I love working out because it gives me a feeling of control over my body I love the feel of a single muscle contraction, it is something I never felt until I started body building.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have a trainer that keeps me motivated. I have an awesome circle of friends on here that support me in my efforts and Now that I have lost some significant weight and my body has changed, I like the way clothes look on me, so a motivation is to keep making the improvements and wearing clothes I could never wear before.
BB Accomplishments:
My bigges accomplishment to do date is......I am wearing a smaller size pants that I wore in high school!
Forum Signature:
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
This was taken by my trainer, I am wearing a tank top she had made for those of us in her kickboxing class/doing the transformation contest with her. This is one month into the transformation.

I have made the decision to restart my 12 week meal plan from empowered nutrition. I don't really need to loose more weight, I could drop another 5-10lbs, but I am more interested in getting myself in good shape for the holiday season. I figure if I can get my eating habits back on track...
Hi Paula, I can understand why you take a break for a bit! I know there was a lot of crap going on! About me, yeah well, I guess it was bound to happen since I was looking forward to it that it wasn't going to happen as it was planned...should have known... anyways, glad to have you back.
