Were you athletic as a child? NOT AT ALL...I was the fat kid!!!  I did dance and gymnastics but not enough to keep the weight off from cookies.  :)

Have you gotten family support for your athletic endeavors as a child and today? How has that support or lack thereof impacted you?  My family is mostly supportive however the long hours at the gym cause a lot of people, including the family, to wonder what motivates me.  I'm driven even more by the people that constantly question me...they've seen my transformation and still ask "when are you going to eat normal again" or "who is this person...you're not the same person you were growing up"...you know what?  I'm glad that I'm not the same person and chicken and broccoli are normal.

When did you begin competing? October 2008

What is your competitive record?
Oct 08 - NPC Natural Northern  Open Figure 9th place

Apr 09 - ABA Natural Olympia Open Figure  4th place

Oct 09 - Fitness America  Open Bikini  5th place

What are your competitive goals? I want to place top 3 in my next competition...learned that I need to stick with figure.  Also want to get down to 10% bodyfat...hit 12% at last show but need to lean down my legs.  Considering that I used to be 200lbs and size 16...40% bodyfat...I'm pretty pleased with my accomplishments so far.

What motivates you to compete?  Fear of going back to being the fat girl.  My goal is to inspire other people to eat right and that it is possible to change your appearance!! 

Most memorable experience in the sport to date?  Making the poster for the Natural Olympia for the upcoming April competition...thank you John Hansen!!

Special recognition or thanks to anyone?  I have to thank all my trainers for their various input over the years....Blair Mone, Jenny Lynn, John Clark and Aaron and Cody.  My family, friends and co-workers that witness the tranformation and still stay supportive despite the fact that they think I'm crazy!!

Available for modeling?  Absolutely!!!

Contact information; website?  I'm on facebook, linkedin, my space, bodybuilding.com, muscle-book.com.  No website yet but working on it. 

Anything else you would care to add?  I believe it is possible to have the body you want (or close to it) depite what you are born with...I love to inspire / encourage others to go after their goals!!!
