Continued inspiration

Muscle & Fitness/Hers, Sept-Oct, 2003 by September Luketz

It has been more than a year since I was blessed as one of the 10 cover-girl finalists pictured in your April/May 2002 edition, but I feel it's never too late to inform you of what an impact that opportunity has made in my life. I was the small-town girl in Washington state with the big dreams and ambitions, recovering from two life-changing automobile accidents. My pursuit of becoming a fitness model began with your cover-model contest; my motivation to never give up, to work and train hard, and to once again believe that dreams come true has returned because of you!

I went on to compete in the Miss Hawaiian Tropics contest and succeeded in becoming a regional representative for the company during the summer of 2002. Since then, I've achieved my goal of adding 10 pounds of lean muscle mass, while shedding five pounds of bodyfat. I compete in my first figure competition this August! Your magazine inspires young women by portraying the beneficial role of health and physical fitness, and it has inspired me to continue my endeavor to be my personal best. Thank you, once again, for being a positive influence on those seeking healthy and obtainable objectives.
