Why I Got Started

I was always chubby in high school and when I got out I just let it go to the extreme! The scale was going up day by day! One day I reached a whopping 215 pounds and I knew that I had to do something.

A friend saw me in the mall and came up to me and said "Megan, you got so big!" My heart dropped and I knew I had to do something about it!

How I Did It

I joined a local gym and started to workout a little. While working out I always saw beautiful women who were figure competitors. I loved the way they looked and the way they carried themselves.

I thought "This is something I would love to do with my life!" Without even doubting myself and keeping my head up high I made my long-term goal to lose the weight and compete in 2010!

Well after a little research and 11 months of going to the gym twice per day six days per week, weight training, 5 mile runs 4 days per week, spin class and a dramatic diet change, I lost 85 pounds.

I went from 215 pounds to 130 pounds and I am not even done yet, I have just 5 pounds to go and only 4% more body fat to lose!
