Joined gym July 2012. Was 105kg, 26% body fat and waist of 107cm. Went hard out with gym doing body pump 3 times a week plus some RPM, Attack and Step. Also ate at about 1500 calories for 3 months. Got down to 94kg and waist to about 99cm.

Took off a few months over our summer with heat and birth of second child. Got back into pump 3 times a week + some cardio about 6 weeks ago. Now keen to do 'real' weights. Did weights from 2005- 2008 with great results but did stall.

Great feeling afterburn, Nice to be stronger, Vanity reasons, Warms you up in winter, Improved fitness, Wanna be able to enjoy competing with my kids when they get older!!!
