    translation: The Most Beautiful Woman of the World

    I was always considered an ugly ducking especially when I was a kid & I need something to uplift my self-esteem. Its in Spanish for two reasons, 1. I'm Hispanic & 2. For me to understand & feel it more

    ButterflyJourney. When I hit my goal weight, I wanted something to remind me of how hard I had worked for those 90+ pounds, so I had a tattoo piece done that I call my Butterfly Journey. The weight loss journey. It is three butterflies. The Yellow Swallowtail represents the number of pounds I lost, arriving at the gym at 5am to begin my workout; sweat, hard work and giving up sleeping in; the Monarch represents the support I received from my husband, my daughter and my sister; and the Southern White Admiral represents the support I received from my friends and coaching from my personal trainer. I also set up a Facebook page that is all about health, fitness. It is my way of paying it forward and giving them the support they need so they can complete their own journeys. I am known by this tattoo everywhere I go. Gym members know me because they see me at the gym each morning; and strangers remember me by my tattoo. When people ask me about it, I proudly tell them the story of how it came to be.

    I've gained a few back due to muscle and some weight gain, but am already on the road back to losing it again. I'll be back at goal by end of September.

    Alex_is_Hawks

    well...my middle name is Alexis and part of my last name is Hawk.... AlexisHawk...but I broke it into pieces...

    AND

    both Alex and Hawk were nick names I picked up playing various team sports...

    so in a sense Alex (me) IS Hawk (also me)

    it was a play on words...

    I was a kung fu instructor for 5 years or so, and now compete in Highland games - so I call what I do "Kilt Fu"

    As for the Panda part - about 3 years ago, one of the other competitors nicknamed me "Kung Fu Panda", which was more than just appropriate. The name stuck. I am now announced at the games as "Panda".

    So, I am the Kilt Fu Panda.

    Skidoosh.
