When I Started:
May, 2006
How I Started:
Mainly concerned about health, in particular weight-related issues that came up. Became interested in weight loss and muscle building as a result.
Why I Love It:
The best start of the day! More energy after an hour-long workout. Prepares for meeting the day's challenges. Like seeing the progress and changes. Seems to be a part of my life now. It bothers me when I can't or don't workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
Self-motivated and goal-oriented. Encourgement and comments from family, friends, other people, and BB.com posters has helped very much. A lot of people who know me well, but haven't seen me in awhile claim not to have recognized me or have to take a 2nd look. I don't think I look that different, but guess so.
BB Accomplishments:
See some definition in arms,legs, chest, back. Weight loss and muscle building are becoming evident since May 2007 when the 1st BFL challenge was completed.

Happy New Year to all Bodyspace friends and members! My best to you for reaching your goals in 2009! Thx for the support!
Great workout week! Still got a holiday eating mentality, but that should be gone by the end of today. Back to work and a better eating plan on Monday.
Doing just general weightlifting on dumbells,gym machines, and a friend's backyard equipment in May 2006 - no specific program or routine. Joined a gym in July after friend relocated. Looked at Men's Health/Muscle & Fitness mags. Went on a crash of something I read and stopped buying...
