Q. What inspired you to lose weight?
I come from a big family and all my life I was always interested in the human body, so after growing up big and being called names I wanted to change my life but didn’t know exactly how to do it, it wasn’t
till the birth of my son I decided I wanted to be a positive role model for him so I chose to lose weight.
Q. Since losing weight have you been able to keep it off if so how
Since doing the transformation I have continued to work-out and eat right by staying away from junk foods 99% of the time I also now cook and prepare my own meals for the week which keeps me on track.
Q. What was your process to your weight loss.. ie a trainer, diet plan, etc
The process of losing weight starts with you first. In order to make changes in your life you have to have the right mind set to start a transformation such as this because this becomes a lifestyle change. Yes you will lose friends but you also gain a lot of new ones that are into being healthy and possibly may even become an inspiration to others. I wanted this to be stress free so I did find a trainer that I could work with and have him help me achieve the goals that I had set out to do. I also knew it would cost money so I wanted to make sure I got my monies worth so I found a personal trainer who also gives me weekly meal plans. I still continue with my trainer and training regiment which consist of the following: During the week it’s cardio in the am, then workout and more cardio throughout the week and on the weekends I do just cardio morning and night.
Q. Since your body has transformed what if any is your next step.
My next step is to step on stage and compete in a bodybuilding show.
