2009, I was at my very leanest. I was in mma and weighed around 115lbs. After getting married, I ended up gaining 65lbs in less that 6 months. On top of the weight I'd already gained, my husband and I also decided to start a family.
On Feb. 8th, I had my daughter via C section, which really limited my ability to use my abdominal area.
But I was tired of not being the woman that my husband married, and decided to buckle down.
I have lost 56lbs total since February 2012, and I hope to soon compete in figure and eventually women's physique.

I guess I love what any person would love about working out. When I was in mma, I was skinny. My stomach was flat. I do not wish to be simply "flat", but instead, I want to have definition that would make even the guys at the gym jealous. Most woman aim to be skinny, but I don't feel that "skinny" is sexy or healthy. I was once very skinny, and it was because I ate once a day. Sure, I was "lean". But my hair was also falling out, my face was always greasy, and I never had energy. I want to be able to prove to the world and myself that after a complicated C section, I can completely recovered my broken down abs and turn them into machines and inspire other mothers to do the same. Being a mother is my reason- Not my excuse.
