2007 Transformation Contest

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing since the end of the contest.

Everyone staying on track or have any accomplishments since the contest ended?

I know I’ve said it before, but I will never, ever forget this, so I just wanted to keep in touch with all of you.

Anyone still here?

Matt had his Oreos, Vanessa will have her peanut butter buffet this weekend and as for me.  I finally broke down and "binged" on TWO Vanilla ALmond Sustain bars last night  I feel so shameful but they were good!
Not much of a binge but I still have almost seven weeks of dieting to go if I have any plans of making the NPC Lehigh Valley show.  The date kinda crept up on me, but hopefully I still have enough time to prepare.

At least than I get a few slices of pizza that Phil is buying

Well, did I scare you guys? lol I hope everyone is doing well, training hard and still hanging on to their results. I finally broke off my Oreo Cookie habbit, damn that was hard to do. But now I am 100% back on track. Started my clean bulk a few days ago and things are going very well.

Here is a pic taken the other day.

Bodyweight is at 195lbs bf is approx 8 - 10% I have entered a Bodybuilding contest set for November and I will be in the Mens Open. I cant wait!!

Well, it does look like an Oreo! lol I REALLY need to kick my Oreo Cookie habbit. I hated those things until now…. Hell i ate a whole bag full last night!

..From the "Who should win" poll thread..

My blog entries weren’t always positive. I like to be realistic in everything I do, and losing weight / transforming your body in any way is no easy task. It is a challenge that requires the utmost of dedication, hard work and discipline. Some of which I lack sometimes, and lacked alot during this competition. And I told you guys that. I have no problem admitting to anyone that I’m having problems and such and such a time, because it’s no stroll in the park. Stick with it however, through the good and the bad, and magic happens. I’m down 101lbs as of this morning [in total, not during contest], and still have some weight to lose before summer.

If you start something like this, it will NOT always be easy. Keep on track though no matter how monotonous it gets, and you’ll see the results you’ve always dreamed of.

Just say that I’m gonna miss this contest, and all of you. I wish you all the VERY best with your health, careers, family and physical goals. You’re all people that I’m proud to know.

I have a few admirable persons who deserve to be recognized.

1) The most obvious is my Almighty GOD- I would not have been able to come as far as I have if it were not for my strong spiritual foundation. I look to HIM for strength when I feel like I can’t go any further. When I feel like I want to give up on myself and say forget it, I Pray! Thank you Lord for being my mother, my father, my confidant, my patience, my understanding, and my strength.–Amen

2) To the contestants- You all are a big bowl of laughs. You kept me entertained as well as educated during this comp. And as I’ve stated before, I will continue to look to you for the same. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share this experience with you all. I will never forget you.

3) To my shipmates, who consistently tried to convince me of how hard it is to get fit Underway-You all were and are still a big part of my motivation to get fit and prove you wrong. To prove to you that no matter how many obstacles that are thrown your way, it is possible if you if you really want it. Talking ain’t go get it! You got to be the one to go for it, to sacrifice for it, and to put in the work for it. Cause if it weren’t worth having, it wouldn’t be so Damn hard to get.

4) To my family members-(you know who you are) who actually kept up with the contest and showed a keen interest in the things that I’m interested in, thank you for broadening your horizon and even following in my footsteps of health and fitness. My case may not be as extreme as Nit’s–But thank you for understanding and blessing my goals and aspirations no matter how much of an improbable career it may be. You have been and continue to be my backbone. I am blessed to have you in my life.

5) To all the supporters of this contest- the BB.com community, readers and commentators of our blogs, the Sponsors, and everyone else who shared their support for what were doing here, Thank you! You more than anyone else has made this possible.

6) BB.com- I have commented numerous times on how I appreciate BB.com and all of it’s subsidiary sites for providing such a wonderful place for people who share the same interests, love, passions, and/or calling a playground to grow and learn. The very day I discovered this site, my whole life changed. Thank you! I can’t say that enough…Thank you!

Damnit!  I’m still transforming. lol. I don’t really want this to end. Once I’m in the groove of doing something it’s hard to stop.

HOW ABOUT…a WHERE ARE THEY NOW? kinda thing in a couple months, to see if we’ve made more progress, made NEGATIVE progress etc. I think that’d be sweet.

wheres that little fella at? Nit nat… where ya at?
