I am the girl who would have never dreamed of having a before and after picture. It is truly a miracle. I use to dream of being an inspiration to others. I always had a passion for nutrition and the gym but could never control my crazy eating habits. After 8 life-changing months of hard work, dedication, and taking life a day at a time, I am a whole new person. I use to be unhappy, depressed, and miserable. I would want to be fit so bad but would end up eating away my emotions. I looked for a boy to 'save' me from my disastrous life, I tried years of yo-yo dieting, I went to doctors and even to therapists to try to help me but nothing worked. Today I found the support I need and by realizing that God can do for me what I cannot do for myself, I have learned to love myself and how to cope with life.

I am 21 years old. I started at 183 pounds and am now 129. The results come form mainly my diet. I am completely happy with where I am but I am going to start lifting heavier in pursuit of becoming a fitness model and competing in shows.

I hope I can be of inspiration to anyone who needs help. I wake up daily with a smile on my face and it never goes away because I know what it's like to live in hell, or pretty close. Faith is a huge part of my journey and I can say that it was not me who changed the person I was because if it were I would've been fit and healthy many years ago.

Dream. Inspire. Have Faith. Be Confident. Always Help Your Neighbor Out. Listen. Smile.

    A beautiful and inspirational story. I am so very happy for you and you look great. My own success to date is due to God's help also. There is no way I would have gotten this far without it.

    Thank you for sharing. Continue chasing your dreams! :flowerforyou:

    Oh my goodness, it's a total transformation! You look so much younger, and you're totally rocking your new body. Great job in pushing yourself through those 8 months!

    You shouldn't underestimate yourself. We're given free will and it sounds to me like you found the inner strength that was there all along. Don't give God all the credit! Having faith obviously helped you on your journey but it's YOUR hard work and determination that got you to where you are!

    You look absolutely incredible and it's super inspiring to me. I'm a similar shape to what you were originally (though bigger around the boobs and bum) and if I can look even half as amazing as you then I'll be happy!

    Great job, you look great !

    I have lost quite a bit myself but have a lot to go. Every success story with such a great loss is inspirational for me and with the mention of God in your post only made it more so.

    Awesome job! I have just started my journey. I just did a week of Power 90 and just learned about this website today! So, you are an inspiration to me! I always feel down and depressed and I know that it is from my diet. So it is going to change! Thank you for the inspiration!!

    Thank you for your post and giving glory to God for changing you from the inside out. He is my strength too and I appreciate all you said in your post. I've been on this journey since Oct and down 48 pounds and can't believe I have before and after pictures; but I am not ready to post them just yet because I am not where I want to be; but "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

    Keep reaching for your dreams ... you'll do it with God at your side.
