When I Started:
Aug, 2002
How I Started:
Three friends influenced me. When I was about 50 pounds overweight, one friend was successful on a low carb diet, another was steadfastly plugging away at a healthy lifestyle, and the third was overweight like me - and ready to do something about it. We started working out together and lost about 100 pounds between us in eleven months' time.
Why I Love It:
I love the feel of muscles under the skin. Also the natural high from a great workout relieves all the stress.
How I Stay Motivated:
I want to stay healthy and active through every stage of my life.

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I have a whey protein drink and listen to the news on the radio while driving to the gym. Not much motivation but I enjoy the clear roads (no traffic at 0515 hrs).

What supplements do you take immediately before your workout? Why?
I usually drink a zip fizz during the workout.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
A distant goal is necessary - but it is also important to focus on one day at a time. It's too easy to get discouraged otherwise.
I have two regular workout partners for MWF. Now that my former workout partner is going to stick around for the summer, I am working out with her on Sunday, Tuesday, and most Thursdays. It is a really great feeling to work out 5-6 days every week. I am pushing to make it into the gym for...
Thank you so much for the encouragement. You are more than welcome to copy the Nike commercial and use it in your BodySpace. Good Luck with your challenge. We are going to lose the weight with a smile!!! Have a Happy & Prosperous New Year 2008!!! :)
