»NW FITNESS MAGAZINEJERRY SEIDTRANSFORMATIONPeople always say that after a certainage bodybuilding is impossible orat least improbable. I am a perfecttestament to prove them wrong. I wasapproaching my 55th birthday, and decidedit was time to finally get into shape; my bestshape. My son is a bodybuilder, and coachedme on my 6 month journey to prepare for theWA State Bodybuilding Championships. Mytransformation has put me 40 lbs lighter, andfeeling at the top of my game, at 55! It isnever too late to achieve your goals, you justneed to work hard, dream and believe it isall possible!MONICA GILMORETRANSFORMATIONI was done being overweight. 2 years ago Idestroyed my ACL in my left knee, and I knewthe road to recovery was long but attainable.Today, I have overcome, my journey hassent a message to every girl out there thatthey can do whatever they put their mind to.It takes 21 days to create a habit; good orbad! Never give up on yourself!NW FITNESS MAGAZINE PAGE:18 JUL2019INSPIRATIONAL TRANSFORMATIONSKeng Cheah TransformationThe ability to transform oneselfthrough sound training andnutrition has always fascinatedme. This sport is almost entirely asolo practice, where you are in controlof your daily level of effort and yourresults are completely on you. As is thehealing and physical therapy involvedin recovering from a major injury.I was forced back into this process whenI was hit by a drunk driver from behindwhen I was stopped at a stop light.Myleft foot got caught underneath his truckand when he reversed to flee the scene,my entire ankle joint was crushed.The great orthopedic doctors at StJoseph Medical Hospital contemplatedabout amputating my foot, given theseverity of the injury. They decided tosave it and a few surgeries later I wasfitted with a titanium plate and twelvescrews, along with a skin graft surgerytaken from the side of my thigh.given a free daily pass to a local gym inBellevue and I remember sitting on anincline barbell bench for the first timesince the accident. I struggled throughone set and realized that I would needto build up my strength and physiqueonce again. Fast forward 5 years, 2015marked my last surgery and I was freeto train, and set new goals for myself.I decided to enter this year’s NPC WAState Open bodybuilding competition,so I could prove to myself that Icould get up on stage and put to restall of the demons from this journeyto recovery and beyond. I started myfitness journey a little over 3 yearsago, I have always lived a very activelifestyle but I let my body go. 2 yearsago I destroyed my ACL in my leftknee, the MRI made me so sick at thatmoment I made the choice that I wasdone being overweight! As soon as Iwas released from the doctor I starteddown this road. Here I am today. I amhere to prove to myself and every girlout there you can do whatever you putyour mind to. It takes 21 days to createa habit; good or bad! Never give up onyourself!Inspirational TransformationGod healed me. Three years ago, Iweighed 405 pounds. As a singlemother of 5 boys, I was forced to workseveral jobs just to make ends meet. I workedhard to take care of my family, but sacrificedmyself. I was fed up, and decided to makea change. I worked hard and placed 10thin Nationals, both in Miami and Pittsburgh.This kind of transformation required a bit ofcosmetic surgery so I decided to get a tummytuck and a breast augmentation. The EmeraldCup was a surreal experience as I placed 6thand then 2nd and 3rd at the TJ Classic. I hadno trainor, no coach, I lost all the weight byGod’s grace, my beautiful kids and my smallgroup of true friends. 2015 Seven Feathers 3rd, 3rd, 4th 2016 Oregon State Championship OverallChampion, 1st,1st,1st, Fitness AchievementAward 2017 Cascadian classic 1st, 2nd 2017 Northwest Championships2nd,1st 2017 Pittsburgh Championships10th,16th, Miami Champions, 10th place Emerald Cup: 2018 6th, 12th andmost Inspirational Award Pacific Coast 2018: 2nd, 3rd Tanji Johnson Classic: 2018 2nd,8thPAUL SAELEETRANSFORMATIONBelly fat and the contour ofmy love handles kept meunconsciously tugging onmy shirt to hide what I did not wantothers to see. I remember the daywhen my mom tried to convince meto start a weight-loss program withher. That hit me hard and awakenedmy unconsciousness to how bad myweight was. My health was reallyturning into an issue. The day Ichanged, I looked in the mirror andwas disgusted at what stared backat me. I stepped on a scale and ittipped right below 300.Although, I didn’t know where tostart or how to work-out besidesdoing push-ups and bench press.I started running and doing sets ona flat bench. Shortly after, I startedreading magazines and onlinearticles to pick up demonstratedexercises and find resources tobuild lifting routines.I changed my eating habits andtightened up my diet. Being of Asiandescent, it’s hard to tell your parentsthat you don’t want rice or noodles.I gave up most of my favorite foodsand started eating clean. I startedmonitoring what I put in my bodyand ate nutritious food.After the accident, I wasn’t able towalk for almost 6 months. I progressedfrom wheelchair to walker, crutches,and cane, then after a lot of physicaltherapy session was finally able to walkon my own for Mother’s day. I had beena bodybuilder once, but the passionwas ignited once again after attendingthe NPC Emerald cup. The guests wereJON KNIGHT TRANSFORMATIONJon Knight Inspirational AwardAfter years of up and downweight fluctuations, I grew to theweight of 370 pounds. This led toseveral problems such as highblood pressure, sleep apnea, highcholesterol. Bending over to tie myshoes got me winded. Of course,I always loved lifting weights, butnever got my nutrition on point. Oneday in 2014, I decided I had enoughand made a decision to take mybody back. My goal that day wasto change my lifestyle and competeon stage to celebrate my 50thBirthday. I didn’t quite accomplishESTELA RIOSmy goal at 50, but I did at 51 andam not looking back. I don’t believeI am special, I just decided to dowhatever it takes.It was discouraging when I startedworking out. I gave up many timesand told myself I wasn’t going todo it. The first morning I attemptedto run wasn’t pleasant at all. 300pounds pounding on my knees wasexcruciating. I had to pace myselfand work my way up slowly. I startedslowly jogging, then jogging faster,and eventually jog-running.Exercising opens up a new worldof what more you can do and whatmore you can learn about yourself,for yourself, to help yourself, andshape yourself. I overcame eating disorders. I overcame the fear of eatingcertain foods I overcame peer pressure ofusing drugs I overcame my desire to gothrough surgery for perfect skin I overcame losing who I wasand the purpose of the goal I overcame idolizingbodybuilders and bodybuilding I overcame myself bytransforming who I was but notchanging who I wasThese pictures don’t show all ofthe struggles and most peoplewon’t understand that the physicaltransformation was less difficultthan the life transformation. Havingmy heart broken between who I wasand I am, was much harder.Nothing is ever worth so much tochange who you are to have orbecome.I’m so blessed that I can share mylove, passion, and fitness journeywith you. But I’ve been thinking longand hard and after this year, makinga total of 10 years, It might be timeto take a break and end this chapterof my life.Before and afters never show theduring and in-between. The bestadvice I can ever give to youis to keep being the bestperson you are because ofwho you are now and whoyou’re going to become.Because who you becomeisn’t a stranger to who youonce were, who you oncewere is every reason youare a better you now.I remember when I first began in thisfitness journey, I never imaginedtaking it as far as the .I have been overweight my wholelife and lacked self-esteem, selfconfidence, and the feeling offeeling good in my own skin.NW FITNESS MAGAZINE PAGE:19 JUL2019
