I hit 200 lbs and knew it was either up or down from here.. I chose down. Since 2013 its been a roller coaster.. I got down to 159 lbs then back up to 188 lbs. But I haven't failed because I will never give up.

I never knew how strong I could be. I never knew the thrill of lifting, the pain, the gains, the sweat, the work, all for that glorious feeling of I did it. It made me strong, more powerful in body and spirit.
