I was fat, lazy, over-stressed at work and didn't like getting my photo taken because I was ashamed of my body. I used to be very active, and wanted to get back to that form, and I found weights a great way to relieve stress and lose weight at the same time.

I love working out because it gets me in a good mood. My heart beat is up, i'm sweating like a boss, I'm moving, and feeling good. I love to challenge myself and my body, and I love feeling the changes in my body getting stronger, less flabby, and just being healthier.
