I realized I was not where I wanted to be. I lost enough weight over a single summer that close friends didn't recognize me when I went back to college. I let things slide over the years, and now I'm back.
Why I Love It:
I love seeing my body change. I've got a great body for this, because I can have one great workout and see a change the next morning.

BB Accomplishments:
