#ChallengeJourney #Inspiration Chase Papke Kathy came to me last summer looking for a place to get started. She suffered from a mini stroke in May, was battling depression for 15 years and heavily medicated with anti depressants. She has not taken any meds in 6 months and she owes it to finally concentrating on herself. She jumped on the Challenge and shortly after wanted to take it even further. She has been training for her first figure competition and has had the most unbelievable transformation that has inspired so many. She has been accomplishing all of this while juggling a full time job, and 2 children that she is raising as a single mom 9 months out of the year while her husband serves as a contractor for the Air Force. There are days she wants to throw in the towel, and has fallen off the wagon, but she picks herself up and keeps pluggin! In 8 months she has shed 40 pounds, 22 inches, and 17.5% body fat. Most importantly she loves the woman she sees in the mirror today. I know it was hard for her to post her before and after for the world to see, but that doesnt matter when she knows how many people she can inspire with her story. She is competing May 3rd and will be showing her story on stage. I am blessed to know Kathy, and I am excited to see what else she accomplishes in life to inspire others to take action like she did! — with Kathy Biggers
