Lauri Rothberg - What It Takes To Succeed.

**webmaster** · 05-29-2003, 06:00 PM

My entire childhood was one of absolute torture. The other kids in school would all get together in the hallways and bark at me. This abuse went on for more than 10 years. And in all honesty, it is only recently that I realized they were wrong... I knew it was that moment when I made up my mind. I was going to start over. Find out what I did to get in shape!

Lauri- I thought my story of how I got into weightlifting was inspiring... it's not even close to yours. I'm glad we got you to write for this site.

2 thumbs way up

Lauri,

I just read your article and I have to say, to me your story is the epitome of bodybuilding. It is not about giagantic monsters with ripped muscles nor is it about the ads or money or fame... Bodybuilding is about lifting your body, mind, and spirit to a higher plane... You have most definitely accomplished that! Excellent work! Great article! Now keep up the good work...

I am as new to the competitive level as you and recently experienced some very familiar emotions. I think the best feeling for me was as I walked on stage, how the feeling of nervousness disapered and was replaced by a calm feeling of pride and self-satisfaction. What was your most memorable moment of your transformation?

Jay

Lauri, you're an inspiration. I sometimes read the transformation stories on Bodybuilding.com for encouragement when I feel overwhelmed by the amount of weight I need to lose after having my last child. Your story has encouraged me to be more disciplined and stop making excuses or being depressed about my appearance.
