Paula Mclaughlin - Body idols Transformations category

Hi my name's Paula I'm a single mum to one boy & i work in pharmacy. I have always attended the gym & been active until i was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness which includes fatigue & wide spread pain. During the first few years i piled on the weight mostly due to the mountain of meditation i was on & the fact i couldn't work out. I spent years trying to manage it & have a normal life. I would like people with fibro to see you can achieve greatness & it's not a death sentence. My 40th is fast approaching & i want to celebrate it in style. My first goal is to complete tough mudder then i would love to compete in the bikini competition industry. I have so much determination & a hell of a lot to learn but I'm excited for the next journey of being fit before 40!
