    What a fantastic achievement. You look stunning and I wish you would tell us more details of how you did it :) Nevertheless, it is an enormous inspiration to see that it can be done, and that stomachs can go flat again without lots of sagging skin (hope mine does!). I'm just starting out so this has helped so much. Thank you :)

    Ps. Can anyone tell me what TDEE and IIFYM mean?

    I've seen you and some of your photos around the boards. I had no idea about your story. Absolutely amazing. You look fantastic. Having competed in figure myself, I honestly am in awe that you were able to do it with two children. That is no easy feat in itself.
    Congrats.

    Amazing and fantastic! You are such an inspiration! How did you decide you wanted to do competitions? I have wanted to do a bikini competition for YEARS, but i've never thought I could. I know i'm far from bikini competition shape now, but for the first time in my life I actually feel that I can get there.

    I'm going to friend you, and maybe you can help motivate me!

    I lied, my story really isn't about revenge. But, it started out that way.

    In 2010 my life hit a very low point. I weighed 217 pounds and my husband wanted a divorce. The entire four year marriage had been rough, so divorce was a bit of a relief. The downside of that was having to move across the country and back into my parent's house with two children under the age of two. Being unemployed, a disabled vet, a newly single mom and being fat sucked.

    I decided to get revenge on my ex by losing weight and looking super hot. I failed.

    It wasn't until I just got tired of being fat that I started making the changes that made a difference. Eating well, working out and learning to just love myself. It was no longer about revenge, it was about taking care of me.

    Tomorrow marks a significant point in my life. It marks three years of being single and my first bodybuilding competition. In total I've lost 70 pounds. As a single parent with a full time job and my own little house to take care of I have found a way to get a degree and get in shape all at the same time. I have tons of legitimate excuses to why I can't or don't have the time to eat right and workout. If you want it bad enough you WILL find a way!

    **ETA: Workouts, I just lift heavy and do little cardio. Eating is TDEE-20% and IIFYM (with macros set correctly for my goals).

    OMG, I cannot believe my eyes!!! It's hard to believe those pics are of the same person! You look soooooo great!

    How sore were you in the beginning? I am about the same size you started at and so far strength training leaves me unable to move the next day! You really are inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
