Valerie Fontanez completed a very impressive transformation losing 100lbs and competing in a figure show in 2006.

Before

After

Her own words:
I think I have always been the “chubby” girl. Never in my life have I been in-shape. During high school I was always the “thick/fat” girl. I didn’t really have any friends because I was overweight. The biggest I have ever been in my life thus far is 260 lbs. I believe that I gained most of my weight during my pregnancy with my son J*. I figured that “eating for 2” was acceptable and that I would lose all my pregnancy weight immediately after having my son. Boy was I wrong. After the pregnancy I honestly really didn’t think that there was anything wrong with me. Maybe I was too consumed with my new baby boy. I ate everything in site from huge cinnabons to whole chickens. I was overly obese for about 5-6 years. So what made me change? I no longer felt like a woman. I was not able to wear feminine clothing since I was so big. I wore a lot of men’s clothing usually old vintage clothes from the thrift store. When it finally hit me, I became depressed and I was pressured by my father that I needed to lose weight or else I would lose my husband. I wanted to do something about my weight, but I decided that I wanted to make a change for myself, my son and not for anyone else. Now I am not going to say that my weight loss has been easy because it hasn’t! My journey has been a rocky ride and I am still trying to reach my destination. I won’t give up and nothing is going to stop me from reaching my destination.

Eating clean and weight training has become an everyday lifestyle. I have lost a total of 100 lbs, til this day I still cry once in a while because I can’t believe how far I have come, how much I have achieved. It’s quite amazing when I reflect upon it and I inspire so many women online at my favorite female fitness forum. On a monthly basis, I receive random emails from women that are very overweight or just struggling to get back on track. They praise and thank me for how much “hope” I give them. With my results, they believe that it is possible for them to achieve their goals too. I love to inspire people because I have been in their shoes. I feel that this is my purpose in life. It makes me feel so good in my heart to help people. I want these girls to know that there is “hope”. It’s all a mental game…desire…dev o tion…discipline.

My journey is still not over. I am still in the process of losing body fat and gaining more muscle mass. My short term goal is to get to a body fat percent where a figure/fitness competitor would be during off season which is about 16-17% body fat. I am saving my pennies so that I can get cosmetic surgery which will allow me to compete in figure competitions. I have a lot of excess skin all over my body from being obese for so long. After my surgery and recovery, my ultimate goal is to compete in figure competitions at 11-12% body fat. I “will” compete some day no matter how long it takes me. I “will” reach my destination.
