How I Started:

Goal (Long):
I had a great bulking stage. I made a lot of good gains and at 240lbs I am bigger than I have ever been. I am very proud of my progress so far. I have just about 3 months before I leave Iraq.

She is an inspiration in herself, just as much an inspiration as her husband. Every day she battles two chronic medical conditions, Lupus and Fibromyalgia. Still she manages to workout and stay fit.
