Harder to get up in the morning and lift and not as motivated to eat what I should. I hate these ruts. One of you cool cats give me some motivation please. I need it!! I love to lift and see my progress, but for some reason, in cyles, it seems I rebel against myself, you know.

Trust me, that pic will motivate anyone to get off their butt and lift! I was sick of being skinny and tired all the time. Since then, I packed on a few more pounds, made some very noticable muscle gains, and have a more positive outlook on everything now than I did before. You'll get over it; just keep your head up and stive for you're goals. ---JBennett

How much did you weigh and how about right now? Or is all that in your profile? Thanks again for understanding. Merlin

Set it up in a place I will see each morning (Like the bathroom mirror) and after a year now I have become a small version of the picture. I would have never kept going to the gym on a regular basis nor eaten' so well had it not been for the picture of my dreams.
