I entered a 12 Week Challenge in Feb. 2011. I lost 20 pounds and 30 inches! But I would do good for 2 months then get sick for a month. I would start back for a month or two, then get sick for a month! I had surgery to remove my gallbladder in Nov., 2011 and felt 100% better! In 2013 I was been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia & Addison's Disease. That pain has kept me out of the gym on many a day & weeks. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis & arthritis. But, I refuse to give up! I may have to slow down some, but I am NOT going to give up!

I love the way I feel when I lift and the sexy muscles I'm getting! I feel energized and alive when I workout!
