When I Started:
Jun, 1996
How I Started:
I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to LA in 2005. I was over weight while growing up. Everyone used to tease me and made fun of me. So i started training, trying different diets and different workouts. I said i wanted to compete one day, people made more fun of me. I started competing for the first time in 1999 and won the novice and junior class with my first competetion. I ended up placing 5th at the nationals. I moved up every year from middle weight to light heavy and in 2002 as a heavy weight, each year placing fith at the nationals.
Why I Love It:
I just love working out and being in shape. I love seeing results and improving on my personal best. It helped me with my self esteam and confidence after being over weight while growing up.
How I Stay Motivated:
The best feeling i ever had in life is the moment after working and dieting my heart out and end up winning my first show, I want that feeling again! All the people that said that im waisting my time and that i will never make it, that drives me the most, pushing me harder and harder and making me want it more.

swarthanneschanged Weight from 194 lbs. to 201 lbs., a 7 lb. gain in 62 days
I am back from IFBB SA’s. I got a controversial 3rd place. I don’t want to go in to the whole issue. The decision has been made and nothing can change it. No need for me to rumble on about the issue. I have uploaded photos and the top 3 comparisons under my progress pics. I also uploaded my posing routine under the video clips. I say the truth lies in the pictures. Please check it out and let me know what you think. My competition weight was a rock hard 229.9lbs.
Dinge gaan goed dankie. Besig om te diet. Nog so 6 weke uit van IFBB WP Provincials. Hoe is die kompetisie in die US. Ek wil kyk om volgende jaar 'n paar shows te kom doen. Ek is uitgenooi na 'n paar.
