I've been very unhealthy after school ended and I started working full time at a desk job. Spent almost 2 years working a 9-5 shift, eating whatever junk food I wanted and spending the rest of my free time playing video games till 1 a.m.
This lifestyle led me to be very unhealthy as I would get sick constantly and would be constantly lazy. I would come here often always telling myself today's the day to change and get into shape, I would then search the site and see physically fit people and say to myself I can never accomplish looking like that. That lying no-motivation cycle of self denial went on for a year, until one day I logged on Bodybuilding.com and saw the "100k Transformation Contest" I knew that I had to start somewhere, and now this site gave me a goal which I plan to complete.
Edit AS OF 4/10/12 -

Before I started my 12 week 100k Transformation Challenge contest, I had never lifted weights before. I was just a naturally skinny person everywhere but my gut and back. My First week I started out curling 10-15lbs and Bench Pressing the Bar WHILE Struggling at the gym was definitely embarrassing, but I didn't let anything stop me. I had so much motivation and determination that I found derived in MYSELF, that I pushed all the way through until Today, 4/10/12 the Final Day of my 12 week journey. Throughout my 12 weeks everyone except my Girlfriend told me I couldn't do it, even my Parents told me I wasn't going to win the contest and I would just give up like everything else I did. And here I am, 12 weeks later completely transformed I lost 22 lbs of fat and around 17-20% body Fat in 12 weeks. For me it was all about winning the contest, and during my last 3 weeks I kept telling everyone I know i'm not gonna win and my motivation dropped so much. Then on my final day I told myself I was going to win, and I said that because I finally had confidence in myself and in my appearance. It was the life changing journey and the 12 week completion that had made me a winner in the end, whether I won the contest or not. This amazing 12 week transformation has changed my view from just wanting to "LOOK GOOD" to be an inspiration to others, and to be an example of someone who
"Could do it" I love helping others and now so many family members want me to help them get in shape, I love training others now and this is all thanks to Bodybuilding.com
