I was an obese teenager, learned about working out and eating right and lost over 50 lbs. I have always had a love of working out but I yo-yo'ed with my weight, health, and body over the past 20 years especially after having 3 kids. My husband started bodybuilding last year and that inspired me, along with seeing some of the other girls competing in figure. I thought....hey I can do that!

I love bodybuiding because you can reshape your body. It feels good and relieves stress - I can get rid of all my frustration and have a killer body to show for it. I want to look good in and out of my clothes :0. I love competition and need to see the fruits of my labor.
