9 months ago, I was the girl on the left. I had woken up from brain surgery and something was wrong. The next morning I was paralyzed. On the right? That’s me today as I prove them all wrong. Here I am crushing the odds, lifting all the weights, and kissing my kids goodnight. I’m proud of who I am!

F/33/5’4” [221>177=44 lbs] Almost exactly a year to the day and I can’t stop singing about how my quads are POPPIN like my lip gloss y’all! I’ve put back on about 10 pounds since I started, but I’ve lost 3 pants sizes. Finally able to stop being scared of the scale!

F/32/5’4” [200>178=22 lbs] I had brain surgery in February and woke up paralyzed after being a power lifter for 4 years. Finally got back in the gym a month ago and I can’t wait to keep proving doctors wrong! Muscle memory is a beautiful thing!

F/33/5’4” [225>184=41lbs] I’ve been able to put back on some weight with bulking and I’m feeling positive about the growth I’m seeing, mentally and physically. One year and 4 months from that girl on the left to now. Hair, body, and life got better this year for me!

I’m so thankful our normally “hands off kiddo” has found a best friend in our pup. I think this is the most calm and at ease I’ve seen him in months.
