“No matter what your body type, fitness is something anyone can achieve.”
After struggling with anorexia nervosa throughout her teens and early 20s, Melissa Jesmer found the way of the weights three years ago. “I became inspired to compete when my weight had reached an all time low. I was doing an hour and a half of cardio day. I faithfully followed the no-carb diet. Before I knew it, my body had been stripped away and virtually no muscle mass remained. I gained respect for the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming a pro figure competitor such as Monica Brant and Debbie Leung.” Melissa enlisted the help of a trainer at her gym and started working toward more tangible and healthier goals. “Instead of a never-ending battle to become thinner and thinner, I now work toward positive, healthy results.”
