You are awe-inspiring, and I just wanted to say thank you for the butt-kicking you didn't know you gave me.

Unfortunately I hear you've seen what I look like, but maybe now you'll understand why I'm usually too intimidated to post down here. It's coming along slowly, but it is coming along.

And as for FC, she just photographs well its all make-up and lighting

And don't mind IG....he's just a big ol' teddy bear.....who can bench 500# (or so I've heard, hehe). :PPPPPPPP

I had something happen to me last night that made me realize how far I'd come, and I was going to post it, but I realize now its stupid and I wont bother, but just beleive me when I say I was proud that I could do it.

Hence the damn smiley face.

Any way post the pic !!

Don't deny these other people here just cause I'm an idiot.

Also don't make it sound like your a leper or something and I was making fun of you..your a pretty girl with a good body (I saw the pic) and if you have progress to report on it then plese do.

Like Bmom said we are from ALL walks of life here with different goals and ideals. Some of us compete, some model, some just work out for the fun, some are natural, some use gear...but we have the universal goal of being the BEST WE CAN BE. I'm just an average gal who wants to look good and feel better. And I want to do it by taking proper care of myself!

You are more than welcome here.

5. No whining, crying, self pity, moaning, or bitching (well, a little bitching is ok). We all have had our own crosses to bear. We all have had some down right shitty life experiences. NO EXCUSES! This board is here to help you overcome, grow, and be successful. Be positive and grateful that we have each other - take nothing for granted.

Re-read that last sentence.

And one more thing, I'll never let a post fly if it was intended to flame someone�s honest accomplishments.

Your doing just fine. I love to see this look and hear the excitement in the voice when a women first overcomes the physical limitations that have been in placed in there minds. I remember to this day when I came home from work one Sat. and Glycerin was cleaning up a bit. She had always asked me to move the big chair and couch to sweep up under them. Well, that day was different. If I would have poked her with my finger she would have exploded. I came walking up the stairs and even before I could open the door there she was.

She said, �look at the living room�.

I said, �Yah. Oh, you need me to move the furniture...�

�Nope�, she said, �I did it MYSELF! And it was no problem!�

That, my friends, was the biggest realization of what the weight room can do. She didn�t really care about how much she was trying bench, that squats were good for ya...nope, none of that really mattered. The one thing that finally opened her mind to the fact that she could not only over come the physical world, but MOVE SHIT AROUND - like a guy, was when she moved that couch. Hell, now she�s an NPC judge and has had several shows under her belt.

Oh, and just an FYI, I still have to move the living room furniture, not because she can�t, but because she will smack me around if I don�t!!!!

Your hooked Kat, you have seen your life change in a way that you never though possible.

And it is just the beginning......
