One day I just got off the treadmill and ventured on over to the free weights. At first I was intimidated by all the testosterone, muscles, grunting etc... I got over that once I started seeing how quickly my body was transforming. I no longer felt like a little lamb amongst a bunch of wolves. I started getting compliments and respect from other members and trainers. I now have other women ask me how to lift. This has kept me motivated to keep going. I still get embarrassed when I can't lift a certain weight but I keep on trying.

I love the way bodybuilding makes me feel and look.
