When I Started:
1997
How I Started:
Coming soon - Transformation article featuring me :) at http:www.yoursuperbody.com ....Check it out soon... I've gained and lost 226 POUNDS! There have been other womens profiles up here that have given me the courage to come out with my own transformation. What I have not mentioned is that I have been the biggest weight gainer I know with my pregnancies. My first - I gained 54 lbs. The second I went from 148 and delivered at 220. With my last son, a little over three years ago, I made my Dr quit weighing me a month from delivery -I was at 242 by then. I'll be adding pics so people can really see. So I know how hard it is to lose the weight when you've gotten pretty heavy.
Why I Love It:
Weight lifting has been the only thing that has allowed me to drop all that weight and have an okay shape. Its made me feel strong and powerful. It gives me a place to constantly challenge myself and feel in total control.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by knowing how much better I feel now then when Ive been heavy. Its helped me to look younger then I am - and I think most women love anything that does that for them. Most importantly knowing that I am a role model for my boys keeps me in the gym.
BB Accomplishments:
Losing all my baby wieght and more after three kids. Having the opportunity to train and motivate others.

I was a month from delivering my thrid son..People say "you carry your weight well" Im here to tell you - carrying almost 250 lbs no matter how you hide it is hard on your body.

Goal (Long):
Working out has always been my stress reliever. Lately its been hard to maintain even that with the challenges life has thrown me. I feel like I am more determined then ever to make the gains I want to in the gym and to be the me I was before the Big Move. Ive come to realize that I can't be around people who aren't supportive of me, or who don't love me for me. Coming to this realization has remotivated me!
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
