    I want to have a more active lifestyle, help my asthma and skin be better, and just overall have energy! Carrying around these extra pounds is exhausting!

    I started mfp a year ago and have lost 45lbs and reduced my body fat to around 18-19%. I'm giving a slow bulk a shot now while following Strong Curves. My goal is to add a bit of overall mass/definition.

    I'm not training at all right now, I'm rehabbing a hip injury that stubbornly refuses to get better. I've got a long vacation coming up soon. Maybe in 5 weeks when I'm back home, I'll have had enough rest and recovery to get back on a lifting program.

    Generally, the goals are to maintain my weight and live a healthy lifestyle. If I gain more definition and get stronger in the process, that's a bonus.

    What are you training for?
    To become the best version of myself. What that means to me is to work towards a body with enough strength and control to be able to carry out various of movements. I also aim to get used to be outside my comfort zone more frequently, to work towards the confidence and charisma I lack today.

    What are your goals?
    In the beginning of my journey, I created a vision where I want to be and how much I'd be able to accomplish. Today I have fixed goals in form of various calisthenics movements or certain weights to hit in the gym.

    What is your motivation?
    To some extent my motivation is the vision I created. However, at this point of my training I start seeing progress (thanks to logging sets, reps and calories). My small frequent achievements today is my most valuable motivation; seeing that I am able to move forward, on my own. Without having to feel dependent on someone or something.

    I turned my motivation into a lifestyle.

    I'm training to be a good example of my kids. They are only 3 and 1 right now, but that will change before I know it. I need/want to be able to keep up with them. I'm also doing it for myself. I'm tired of feeling like someone twice my age when I get up in the mornings, or even from my chair at work. I'm also tired of being disgusted with what I see in the mirror every morning. I had previously lost 80lbs prior to having kids, and now I weigh about 10 pounds less than when I started before. I did it once, I can do it again. I hope.
