“Weight training transformed my body. I’ve been recycling 30-40 lbs for most of my life by yo-yo dieting and exercising.” 
“Until recently, I have had size 14 clothes in my closet. Now I am a size 2-4. I never found something I could live with until now. I never made myself a priority on my to-do list until now. It’s been a year that I lost 45 lbs and maintaining this weight and I attribute my success to weight training and good nutrition. I lift as heavy as I can, so much that my third set has me barely being able to so 5-6 reps.
That is what I changed. I used to use pink and purple weights thinking high reps, low weight was the answer.
WRONG! And I still do cardio after I lift but I don’t do more than 30-45 minutes where before I would try for a minimum of an hour.”

Rose Flower says: “Just wanted to share my transformation.” 
40 is the new 20!
I started my journey in May 2013! So I’m going on 3 years this May! Hard work does pay off!”
I started my in May 2013 because of my health my doctor told me in a nice way that I was obese she put it yo me gently.
First thing I did was run and just started eating healthy.
I hear a lot of clean eating and I research it and started clean eating!
About 6-7 months into my journey I found out that I needed to have my gallbladder removed because I had high cholesterol so I took a few months off. Just last year of January I started to lift weights and I just fell in love with it!

What Is the Most Important Bodybuilding Tip?
My best fitness tip is portion control. My epiphany was to reduce my portions and it truly made a difference in my fitness goal. Incorporate weight training into your fitness routine. This allowed me to shed weight quickly and build muscle.
