This was taken about three weeks after the birth of my third child. I weighed 130 lbs, my heaviest weight ever. A month later I grew tired of being fat and became determined to start shedding the pounds.

This was one month after I started eating clean. I had already dropped about 10 pounds and felt pretty good. Had not started lifting weights yet at this point. My third kid was only 4 months old so I was just trying to lose the baby fat.

After three months of clean eating I dropped about 15 lbs. Still have some extra around the waist as you can see in this picture.

By this point I had lost all the baby fat I had accumulated from having three kids and was probably the skinniest I had been in ten years.

After clean eating for about 8 months I found myself looking too skinny. So in June 2008 I joined a gym and began weight training. This picture is taken about a month after I started lifting. After just one month I already started looking so much healthier. This picture was taken at my son's first birthday party. It was pirate themed!

My Mom has been into bodybuilding since i was a little girl. I wish I would have followed in her foot steps sooner but at least it's never too late to start! My Mom is now in her fifties and still has a great body.

This is a very recent picture. My body fat got low enough that my boobs disappeared so I got breast implants about five weeks ago. So I've had to take a few weeks off to recover from that.

This picture makes me happy - a candid shot that I'm not posing for and I still look good. That's when I know my work at the gym has paid off!
