When I Started:
Sep, 2002
How I Started:
I have always been the fat girl in school and at the age of 15, I was weighing in at 200lbs! I decided to see what my doctor could do to help me. Prescription drugs became my first tool to assist with my weight loss. I practically stopped eating and lost a lot of weight in very little time. Of course, I was happy that I looked good in High school but I still didn't know how to live a healthy lifestyle. Once I got to college the weight started to creep up again until I was at my biggest of 220lbs. I tried several crash diets and bought the products that were advertised on TV. Needless to say, that failed! I wish I knew then what I know now.
Summer of 2002, I decided I had enough of being fat and I wasn't going to accept myself the way I was. I joined a support group that teaches you about healthy eating and by the fall I had lost my first 20lbs I then decided it was time for me to join a gym and hire a personal trainer. When I first met my personal trainer he asked me a series of questions and one of them was 'what's your goal' I said to him "I want to look hot" he smiled back at me probably thinking 'that's going to be a challenge', but I was determined and motivated to reach that goal.
For the past 5 years I've been watching my body transform and by January 2007, I needed a bigger and more challenging goal than just fitting into a cute bikini. I decided I wanted to compete in my first figure competition (November 2008), hoping to get myself in the best shape of my life. I have started training seriously since June 2007 and can't wait to step on that stage.
Why I Love It:
I have transformed my body dramatically, I have lost 75lbs as of today. I'm hooked now, my next goal is to be able to compete in an figure competition.
How I Stay Motivated:
I love the way I look and feel. Looking forward to be a hot 30yr old.

As a fellow Canadian I just stopped by to say that what you have accomplished is fantastic and you are a great example not only to other women but also men as well. Too many people think it can’t be done and so don't even try but you have proven that with hard work and dedication that you can have the shape of your dreams. Well done. Keep up the great work.
