Denise lost 50 pounds (22 kgs) in her first year, which made her want to start weightlifting. She competed in The first physique tournament in November 2022, and she did it with courage. Weightlifting has not only made her more robust, but it has also made her feel very alive again. 

She cares for her two much younger brothers even though she has none. Denise loves animals and wants to start her small farm. Her husband and two dogs live with her, constantly keeping her busy and moving.

Denise models for magazines. She has been in Fit and Firm Magazine and the work of photographer Kai York. She always makes people feel better and tells them to enjoy life to the fullest. 

"You have a choice once you hit midlife," she said. You can let your best years go and let your story slowly build up to an ending you know is coming. You can also choose not to end the book that way. 

Being old doesn't take away from how great she is.

She said, "I thought about a different future and did something about it." And really, it's that simple. You decide that you want more, and every day, you do something to move towards your goals. Take one step at a time. She tells everyone that it's always possible to change a habit or make themselves feel better by getting better. 

Denise wants to compete in a bodybuilding event in 2024 when she will be 53 years old. At the same time, she coaches women in their 40s who are going through similar problems. She wants to encourage others to live their best lives and be the heroes of their own stories.
