kc91181's Scivation/PrimaForce Transformation Competition Log (Cut)

kc91181 · 10-29-2005, 09:58 PM

Hi! My name is Kim. Here we go.... Day one of my journey to
transformation. Well its day one for the contest, actually 540 and some
odd days in my actual Journey. I have been dieting for the better part of
a year and a half.

It all began April 2004. A very naive me knew I was getting pretty heavy.
After a bout with depression, I knew that the anti-depressants I was taking
were causing weight gain, but as most people know we can't blame it ALL on
the meds. So I hadn't been on a scale for over a year and I never imagined
just how out of control my weight had gotten until a friend talked me into
joining a contest called "Shape Up PA". This is a contest where teams of ten see which groups can lose the most weight. Needless to say I had to step on the scale. 245lbs, Yikes!!! I think I cried the rest of the day, but I
also knew what had to be done. I got serious about weight loss and I lost
30lbs with the help of Weight Watchers and some light exercise. Around
October 2004 I hit a very discouraging plateau which lasted until December.
That was when I met my boyfriend, some of you may know him as
TheUnlikelyToad, I know him as Jordan. His passion for lifting and fitness
was inspiring. I wanted to be the best that I could be too. Over the past
ten months (the best 10 months of my life I might add) I have lost 40 more
lbs with better diet, more cardio and the addition of weights into my work
out schedule. That was unitl about three weeks ago, when I "fell off the wagon" and gained 5 of those lbs back. But over all I feel great however, I am not at my goal so I need to push forward, which is where this contest comes in. I think that this contest will help me stay on track and stay focused on my goals.

My plan is to work out 5-6 days a week (2-3 days lifting, 3 days cardio) while maintaining a low cal/low carb diet with one cheat day a week. As far a supplements go it's all about the Sesamin and Thermal Rage.

Here are my pics.... the first is just to give an idea, as to where I have come from...

TheUnlikelyToad · 10-29-2005, 10:06 PM

Hi Sweetie. I just wanted to say that I'm very proud of you for MANing UP and posting those pictures... ESPECIALLY that one from so long ago.

Without getting all Louis Dorman on your ass, I'm just gonna say one more thing: Go Get'em Tiger! You know I'll be here to help you every step of tha way.

Kim,

Congrats on overcomming the depression. Jordan is very lucky to have such a strong and beautiful girl. Keep up the hard work. I'll be rooting for you!

Power-Quest · 10-30-2005, 05:46 AM

Good luck , great story , theres lots of nutrition and training info on this site to help you when and if you feel stuck.

Scivation · 10-30-2005, 11:48 AM

Good luck!

teewoods · 10-30-2005, 06:18 PM

kim,

welcome to bb.com hope your journey goes well.... you might want to post this thread on the female journal section, lots of VERY positive support and you wont get your thread lost in the 100's of other journals here. Also, the great thing about the female journals is that most of them are cuttting unlike the ones here that are mainly about bulking.

Good luck

Thank you!

I've also had a serious bout of depression in the past which caused me to gain about 30lbs of fat. Personally, once i set a goal like this for myself, the motivation to change my body into what I knew/Know it can become helped a LOT in overcoming my depression.

It's great to see more people who have overcome things like this, and have made an active decision to make the best of their situation. Good luck with the transformation!
