I have been overweight since I was 2 years old and never an athletic person. I could not run a mile without stopping, and getting out of breath was something I was very used to. I have tried and failed different fad diets with my family who is all over weight and always wanted a partner but it never lasted, and when they would quit, so would I. At my heaviest I was at 360 lb.but had gotten down to 290 slowly over the years but had been stuck. Last summer I met the man who I credit for all my success, Randy my partner and best friend and boyfriend to boot! He had already lost 80 lbs when I met him and he inspired me and I got the partner in a life that I have always wanted and never looked back. Since last summer with his help and a lot of learning for both of us alone the way I am down 4.5 feet off my body and 125 lbs and have never felt better.

I love fitness because I have worked to have my life back. I have this body that is a tool now instead of a burden and I love finding new things it is capable of every single day. Getting my heart rate up keeps me sane and lifting heavy makes me feel like a boss. I am obsessed with my new ability to sculpt my body and trust me, even after almost 200 lb. gone I am no where near done. I want to inspire others and compete!
