When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I have always had weight problems. But in the last 2 years I have really gained alot due to work and home related stress and my existing poor eating habits. One day I was going up the stairs at work and it hit me how hard it was becoming. So I started trying to revamp my life. I first started just working out on my own and wasn't seeing much result, but then I had a friend of mine who is a personal trainer go over my routine. I have been doing a four day split that he worked out for me (that compliments my work schedule) for about 2 weeks and I can already tell a difference!
Why I Love It:
I love lifting weights because it energizes me and makes me feel so much more alive!
How I Stay Motivated:
I love the energy and intensity of my work outs. If for some reason I miss a day I feel like crap, so It drives me to work out to keep that good feeling. I have fallen in love with weightlifting.
BB Accomplishments:
So far I have acheived tighter feeling arms and chest. I have also jumped 25 lbs on my bech press work out weight and 35 lbs on my leg curl and leg exention work out weight.
My short term goals are to reduce body fat, to gain muscle mass, and get stronger much stronger. Also I also want to get my walks up to 2 miles in 30 minutes. Current walk is 1.25 miles.
Goal (Long):
I want to eventually reach a body fat percent of 10 to 15 % at that time I will re-evaluate my long term goals. I do not want to just build muscle mass though. Yes I want a physique I can be proud of but I also want muscle strength and endurance to go with it. I want to totally transform my way of life.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 220 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
15%

Well spring is just around the corner. How do I know? My allergies are kicking my butt today. Thank God it is a rest day. I hope they wil ease off tomorrow.
Hope that you are feeling better lately and that the training is progressing. Staying in my thoughts and wishing you well :) (as well as wishing you some sweat drenching, gut wrenching, wanna puke, workouts (lol).
Hello Tribaltattoos75, any progress?? I have finally officially started my "body for life" 12 week transformation on 3/9 that last until 6/1. Let me know how you are doing?
Glad that you dropped by. Keeping active is one way to stay motivated and it is great that you feel everything is going good. I am not saying you are going to, but if you ever find yourself losing motivation etc., make sure you get in touch. I am not just here for the good times, I want you to succeed and am willing to help when needed. As for me I am feeling great and looking forward to each and every day. Keep lifting.
Hope that your leg day ended up going well and hopefully your body will stay up to speed with your workouts. We need to make sure to be posting some transformations on here in the months to come :)
Congratulations on your work and dedication! You've made some massive steps towards your goals judging by your profile info. May your bars be strong, your weights heavy, and your energy high. Good luck.
Your wonderful message means more to me than you will ever know, and I thank you. I have a hard time feeling worthy of the humbling words you sent, as I don’t feel that I have achieved more or even as much as many here on BB.com. My goal now is to assist people in feeling the joy that I get to feel each and every morning since I was able to get fit. Let me know if there is anything that I can do.
You have all the inner strength you need to make your body transformation dreams come true. My wife (bodyspace name: judimax) went from a size 12/14 to a 4/6 and I lost over 50 lb’s and went from 36% to 10% bodyfat in only 12 weeks by following the Body for Life program. You will have to push yourself because it’s not super easy but it’s still not so hard that you can’t reach your goals. We are both here for you if you wish to give us a yell.
