I have a taste for fruit and peanut butter. I live in Huntington WV. I'm open to
trying any of the shakes you choose as long as I can purchase the ingredients
in my area.

- My BodyPROUD Story
- Why I got started: For years my friends and family had tried to get me to “be more active”. Well, shortly after a divorce I moved to Las Vegas. It was then that I literally woke up one morning and didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. I was a short, fat young guy with a serious case of acid reflux. I couldn’t stand the way I felt or looked. So, I decided to change it! WE have all heard the phrase,”Never trust a skinny chef.” The truth is if the reflection in the mirror didn’t change there was not going to be a chef to trust.
When/ How long
I started off slow, just changing my eating habits and doing some floor exercises. The first thing I changed was no soda. Then went the potatoes, breads, desserts, etc. I purchased a copy of the “Abs Diet” (David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker, Rodale Inc.) and followed the program very strictly- Eating the right foods every 2-3 hours. Then, a friend literally dragged me to the gym one day, and I have been hooked ever since. I originally had a goal of fifty pounds. At which time I would buy myself a suit as a “reward”. Well fifty pounds came and went and I decided to keep going. The further I went in the process the more interested I got. From January 2005 to July 2006 I lost a total of 92 pounds and had gone from a body fat % of over 35 to a 9. Now I was really hooked! I felt great and wanted more. That’s when I decided to try bodybuilding.
How’d I do it?
After joining the gym I met with Master trainer Carlos Nunez (Get Lean Las Vegas). Each week we worked on a new workout plan and meal plans- Paying very close attention to my body’s changes and making adjustments as necessary. After the weight loss, amazing changes happened: no more acid reflex, lower blood pressure, better skin and the list goes on.
After consulting with Carlos, we decided to try and turn me into a bodybuilder. I was advised to do 1 show. But, I later found I wanted more. For the next five months I went on a bulking plan, bringing me to 155 pounds with a 12.5% body fat percent. In January we started the cutting phase, to get ready for the Iron Gladiator/Inland Empire Natural (INBA sanctioned) bodybuilding contest held in Corona, CA March 31, 2007. Continuing our program of changing exercises weekly and following the meal plans provided, on competition day I was 130 pounds with a 5.9% body fat. I’m proud to say that I finished 3rd in the short class at my very first bodybuilding competition. The following week I finished in the top five as “best poser” at the Mr. Grand Traverse held in Traverse City, MI. And, Most recently secured a spot on Team USA- which qualified me to compete at the Natural Universe held in Los Angeles, CA and The 10th Natural Olympia (www.naturalolympia2007.com) held in Thessaloniki, Greece- Through the INBA, ABA, PNBA. I have competed in six contests in my first year of bodybuilding and placed in the top five-in five of them.

- Everything takes time! To do thing's the right way, one must me patient. The "plan" involves doing whatever it takes to achieve these goal's in a hard-working and dedicated method.
- Life Advice that Helped Me:
- STAY NATURAL!
You are what you eat. Achieving your goals starts with what you feed yourself. With proper diet and nutrition your goals can and will be met. Always remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Although it seems that the fat has been added overnight. It simply was not. It seems like an eternity for the fat to come off, be patient. Your rewards will be far greater in time.
Start with your diet first. After a week or two, add the gym. Without the proper nutrition, you won’t see the results you are striving for. Consult a trainer. In no time at all you’ll be feeling and looking better. Have fun on improving you. Make you the priority. Don’t just think about it, do it!

"Pose" itioning the mind

The mind is a beautiful thing! It makes you aware of how you feel. It gives you the strength you need in everyday activities. Without the mind many of our daily functions and activities would be impossible. It’s time to reconnect with our minds! The benefits will be very rewarding.

Tasty Transformations
By Phillip L. Dell
A couple of years ago I was at a crossroads, I believe a lot of us face similar situations every day. We have this belief that we are inadequate in our appearance and that we must change it by going on a “diet”. The truth is, every second of our lives we are on a diet. It’s whether or not we are on a “fad” diet or on a diet in which we will succeed for the rest of our lives that determines whether or not it is a successful one. A “diet”… Continue

- Thanks so much for your help. That is so true about being prepared. I did that one day last week (sad to say it took me this long). It was such a relief to have a salad loaded with good stuff already prepared. I made dinner for my family and didn't have to think about what I was going to eat. I'm following this rule from here on out! I make myself different soups and chili so I have that to fall back on. I gotta make a run to the store for some salad stuff. I don't have any eating events coming up for a while (birthday's, etc) so now I can reprogram my tastebuds. Thanks for the help and I'll keep you posted!

- Hi Phillip! Thanks for the encouragement. My biggest struggle is eating healthy. I have a family to care for and I'm the only one in the house that wants to eat healthy. It's really hard to keep on track. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
thx
