My name is Martha Byrd. I am 42 years old and a single mom. In 2006 I decided to do a contest after looking in Oxygen Magazine at the figure/fitness competitors. I needed an outlet for my frustrations. I entered the Heart of Texas 20006 and placed eleventh. That competition propelled me to do another. In May of 2007 I entered the Shreveport Cup and placed 1st! I was so excited!
I was honored to meet Jay Matlock who was Mr. Texas and I began training with him. He is wonderful. I workout at Body Tech and I love the People. I am now training for the Nationals!
