After I my fiancé left me three weeks before our wedding I kind of let myself go. It’s amazing how much you can let yourself go and never really noticed. One day, my friend emailed me pictures from her wedding and I was shocked when I actually saw what I looked like. I was once a size 7, but nowhere near that now. On March 5, 2007 I took a long look at myself in the mirror and decided I can’t let myself continue this way and it was time for a change. That day I drove straight to the doctor to do a complete physical, so we can make sure I am healthy and stay healthy throughout the course of my diet and exercise. After that, I drove straight to the gym (Anytime Fitness) and started that day to transform myself back.
Why I Love It:
I love working out because of the increase of energy, happiness and confidence I feel. I love it because of how I feel but, of course, it does not hurt when I see family or friends and they tell me how good I am looking and how happier I look. Also, I can’t explain how it feels after an intense cardio session or weight training session, but I love that too.
How I Stay Motivated:
I constantly think positive. I remind myself everyday why I am doing this. I tell myself, its ok if you don't drop the weight over night, b/c you didn't gain it over night. And I also have family and friends that support me and keep me motivated and wanting to do it.

This picture was taken two years ago. This picture you can cleary see the difference in me and what I look like now.
Between the picture to the left and this picture, I can see a difference. What do you think? I can tell a lot of weight has come off the front of me, like my tummy.. You can see it slimming. I like it.
My goal is to lose weight while toning my body to look lean and fit.
Goal (Long):
I want to lose 102 pounds of fat, while toning my body to look lean and fit. I no longer want to look like I do now, I want a body that I can be proud of. With full dedication I know I can be where I want to be before my cruise in July 2008!
What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Yoga pants, or soft fitted pants. Most of my stuff I order from Victoria Secrets online. Believe it or not its really comfy to wear when working out. For the shirt, just a plan tshirt really. I could careless about how I look while there. I just wear whatever get there, do my thing and go home. I do not go to the gym to impress anyone. The gym is me time.Yoga pants, or soft fitted pants.

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
I just started working out and kinda mocked what people did in the gym rather than getting a trainer and learning what to do and how to do it properly and most effectively.
Why I like this video: On Saturdays and Sunday I LOVE being outside when I can. I love my cardio outside. I just started doing this when I workout on weekends in the mornings. I love starting my days like this.
Ok, so I am kind of tired of my old routine in the gym so I am changing it up just a tad. My workouts are great, but I feel they could be a little stronger so I am going to bump it all up a notch. I am only showing what I intend to focus on that day not the actual exercise, weight,...
