Almost 60lbs later

stargrabber · 03-01-2008, 09:44 PM

While I don't post often I did want to post some progress pics as muscle does matter to me and I follow this group some.

May 2007 (hadn't started changing my ways yet)http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...radmay2007.jpg I was at least 260lbs here.

I believe this one was in January 2008: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...purs011608.jpg

and today after a new cut & foil http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...chel030108.jpg

I am almost at 199 now (will see friday saw 202 few days ago but friday I turn it in to trainer)

I hope to show that lifting and eating right can make some great results when you know your WHY.

little_miss · 03-01-2008, 10:29 PM

Looking great!

inatic · 03-02-2008, 06:35 AM

Girl you have done SO awesome! Im thrilled for ya!

Erik is an awesome coach but he's only as good as the client is willing to work at. You've proved that!

RVcook · 03-02-2008, 06:45 AM

Great results! You've definitely got the discipline down to a science.

hhhmom74 · 03-02-2008, 05:33 PM

Just like your shirt says, you look "FABULOUS!"

Great job!!!!!!!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, is your "why" the benefits of weight lifting, or do you have some super goal behind your motivation?

I have MANY whys but I will list a few.

My dd needs to swim in the deep end and test for it in order to not wear a life jacket at summer day camp and last summer I was a 260lb whale that wore shorts and t-shirt in the pool and was too lazy to teach her.

This summer I plan on wearing a one piece and I will teach her and we will use the pool for exercise and fun!

I want to rollerblade and hike. I want to get to a size 8 and then recomp my body further (I guess you could say this is my "goal size")

I want to compete in a local natural bb show just once in Oct 2009 to show people that you can and will lose weight if you just stick it out and do it the right way. (i.e. non surgery) By the show I will have lost 120lbs of fat.

I want to lead a healthy lifestyle so I can run and play with my dd and our puppy and not be winded. (I could do this now I couldn't last summer)

I have a trip to Vegas this late May for a bunch of us to celebrate our b-days and I want to be a 14 which I haven't been in 15 yrs.

This halloween I want to wear a catwomen or something else kinda swanky to show off my hard work (last year I was brave and wore costume but it didn't look to hot!) I will post the two pics here.

There are many other reasons but this keeps me going every day!

Thanks for all kudos everyone!
