion. Now I'm going to check you out re: Coach details. I do train with Crossfit, but it's very "do as you please". I need a kick in the arse in the right direction.

Business trips - workout and still diet

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 8:10pm
In a couple weeks i will heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia for work.. Its going to be nice to leave Ottawa for a week, but I will be stuck in a hotel room.  I'm planning to keep up with my workouts and diet during that week, i'll have to plan out by finding a good gym since hotel gyms sometimes just sucks and hit a grocery store so i don't have to eat out every day.

RoyceFMurray When you say the cheat made you feel bad, do you mean the food made you feel ill, or you just generally felt off? Hope it wasn't the food making you sick. We all have our cheats we like to indulge in now again. My big one is A&W onion rings. LOL. Good for you on the motivation. That's awesome. I've been pretty good. Back to school so its thrown my routine off a bit. Gotta find a new balance and get back on track so hoping to see some big results this week! :) Sep 11, 2011 9:54pm

RoyceFMurray Ouch. April? That's a long way off. You have my sincere sympathy Nancy. You're a real trooper. Best advice I can offer on that one is keep hitting the gym to keep those energy and endorphine levels up and try not to burn yourself out. Sep 1, 2011 10:44pm
