Hi, my name is Cynthia. I did the BFL Challenge almost 11 years ago with great results ( started at 177lbs, lost 25 lbs, 10% bf, felt great). After finishing, I took a break..that never ended, got pregnant (on bed rest a lot) and weighed 221 when my daughter was born. Thankfully I got back down to 165 and maintained the 160's for the past 9 years. Recently I hit 171 and knew I was out of control. I started BFL three weeks and two days ago at 168.5. 

My first challenge was all about finishing strong, and looking all ripped like many of the Grand Champions. While I had great results, I didn't look like them, and had no plans established for "after the challenge". I was a perfect candidate to gain it all back because I never overcame why I overate and never fell in love with exercising. My workouts were a battle, never a blessing. Now I am enjoying the challenge. 

So here I am. I'm wiser, older, and have a little girl who is watching me closely. I am grateful that muscle has memory and I'm hoping to end this challenge fitter and fine lol. 

My hubby of almost 15 years is a wonderful support, my daughter is my biggest fan, and my cat seems to think the treadmill is to lay on whenever I need to use it. 

Good luck to all the BFLers. My Chalkenge ends August 28th.  I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself 😃
