Why did you decided to transform?

I noticed that I couldn’t do things that other people did with ease like play games with friends. I also noticed at school I would be out of breath from going from the first floor to the second or up to my room. I would always think that I was just a big girl and strong and because I was tall I just looked a lot different than other girls. One day at the mall I was trying on dresses for prom and I found that only one fit me in the whole department store, I thought I was a size twelve, but the twelves didn’t fit me. I went home and decided I was going to weigh myself for the first time since I could remember, when I looked at the scale I fell to the floor because I weighed as much as my 6’4’’ father. I decided then and there I didn’t want to live like this anymore and I wanted to change my life.

What’s your most favorite exercise?

I love doing leg presses and squats because I can feel how strong I’m getting each time

What does your diet consist of?

My general rules of thumb: No premade frozen food, no “junk” food, eat when hungry, put as many colors on my plate as possible (usually spinach, love), no soda, don’t cut out carbs because you still need them, lean protein (chicken and turkey), one cheat “treat” or meal a week, there’s no such thing as a cheat day.

This is a bad picture and unflatteirng, but this is my sister and I after we finished the half marathon and I was so proud to have reached my goal of under 3 hours. To most that may seem like a poor time, but for a person like me who never finished the mile run in school growing up and hates running, I couldn't have been more proud of myself.

Any advice or tips for aspiring transformers?

Results take time; if people don’t notice you’re body changes immediately don’t get frustrated. If you fall off track, don’t be disappointed in yourself, get back to it. None of our journeys look the same
