I was tired of not being able to do things I enjoyed and not being able to try new things I wanted to do that had weight limits (skydiving and zip-lining). I knew I had to change my life. I also wanted to have a baby eventually and did not want to be over 300lbs. pregnant.

It's a stress reliever and makes me happy. It's a passion of mine and part of who I am now. I love seeing new defination and gaining strength.
