When I was in my first year of college, I was 157 lbs, a size 9, and wore a size 36DD bra. Today, I am a senior in college, weighing 124lbs, a size 1, and I have decided to compete in a figure competition in November 2012! Here are some pictures of my long journey. Please ask any questions! I am so proud of myself and I am blessed to be able to share this with people who are struggling with their weight.

    WOW! you are such an inspiration! My senior year of high school I was none weight bearing for 6 months because of my knee surgery. I weighed 154 at 5'4. I am currently 162 5'4 senior in college and am finally committing to losing weight. I have been trying here and there but with no commitment.. Seeing that someone my exact size and shape succeed makes me believe I can do it too!

    I wish you all the best and good luck competing!

    first, epic stomach tat! <3 it!

    second, gimme tips! haha! I started out at 174 (5'4" here!)
    I'm down to 123-8 (that's my range!) and i'm lifing heavy three times a week, eating about 1500 cals a day, doing HIIT 20 mins 3 x's a week (on weight training days), running on my "off" weight training days 3 x's a week (only about 2 miles)....I really want to have a nice figure like yours. I want to see stomach muscles. I think right now I look like you did in Oct 2010 (minus the fantastic cleavage, I might say)....

    please help me beautiful lady!!!!!
