Ms. Roberts,
Firstly, please allow me to commend you on the plethora of accolades and lifetime of admirable achievements I've just read about via your page. I particularly cared for the quotation 
concerning gratitude and living by one's words, instead of merely uttering them. This reminded me of something someone once told me, that knowledge is in the knowing, but wisdom 
is in the doing.

 . . , I only assume that you live what you know and you try to project yourself in a light that is positive, but also true to yourself, as well as your upbringing. . . . 
-With all due respect,

Hi Miss Roberts!

My name is Anna, I'm 18 and and I'm a new (but ardent!) fan of yours. Your National and State benchpress records are astounding and I'm very encouraged by God's strength evident in your life as you strive to make an impact in this world by being a drugefree athlete. I too believe that many things can be accomplished drug free with dedication and hard work. As a Christian girl in the sports world, its uplifting to hear of accomplished athletes who depend soley upon the bodies God gave them for performance. Congratulations on all that God has done in your life and may His face continue to shine upon you.

Good morning my friend,

Kathy,

Congratulations on all your success!

I work a lot as a composer here in New York. I spend hours at my desk writing and also teach composition at NYU. Working out with weights is the perfect complement. It creates balance in my life and helps me to understand what I'm capable of accomplishing.

You, obviously, have had the same results on a far greater scale.

Very cool,

Be well,

I visited your homepage to check them out, stayed long time. Many many nice pics do you all took them? I found out your beauty Mama too! I read over the message which I got from you again & again. Thanks Kathy. Thank you for a lot of courage. I can't tell you how I feel it in my english. You are the greatest woman. . . You say, if I don't stand for something, I'll fall for anything, Something for what is right?. I get up stand up for my fans, my good people who support to my music for equal rights & justice & joy. So I'm o.k. that I start it again from beginning because I believe myself. . .

Thanks so much for reading, always so much love to Kathy from far east in west side of Tokyo Japan. Blessing one heart Jah bless,

Thanks so much for. . . I'd be honored to. I love what you're up to in giving people the gift of strength. My work is similar in the sense that I inspire people to recognize their inner strength and harness their power for use in all aspects of their life.

. . . I would love to explore the possibilities between us.

Dear Kathy Roberts,

Thank you for contacting me. I loved and was so impressed with all your major accomplishments in work that you do. I would like to network with you as I feel we would be very supportive for eachother. Is there a phone number to contact you and a state that you work out of. I reviewed your site and I see you do all major appearances, but I wonder where you are located.

. . .

Llynn

Hi, Kathy!

This was fun -. . . , your email popped in. Oh wow - you are a weightlifter? You are the first weightlifter I have met! (well, "met") I like the sound of the "lifetime drugfree..." And you do very valuable work in educating the young to avoid alcohol and narcotics. Here in Finland where I live it is heartbreaking to see how younger and younger children (yes, really children) use alcohol. . .

So yes: I am honored to have you in my expert network because of your dedication to fight this matter.
. . .

Best of success to you and your valuable work!!

Leena :)

Kathy,

Wow, you are a woman of strength. Guess what? The quote you have is in my book. Looks like a heaven connection to me.

Hi Kathy,

Proud to meet ya! I'm amazed that you're a promo person AND a weight lifter, a Champion no less! What I mean is that in my LONG experience, promo people (like politcians) have to play in the dirt so much that it invariably gets ALL over them and in their souls! Adult athletes on the other hand, physically WORK their butts off. And those that have a work ethic have character. Maybe not perfect, but definitely character. What are ya, a new kind of person? Again-Very nice to meet you,

Hey Kathy

I’m really glad that you invited me. I turn down most link requests because I have an aversion to shallowness :-) I loved your site, and I especially loved the pics of you playing tennis. I can see the competitive spirit, not just shining through – more like an atomic bomb :-) I have the same competitive spirit, just not the ability :-)

I was also excited to see your work with kids, turning them onto enjoying the physicality and strength of their own bodies. . . 
 So to see you right in there and demonstrating the message – that’s just great.

I hope we can keep in touch and if there’s anything specific that you think I can do to support your work, just let me know.

Best wishes

Hi Kathy,

I checked out your expert page. WOW! you have accomplished some amazing things. I work out at a bodybuilder's gym, and although I'm not a bodybuilder, have an idea of the drive it takes to compete by watching the guys get ready for competition. I just workout because I like to eat!

Best of luck!

Hi Kathy,

It as though I can exhale today and that a long awaited shift has finally begun. Yesterday was an amazing experience on so many levels and we are blessed beyond belief to have such an incredible leader with our new President.

There is much work to be done but I, like many others, have hope for the first time in a very long time that we will reclaim the Truth and the Goodness our country is capable of being... and reach heights never seen before in this modern world. Of course, there will be challenges, but if we all do our part success is certain. I for one an willing to do what is needed to make my world and this world a more peaceful, loving, joyous, safe and abundant experience for us all.

Wishing you and yours many blessings and much goodness.

Congratulations for being the strongest !! The world needs more strong WOMEN !!

Thank you for being a friend. I am an advocate to get native music recognized in mainstream music. One of my fights is to see more native music represented in the Grammy's. We have such wonderful talented musicians that follow all types of music, but it is the CONTEMPORARY traditional music that needs to be recognized more. . . .

Blessings, fl

Dear Kathy

You are amazing ... A very good friend of mine is a body builder with the East Coast "Drug Free" Body Builders Association ... I met a couple of world famous body builders ... this was about 15 years ago ... I wish I could work out as I did when I was younger but my diabetes gives me limitations (neuropathy in my feet) I was also a competitive ballroom dancer so it is a bit frustrating ...

In the meantime, I welcome the opportunity to network with you. . .

Brad M.

Kathy,

. . . I find some very agreeable stuff on your page simple stuff really, such as "You have to change your mind before you change your condition". Absolutely right there, and if you want to change the world around you, there too, you gotta look closer to home, cos that is definitely where it all begins.

Now, if stuff like this can be applied to the condition our world is in right now, and I see no reason to conclude it can't, then, who knows, something monumental could happen. It has happened before. It takes people who are up to accepting challenges to accomplish that which others might say is impossible. The clinically cynical will always tell you that it can't be done and there are definitely many of those around. They will often scratch their heads, with a puzzled look on their faces, when you respond by saying "how do you know if you haven't tried?"

I have a feeling, though, that you already know this stuff.

So, take care and all the best in this, the new year

Also I'd love to do a reciprocal link with you, . . . You can also promote any works of your own within the listings that come along with your membership. But I would like to place your
banner add at the top of whatever state you would like me to place it in I could even run it so that you can be on a different state each month. Let me know.

Hey Kathy,

Your an inspiration (lifting, throwing and playing with those things I'd like to)!!

What to say... I believe that every girl should have her own toolkit and especially know how to use an electric drill (both me and my personal assistant do).

Spiritual independence is a great thing!

Best Regards

Thank you for responding. My name is Shauna. Sorry for not leaving it before. I started weight training last month and am enjoying it more than I imagined I would. I've needed to get into shape for a while and am finally doing it. This is a terrific way to improve my health. Thanks again for being a godly inspiration. Also thanks for promoting drug free athletics. More people need to hear that they can succeed naturally and with God's grace. Have a blessed day and much continued success.

I visited Kathy's website and enjoyed it. Its fantastic to see women powerlifters that are drug free and living for the Lord!

Thanks for being such a positive influence.

Hi Kathy,

I have sent you a friends request. I just love people of action. I am interested in the power of creativity and body, mind, spirit work. I am looking to share ideas and experiences in self discovery and self healing. I changed my life in middle age when I learnt to stilt walk and then went on to become a circus skills teacher. Through the body we can make positive changes in the mind.

Have a great day.

I saw your video are strength training, were your doing dead-lifts for a large audience. I was most impressed. I don't think I would like to get on your wrong-side that's for sure, Kathy!!

Daniele

WHEW!! you got GREAT LEGS!

Those are gorgeous!

Those reps are Zen perfection!

A lot of people don't know what 'clean' looks like.

You are going to age beautifully!

I hope that you keep demoing and lifting right into your 90's.

You can shape MANY young minds! ( ...and bodies! ) 

How much do you charge for a speaking engagement?

Great photos on your site, by the way. I have a sense that you’re a strong woman in more ways than physical-strength.

. . . I can't tolerate the thought of doing somebody wrong. I like my conscience to remain as pristine as possible. ;-) Comes from a life in which too many wrong decisions were freely made and I paid the price for that in the end. Ancient history now and I help others similar to me make that same about-face.

I watched you doing deads. Very nice! You're incredibly strong!  . . .

Hi Kathy!

PACE! (Italian for peace be with you!!)

God has placed within you Kathy a beautiful gift and love for the unloveable (the people who many Christians are supposed to be going after in agape, unconditional love and compassion); the down-trodden; the victimized; the abused; the low self-esteemed; the broken-hearted, the confused; the lonely; the prisoner..............and this is what you are doing through your blessed ministry. I think it's absolutely awesome my precious sister and no wonder there is a fantastic rapport amongst you and the audience (especially in prisons and correctional institutions, because you are showing them the real Gospel 'up-front' and not hiding behind'closed doors'!!

Kathy Roberts you are a beautiful Esther and an Aaron.

(EXODUS 28:29) reads: "In this way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes of Israel on the chestpiece over his heart when he goes into the presence of the LORD in the Holy Place".

Kathy, my beloved friend in Christ, compassion and spiritual direction are at the heart of spiritual leadership. The high priest always wore the name of the the tribes of Israel on his chest as a symbol of carrying people in his heart in prayer and Godly concerm. Need I say no more, because that's what God has bestowed and provided you with Kathy; you have the very hearts of people firmly on your chest, AMEN!

God has uniquely provided spiritual instruction, pastoral leadership and care for his people within you Kathy.  . . .

Kathy, you have a blessed and winning ministry that God is going to use more and more in these last days amongst all the above people mentioned because you have a shepherd's heart for the 'lost souls'of this world!!

God bless you my beloved sister and special friend.

Love always in Christ,

D. M.

Thank you for your kind invitation, how can I help you succeed? I ask that question as I am not about to disagree with a woman your size! Kidding aside, you are a great example and an inspiration of what can be accomplished in the screwy world.

HI, Kathy,

I truly admire dedication and determination. It is a sign of strength and character.

And yes, nothing good ever comes easy. Sad that our youth expects things to be handed to them. There is such a sense of accomplishment when one has to work long and hard to acheive a goal.

I am a former state and national race walking champion. In 1994 and 95 I was one of the top female race walkers in my division (age) in the country. To date, I have been powerwalking every day (never missed one) for 26 1/2 years and have logged over 85,000 miles (even with broken bones and after surgery). I don't know if there is a record for this sort of thing but on a personal level I am very proud of my accomplishment. So on many levels, I can relate to your dedication.

. . . If you have a moment, I'd love for you to check out both of my sites as well.

Thanks!

wow! That is VERY impressive! You truly deserve a lot of credit. I know how much training that takes. NICE job!

Peace and joy,

Janet P., Pres,, CEO

My, my, I had a surprise in the email inbox this morning. An invitation from you to join your "circle"... I read all your materials and am truly amazed at what you DO.

If you read all my "stuff"---you must know that I LOVE DO-ers of the good n' positive. It is a wonderful, truly transcendent thing to be a DO-er. And a DO-er loves the process and the journey...and then when there is a milestone along the way, DO-ers celebrate, yes, but sometimes it's a quiet, humble, grateful shedding of tears. Does that sound familiar??

I'll put you on my list of folks to receive motivational, informational emails. Please write me, let's share and keep in touch.

If there's one thing I've learned in life... it's to never question Jeanna's 'hits'! ;-)

I took some time to look at your website and I have to say how very impressed I am with you and your accomplishments. You're doing some powerful work... especially with its' focus on womens' sports. I'm sure you've seen first hand the empowerment sports and training can make on a persons' life!

I'd say keep up the good work... but something tells me it doesn't feel like work to you, does it? When you follow your heart... big and wonderful things happen. So keep following your passions Kathy... you're doing great.

I would be happy to feature you and your story on my W. o. S. page . . . My site averages 85,000 hits a month, so hopefully this will bring you some nice additional exposure.

Take a look at the page and if it appeals to you, please email your story to me (we can use what you have up on the site, if you like, or you can write something new) and also a jpeg image of yourself. Then we will upload all to the W. o. S. page and link it all back to your website. This W. o. S. page is for women who may or may not have overcome eating disorders, in case that concerns you.

Take care. Thanks for making the world a better place!

Dear Kathy,

Like your mindset

How about that for the title of your next book? . . . Loved this quote, is it yours? "During times of universal deceit that telling the truth is an act of revolution". I feel like I have been swimming up steam in this world my whole life. Sadly people are not taught the value of maintaining their own personal integrity or developing there own natural gifts well improving those things that don't come easy. These should be the enjoyable challenges in life not a sign of failure. Spiritually speaking it is a wicked thing to compare ourselves to others. We can be inspired by one another. I respect your efforts personally and for the common good. Beautiful display of multiple strengths.

I would welcome any correspondence.

Regards,
Heather F.

Hi again Kathy

You're welcome too!

I don't think it's about being a 'hard worker' but for me I see your focus, determination, intention and enthusiasm for what it is that you have accomplished-
an expression of your passion.  It's interesting how we thrive on acknowledgement from like-minded people and how that seems to fortify us.

What factors do you contribute to your willingness to push yourself as hard as must do to achieve your goals? What roles would you say self-confidence and self-esteem play?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sherry

Hi Kathy,
 

Thanks for the request and welcome! Could you likewise add me to your list?


Keep up the phenomenal work...accolades to you!
 

Best in health & happiness,


Dave R.

Thanks for your invitation Kathy, very pleased to be connected with you. I can see from your website that you've made a positive impact on many people.

As a 25+ year tennis player and 20+ year weight trainer, I know what pleasure and satisfaction can be derived from both activities and I couldn't

live without either of them.

I wish you continued success in all your adventures and look forward to our

future contact
 

Cheers,

Brian

Dear Kathy,

Thank you for your invitation to be added to your list of recommended . . . experts and friends. I was impressed by your bio and as a mother of five athletes (one a tennis player at University of Texas SA) I admire your presentation and your courage to speak out. I am delighted to make your acquaintance a. . . I am a dentist. . .

Thanks again for the invitation - if you will give me a shipping address, I will get some products to you tomorrow.

Best Wishes,

Ellie P. DDS

Hi Kathy- Wow! Quite a bio!

Sure would like to actually speak with you one of these days... You may be able to benefit from learning about the essential oils and one product that athletes particularly like (others like it too)  it is considered a "secret weapon" for China's Olympic coaches.. Called Ningxia Red- the plant source has been used for centuries in China and has been studied for over 50 years. My company has exclusive export rights to the plant puree so that the product can be as fresh as possible when mixed here in the states. I will have to locate some printed info that I can email to you... You can add this to your own protocol and teach others to use things that will enhance their workout and speed recovery from aches and pains. I hate to sound like a sales person but I think you really could benefit from it. I will find some links and send a different email later.

Thanks for the contact invitation.

Hi Kathy, good to make contact with you.

I see you play tennis - we're just coming to the end of a tennis tournament here in London! My husband is related to Fred Perry but none of our kids inherited the tennis playing genes.

Great to meet you,

Ms. Roberts,

My name is Susann T.  and I do powerlifting competitions also, I'm not as well-known as you by any means but I still do them. . .

. . .

It's so hard to find places to advertise as most websites advertise anything including very offensive materials which being a Christian I'm trying to find ways of advertising in other places. I realize almost wherever I advertise they use google and such search engines which of course advertise anything also, nothing I can do about that, but I can search for safer places to advertise.

I would appreciate your consideration - either way thanks and God Bless!

Kathy

Thanks for the friend invite. You have done some remarkable things. Good luck with your autobiography.

Dear Kathy,

I would be delighted to network with you.

I love the quote about bitterness. That is sooo true. Revenge is similarly self destructive and unnecessary.

I also like the next quote about action. While a certain amount of honest introspection is beneficial, too much self analysis is paralyzing.

I had found that if I want to different, I cannot stop at mentally deciding to change. I also must act differently in order to be and feel differently.

Our society tend to discount the importance of taking care of our bodies (but we are obsessed about looking exceptionally thin and young), and the significance of the information that they c an give us.

Our Soul speak to us through are feelings (as opposed to emotions that are reactions to issues, fears, etc.) And if we ignore those messages, our feelings relay a stronger message through our health and impulsive behavior.

I also have discovered that walking can be a meditation for me. I get many insights while I walk and it seems easier to quiet my mind when my body is do a repetitious activity.

I think it is wonderful that you are working with young people. Establishing healthy habits and beliefs can be life changing for them. That is an important area that is omitted in most schools.

. . . If you would be interested, just let me know.

I had always been enthusiastic about exercise and physical activity. . .

If you had any ideas on where to find some information about exercise that would benefit my health rather than just wear me down, I would appreciate it.

I don't want to impose on your time and expertise, so anything that quickly comes to mind will do.

I look forward to communicating with you again. . .

Dear kathyroberts,

Hello Kathy My name is Joyce and I live in Georgia. I did go to your website and I must congratulate you on your achievements and also the fact of teaching others about being drug free.

I am just inviting you to take a look at the Monavie product I have been involved with, which has been a very good source of energy as well as being a lucrative business opportunity for me as well as others.

I have a gym where I advertise it at and alot of people do take it because it is just made of 19 various fruits, it has given them more energy and no aches and pains as they exercise.

I invite you to visit my website and review the product and also the business opportunity. Several pro athletes have endorsed the product and become distributors themselves.

Thank you for your time and if you are interested or have additional questions, please let me know.

Have a great day!

I am an avid tennis player, but I had a wrist injury (2 small fractures and a torn ligament – in my left wrist), so my weight training has been put on hold for awhile longer.

Not that I was ever anything like you in my weight training practice or abilities.

I had to wear a cast for a month and then a removable splint for another month.

So lately, swimming is best for me in addition to my tennis.

Hi Kathy,

I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of long term symptoms you would expect to see from steroid use in body builders. (both and men and women) I know several IFBB
Pros at my gym and know they have been taking steroids for many years. They continue to claim that they have no side effects. What happens when they stop taking them? Can they stop?

Hope you are having a great July 4th week end.

Ms. Roberts,

 I have an email from 2002 that talked about you doing convocations encouraging students to avoid the dangers of drugs.
 I was wondering if you are still doing these convocations, and, if so, what the cost would be (we  have 6 elementary schools that would likely do the same convocation) and whether you have openings during the week of October 27.

 Thanks!

Kathy,

What a nice surprise to hear from you and to get these great photos too!!

Wow, it was a pleasure to meet you and share some time together. I am all about making great memories, and we enjoyed so much our time with you.  We were disappointed
not to be there to tell you bye. So glad to hear from you. I will save your email and stay in touch. I hope you will be back to Birmingham and get in touch with us too.

I agree it is so important to be thoughtful and remember there are caring people in this world. You were very kind to my family and still remarking on the children. They all enjoyed you too.

Please keep us up to date in your accomplishments. Add us to your email lists.

Good Luck to you this year and have a great summertime as well. Do you have any autographed pics for sale so that I can buy one from you for my birthday next month(june 28)?
I look forward talking to you again next time my friend and here's my address at the bottom:

Hi Kathy,

. . . Kathy my powerful Sister in faith. I have been praying for your future progress as the wonderful woman You truly are. 
Pure strength is so very beautiful for us who are powerful and faithful ourself, but so very frightful for people who lack all human traits.
 You are my sister and you are so wonderful in every way.  You dare to stand and acknowledge Jesus and Our Father the almighty God when others tremble when they are put to the test.
 God has blessed you with SOULPOWER and with your own and refined personality you have built a pure body.
 A body which is so very powerful, a body which can push the limits of thought. . . . They search for pills and You turn to the The Holy Bible.
 They are stabbing You in your Powerful Back, but you are too strong for them,  you bleed some but God puts You back on track again.
 You turn around and look them in the eyes “what´s up with that faithless dull knife you have been using on me”, their eyes empty with visions of greed and gold,
 Your eyes filled with sunshine, warmth and the Power of Faith. They can't take it – all that power, they turn their heads in shame.
 You Powerful Kathy brush their filth of your clothes and walk away proud as always. While they are terrified and stay that way  -  cause they have not met God; God resides

 inside Kathy and carries Kathy - God is holding Kathy's hand filling her soul with the strength of the Holy Spirit on a continuous basis. Today I am starting my running practice 

again. I have built my body in gym until know, strengthening my legs in order to keeping my weak  spot the knee area in place. Working my m. Rectus femoris.I have also trained

 my abs, back and shoulders. But know I will hit the roads doing   3 – 4/week and keeping it between 60-120 minutes per each pass. My goal is to bring my weight down to 83 kg
 and run 10 km at 40 minutes. 
Sending my blessings Your way powerful Sister Kathy!

around the gym as inspiration to the kids. To show them that we aren't weak when we serve Him, but men of strength.

Keep up the good work serving Him!

Hi Kathy, 
 
I've been looking at your website and am impressed with your achievements---especially since you compete both raw and drug-free---and your speeches to kids about drug-free lifestyles.
What a great example you set for kids, and for women. 
 
I've been lifting for about 10 years and have competed in only one local tournament (which I won, with a 135 lb bench, weighing in at 123 lb). I am not a competitive person as a rule, but since
 I am both older than most lifters (I'll be 56 in April) and am 100% lifetime drug-free and have never used a bench shirt, I feel that maybe I could set a positive example for older women considering
taking up lifting in their 40s. 
 
Last week I bench pressed 160 lb, a personal best. I consistently lift in the 140-150 lb range (for single reps) and 120 lb for 10 reps. My body weight is around 130. 
 
Would you please recommend any organizations I should look into for competitions (preferably in MA or nearby). 
 
I had a knee replacement last year, so heavy deadlifting is not on my program. I would be interested in events for bench press only---and where the other competitors are most likely to also be drug-free.
 I've looked at photos of some of the so-called clean lifters and find it hard to believe they are drug-free. 
 
. . .
 
Best wishes,

I Want to wish you a Happy New Year Kathy. I've looked into your site every so often and it gets better all the time. This last time I noticed a tennis theme in the site. Are there plans to
put in different themes every so often??? Thanks if you have time to reply.

Regards from - bob.
Hi Kathy,

YES! Kathy is powerful spiritually, mentally and physically.   Kathy does not believe in hiding her strength, some can not take her overwhelming power, be it in the gym, classroom or
workplace Kathy knows her way.  Kathy is built to last. God holds her hand and give her power, maybe this fact offend some people who do not believe in anything but the dollar.

So for you all people who have taken Kathy's words and used her insights and powerful charisma /willpower in order to straighten out your own personal agenda. Kathy has given a lot
throughout the years, and some of you have taken advantage of her care, advice, pep-talk and encouragement, you have taken and you have not given anything in return.  Kathy is a
good human and she believes we are put here by God to do good  unto each other regardless of status or color.

But now this proud woman has reached her limits when it comes to lending a helping hand and receiving a deceitful smile in return.  Kathy knows what she talks about and her advice will
lift you above your inner obstacles which hold you back. This woman is pure power and she is pure at heart. So in the future I suggest that you people start to pay for what you taken from
this wonderful woman.

Kathy is a professional and her words and helping hand makes a difference. So honor this woman and pay her for the services she provides, no matter the sort of work she does for you. 
By doing this you will help Kathy start believing in this support-work she has been in involved with for many years.  Kathy has put all her power and heart into it, but a lot of you people have let her down.

It is time to give something back to this wonderful woman.  Her name is Kathy Roberts, and she is all power!

Hi Kathy,

It has been a while, but you know I will always be your soul brother.  GOD is good, and He has blessed us both with strength and insight. We have experienced a lot of obstacles and dealt with them. 
The Lord of Everything wants to build us up before He calls upon us, that is why the journey we both travel is not in vain.

We keep our bodies clean, healthy and strong, and we train our mental strength so we can crush the devil and his men/women with a blink of an eye. They fear God's true soldiers. We are not fake
Christians who pretend to believe and do go out in darkness and do evil against his brother and sister.  God will judge them and set things right, do not concern yourself with these evil people.

The Lord has a mission for you and you are walking it right now, with pride and dignity – He likes the way you are (The way you built yourself with His guidance). He wants you to continue, he wants
more from You Kathy.  He has given You strength for a purpose, He has given You the light of righteousness for a purpose.  You and I know this by heart.  So lift yourself up as you have done before
powerful Kathy, look the empty people dead in the eye, and they will not bother You.   They are so afraid of You, they can not sleep and they can not eat because they have done you and others wrong,
but remember you have tried to help and guide them.

Now God steps in and He wants you to move on.  The new year will be a good for You regardless of the happenings in this world, regardless of the people you deal with, because You and I have the
same time frame as God, the frame is endless in faith and love.

You are such a special person.

Hello Wonderful,

How are you doing? I miss seeing you. We need to catch up one day. I've been

very good. . .

. . .

C.  Thomas

Hi,

I was just reading about your website, and I would like to commend you on your accomplishments in powerlifting. It is a good sport that I hope will soon get some mainstream
support to get a television spot on ESPN. I am a powerlifter also that is doing really well in NASA, and I am a raw lifter. Well nice talking and reading about you.

Cyrus Ford

You are too sweet. I have those moments all the time. :)

. . .

Thank you so much for the nice things about sponsorship. We feel it works

both ways. We couldn't do the tournament without people like you. . . .

 I am so glad to hear positive things about the advertisement for you, that's

great!! . . .

Thank you for being so good to keep in touch with us too!

Congratulations on finishing your classes! That is great. I know you are

probably glad to have that over with. What is your next adventure?

. . .

Have a good day!

Chaney

Hello Kathy!

 It's such a blessing to see that you are still promoting drug free performance and faith in God.

I competed with you at the 1998 Sugarloaf contest.  I was wondering if you purchased the full length competition video.

 If you still possess it, is there a way we can make arrangements for me to purchase a copy of it from you?

Jonda Scell

Many thanks for your kind words, Kathy. We feel so fortunate to have found you also !!

Great to hear from you Kathy!

Forget about these women, . . ., they are not even worth as much as one of your toenails.

You have power within Kathy, they have power in this corrupt society because they are weak and sleep with the devil and his followers.

You are healthy Kathy, they are filled with steroids and pills to make them happy and pills to make them sleep and forget, because they are to afraid to face God and do what he orders us to do Now and in eternity.

They see your power on all levels, they see the power in your eyes and they tremble so much.

They must team up, they must take steroids, drugs and alcohol in order to face you.

But they are empty inside, because they can not love your brother and sister as you can, as God has thought us to do.

Their souls are lost, and only the Lord clean them up properly – otherwise they will for sure belong to the devil.

They have chosen to live in a lie, they have chosen to cheat, abuse and to whore in order to win short material success.

You powerful Kathy have choose to walk alongside Jesus.

See the difference, You are beautiful and powerful,

But in a materialistic world people like You and I are a minority

And the materialistic devils run the show.

But God will send His Angels and restore order again,

And until that wonderful day You and I must follow His and only his Law and His only son Jesus.

And we will for sure overcome.

At the moment we must be Fearless and Strong.

We must pray with all our heart, mind, spirit and soul each and every day!

We must continue to develop ourselves in accordance with qualities is fitted for an eternal life in Gods service.

Have a blessed Sunday powerful Kathy!

And wonderful start to the new week!

Remember, you are chosen by God to have this strength inside you!

God has a wonderful mission for You, just as He planted a seed in Nelson Mandela and in Martin Luther King, he has planted a seed of everlasting power, beauty and love in you.

And now You should Go on and do what You do best Kathy!

Fighting for the Lord by continue walking your path of power!

Hi Kathy!

Just checking in to see how you are doing.

I hope all is well with you and you are getting back some of all the warmth and strength you spread around you.

. . .

God Bless You Kathy and the Path You so proudly have chosen.

You are so very blessed!

Be thankful and go on with what you do best!

Namely,

Fighting for what is right according to God,

Not what mankind believe to be right.

All my best wishes to You powerful Kathy!

Håkan

Wow, Kathy --

. . . We so appreciate what you are doing for us -- and for the children.  . . .

Kathy-

It is good to hear your thoughts were with me & you did not even know I was so sick! Thank you for the email...it really lifted my spirits...I appreciated it very much so...
Time is moving so quickly right now at a snails pace (whatever that means, sometimes slow sometimes zooming)...yet recovery takes lots of time! I am going to the gym each
day & gettting on the treadmill for some slow waking & doing limited small weight movements.  . . But you & I both know from personal experience that they will come back with
proper work ethic & time. . . you are right...life gets us down sometimes, but I am beginning to realize that overcoming our largest falls creates an asset that only will lift us higher
in the end. Positive outlook, faith, & generosity are all key components of a good life . . . I WILL be just as strong as I was when we were in C-ville competing one of these days . . .

Good morning Ms. Roberts,

I was surfing the web and I found your amazing website. Let me first introduce myself, My name is Kerri S.  and I am a mother of 3 beautiful children, attending the University of
Phoenix where I will obtain my Business Management Degree. I found your site and your story to be extremely uplifting. I am trying to order your book. I truly love your concept
about GirlWISE. Ms. Roberts, I am on the brink of a new business that incorporates some of your ideologies and I would love to sit down and share with you about my concept.
Some of the ideas I have generated are focused around young girls and uplifting your INNER Beauty...I know you probably get tons of emails a day, but there was something about
your site that really intrigued me. I am a business-minded individual and the Lord has given me this business vision, and I am currently trying to birth it. You have a fantastic motto
 and my concepts are similar. I would love to meet with you sometime and share my idea with you. I am sure you are a very busy woman, but I am going to believe there was a
reason for me finding your site today, after I spoke with my business consultant. Thank you for taking my email, and I do hope to hear from you soon.

Many blessings,

Kerri S.

Hello ;))

Thank you so much for that help! . . . I believe in God and as He taken care of me.  He is going to  bless you more for your work ;)) Because everything we do it's for His glory, and we working so hard so
we will reach as many people as it possible...

Miss Ya ;)  bye;)))

Hi Kathy, 
. . . It was so nice to meet you, I am so glad you got to come down. You have a great heart and it is so good to know that there are people like you who care about these girls. We could 
not have tournaments like this if it weren't for generous people like you.  Keep in touch with us, I would love to hear how your travels and 
competitions go. . .

Professional Tennis Players

Your tennis photos were awesome!! I can't believe the difference in your pictures from your college days till now.

I still think you are one amazing woman.

Kathy, 

Great as always your e-mails. By reading it on different levels I am glad to conclude (comparing to previous letters) that you are ever evolving growing more powerful and more insightful for each year.

. . .

God  blessed you in that way.

Kathy

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoyed the day. You did a great job of lifting records on every lift!

John

Best Kathy,

I hope this e-mail reach you in the best health.  A lot of things have happened lately, so I have been busy getting back on track. Now I am back, stronger, wiser, more mature and filled with commitment.  I want to share these powerful traits which flow inside of me (thanks to God) with you. . . .

Further I saw what you have done lately; Kathy competed in 100% Raw Powerlifting Ironman/Woman National Championships in Stanardsville, VA, March 2007.  2007 National Raw Powerlifting Champion  Kathy won 1st Place in the Women's 181 pound division setting a Two World Records, Two National Records, and Two Virginia State Records, raw (no equipment). . .

You are truly amazing. Powerful and wonderful You!  People often think that this powerful woman was created over-night, but we both know that the immense and radiant beauty, power, love, knowledge, and faith you possess  are the fruits of a lifelong commitment and struggle of being pure in the presence of God and a will to always strive to become better in the positive ways God promote, not in the ways of Man.

. . . These people can´t see what true quality is, the quality God want his children to strive for. You powerful Kathy is an example of an excellent disciple of God, And when these people see how very hard you strive, struggle and fight to get this light which shines inside of You, the light of God –THE LIGHT OF LIFE, they shrink in size and turn to the devil for advice and we know where that road ends.

They are lost Powerful Kathy! Do not let them disturb YOU!  Turn instead toward people who embrace YOU, people who embrace your physical strength as something wonderful – a gift from God. People who are powerful in themselves not from riches created from other mans hard labor but from love to God and his fellow man.  True people see the light in You and can look You in the eyes and see your journey as similar to their own. They are not afraid because they are also alone, because they have God – they do not need to hide in the frightened crowd.

Those people are you friends, your soul-sisters and soul-brothers.  Those people will never let You down.  They are few in numbers but they powerful and beautiful, and we You and I we want only that Kathy!  Power and power can create wonderful things, while power and fear only bring disaster.

God Bless YOU wonderful and powerful KATHY!

Håkan, Sweden

Hi Kathy,

The pleasure was all mine. You are a great athlete and a greater competitor. I hope to see you again at another meet. Good luck with you future endeavors and thank you very much for . . .

Antonio

Kathy,

Thanks for the quick photos, Chris will be pleased! It was a pleasure to meet you, and to help, and I always would if we meet again too. I was delighted you took it so seriously. I have stumbled on your site before but never knew who that person was, but now I know it is you! Great photos and music, is that an original Irene Cara piece of music?

Best of luck,
Andrew Smith, North Carolina

Hello Kathy,

Thanks so much for the photos. I really enjoyed the meet today and getting to know you and Wendy. You are an inspiration to me as I hope to become a faithful competitor breaking many records. As of right now I am recovering from a shoulder injury that occurred at work. . . . But hopefully it will be short lived and soon I can go back to the gym and start working my way back up to the numbers I was at before my injury. . . . Wendy is also an inspiration. Some of us don't realize how good we have it until we meet someone like Wendy who has overcome adversity to accomplish her goals in life. Well I've taken up enough of your time. I just wanted to say a few words and let you know you have made and new friend. I hope we stay in touch and hopefully we will see each other at another meet soon. Take care and God Bless.

Hello Kathy.

I stubbled onto your web site and I was very impressed.

I haven't seen you in several years and I simply wanted to say hello and say congratulations on having a great career in our sport.

Keep up the good work Kathy.

Rich Peters - NASA Powerlifting
(President of Natural Athlete Strength Association)

Hi Kathy,

How are you? My name's Eric and I just want to say that I truly have mad love and respect and respect for you and all that you have done so far not only for your great career in powerlifting but also on your great service to your community as well. You have come a long way growing up in a loving large family in which you grew up a tomboy playing in such sports such as track and tennis before the iron bug finally bit you and you became hooked on lifting weights and the rest was history.

You have the great track record and stuff that legends are made of winning countless local, national and world competitions in powerlifting and setting and breaking world records as well before the dark day of 9/11 came when the world was changed forever. You injured your back escaping from the attacked pentagon and needed 9 months to recover worrying if you ever became the great champion that you were again But thanks to the love and support of family, friends and fans from all over the world who love you, came back strong and now better than ever!

You are definitely a great winner and champion that has seen and been thru it all in your life and we need to learn a thing or two from you and knowing that you can never judge a book by it's cover and know that muscles are beautiful in the human body in both men and women. I see you as an angel of inspiration to people like me who had beaten the odds and made our lives better. Having overcome Brain Damage since birth to graduate from school on time and now I'm  a champion of my own life, but I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my family who were there with me ever since the beginning. I love your website and I was impressed by your great life story. You have indeed become my new hero of my heart and as a proud black man myself its always great to see another black woman doing good for herself.

Well Kathy I hope that you read this letter and know that you have made a brand new fan and friend in me that loves and respects all the hard work that you go thru everyday to be the best and while they will always be playahatrs in this world today that will always look down on you just remember that they'll always be people like myself that will always respect you! Good luck to you in 2007 and always keep in touch from time to time and god loves you and your family!

I Love You Kathy and all my Powerlifting goddesses of muscle

Hello Kathy,

. . .

 I saw that you have done it again, both in November and December; Lifetime awards and First place in any competition you enter.

 You are truly one of God´s chosen. Feeling the power is not your motto,  you are the power – Power given by Him.

 All my best wishes to you and your family!  I pray for your future journey and your well-being on all levels.

Hello Kathy

You don't know me but I am going to introduce myself. I found  your e mail on your website ( it is a very nice website )

My name is Celine and I am a big supporter of Jarka Gajdosova. I saw her play for the first time in september 2005 and i was immediately impressed. With some friends we really love to go on tournaments to support tennis players and specially Jarka. We have also discover the so nice girl she is and she is a friend now. This year I was at the us open with a friend and we saw you from far . With this mail i just want to say you that I have the biggest respect for the people who can help Jarka to reach her dreams. I think it's important for her to have people like you to motivate and like her. I really believe in her because she has everything to do a great career.

Regards,
Celine

. . .It was a pleasure to talk with you. You are so inspiring to us and we appreciated your insight as a professional athlete and Christian person. Hope all is well with your holiday planning. Best regards to you and your family. . .

Wow I Am Soo Surprised That's So Cool I Am So Shocked Nice To Know You Make A Difference In Other People's Life That's Great Keep It UP Kathy

Classmate

Kathy,

I am seeing a therapist for social anxiety disorder and you sound so much more real and your advice is very practical. I refuse to take any SSRIs (drugs like Prozac) that affect mood. I want to beat this slowly, on my own.

I think all this started because I was different since I was young. I came to the US at . . .  and didn't know English. Other kids did not talk to me, ignored me, often made fun of my clothes (my family had no money and we were on welfare for a few years). I have a lot of scars from those days. I turned to school from the beginning always thinking I could use it to escape people.

I lived that way until now in grad school . . .  I learned I am stronger than I thought, and I have new friends and I will NEVER allow them to get close enough to hurt me again. I am not angry and do not hate, but THEY have lost me forever, because I will not forget.

That is great about school. I wish our class atmosphere was like that. In the beginning people were open to each other and then gossip and rumors, lies flew. People began to show their true colors. So I decided to revert to old habits, I avoided them all and focused on school and myself. I am glad I did. None of them are worth caring about anymore. I refuse to be a part of that toxic environment anymore. I found people that matter to me, and that treat me like a real person, with feelings, and respect. I deserve that I need to remember that. . . . J.C.

. . .wanted you to know that everything's on it's way to getting the show on the road! I really appreciate all you've done. You're such an amazing lady and I know for certain God had us meet for a reason. . .

Blessings, Rachel =)

Good afternoon Ms. Roberts,
 

First I'd like to say that you are truly an inspiration to women all over the world!
 

Also, congratulations on your Bench Press record - how amazing.
 

I am wondering if you have any promotional posters from past or upcoming powerlifting competitions that you would consider selling to me. If so, please advise the cost.

 

. . . I look forward to hearing from you when it is convenient.
 

Thank you and keep up the hard work!


Sincerely,
Sandra

..................................................................................................

Your athletic career is impressive on it's own, but doing it drug free in this day and age puts you in a whole other realm! I used to be a personal trainer for 6years in a gym where the use of steroids was very prevalent. I know the pressure is there, but stay strong!

. . .

Thank you for your positive energy.

Kind Regards,
Sandra, Toronto, Ontario Canada

Dear Ms. Roberts,

I think it's great you are promoting drug free powerlifting. And to have been ranked so high in a sport with so much steroid action going on is great. I competed on my high school's powerlifting team for my last 3 years of high school and we were 3 time state champs. I came in 2nd place my first year, then I was a state champ the next two years, as well as captain. Our boys' team has won it the last 5 years, which is harder for them because they face competition from many, many teams who endorse performance enhancing drugs. My best friend won Nationals twice and he was 3rd in World over the summer: all drug free.

I just wanted to let you know what you do is very noble. Staying steroid free is a really issue to me. It just goes to show that no matter how many drugs you take, if you don't have the heart and determination, you can't win. The sport taught me discipline and leadership and gave me some of the best friends and Coaches I will ever know. I really admire what you are doing and I say keep it up because people need to know drugs aren't the answer. If you want it, you've got to sacrifice and prioritize. Even alcohol should be given up, in my opinion.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Amber

Keep on Truckin/Hoo-ah!

Hi,

Hi Kathy, my name is Fereshteh and a friend of yours Duane gave me your web site and email. We met at the gym and told me that he had a friend who was really strong and lifted a lot of weight like I do. I saw you records and wow I am very impressed indeed. I am thinking about competing and thought you might be able to give me some insight. Please feel free to contact me and if you would like to workout together sometime please let me know.

Warm regards,

Fereshteh

Dear Kathy,

Firstly Kathy id like to thank you with all my heart!. Your website has helped give me the strength I needed to save my life. My name is Julie, I'm a 29yr old single mother of two. In the last 2yrs I've gone through a messy divorce which has been the loneliest time of my life. I got mixed up in the wrong crowd and soon became a crystal meth addict. I was brought up in a very loving family and had no excuses for my behavior but I was hooked on this drug and was very quickly losing everything in my life. I got to the stage that if I didn't quit I knew I might as well not be living. I desperately wanted help but was to ashamed of myself to talk to anyone. I then found your web site which has been like a bible to me .You are my inspiration!. I spent months reading your articles over and over and I've printed out all of the quotes which I still read daily. I've been of drugs for 6mths now and will never go back . I'm finally being the mother I knew I could be and I'm proud of myself again.

THANK YOU KATHY!  you've given me the strength and guidance I was searching for, God bless you.

Kindest regards
Julie, Australia

Dear Kathy,

I'm not sure if you remember me or not, but I've met you a few times at some of the pro circuit tennis tournaments I played over the summer. One of your friends told me that you do professional weightlifting and I recently went to your website and checked out some of the articles you've written. I'm now back at school . . . and I've been trying to get into really good shape. But I'm not exactly sure what is the best way to train . . .

. . .Thanks so much for all the advice. I feel like I have a better idea of
what I need to do now to get fitter. . .

Shelley - Anne Newell

Hi Kathy,

I typed in Christian powerlifting and your site was one of the first ones I saw. Awesome site. I see you competed in the ADAU meet in Erie, Pa. I remember you from that meet. I also compete. I have been on Joe Orengia's team for 11 years now. I try to use my lifting to bring glory to God. I tell people that I always become afraid of the weight but I ask God for courage and then instantly I am no longer afraid and can focus on my lift. I used to get so hyped up about getting trophies. Not any more, but I still like to compete. Next time I see you in Erie or at a ADAU meet I will introduce myself.

May the grace and peace of Jesus be with you,

Dave heintzel

Hi Kathy

Dear Kathy,

Thanks for your response to my inquiry. I would like to purchase some pictures but I was hoping I could pay you to email me some--so I could add them to the collection I already have in my computer. Is this possible?

. . . Thanks!

Dear Kathy:

Jason my son just graduated from High School and is training at Gold's Gym. He won three trophy's bodybuilding in April at the Virginia National Physic Competition in Colonial Heights, Virginia. He trains with this guy named Scott. I don't recall him at all and He states he has trained at Gold's dating back to Iron Work days. Do you know him? He is a tall Blonde, Blue eyed guy build of course like a brick rock. . . . Anyway, how are you! I would love to send you an email of Jason. Email me back at . . . and I will send photos. Hey, give me a call my phone number is the same . . . . Love to hear from you and I love your web sight.

Hello Kathy!

I hope this mail reach you in the best of health.

I want to give you some inspiration . . .

I hope your training of yourself and others are going well.

Keep on the righteous track and nothing or nobody will or can harm you - powerful Kathy!

All my blessings and best wishes to You Kathy!

. . .

Best Kathy,

I hope all is well with you.

I also hope and believe that you have focused on yourself in order to be reborn . . .

Coming out stronger than ever before with the Aid of our Lord.

The Creator loves you,  you are so very loved and cherished by him. A true disciple, a true human is what He sees when He looks at your beautiful person.

It has been hard to be introvert for a Joyful and friendly person like you. The true power-pack had to slow down and concentrate on her own needs for now.

I know You, all powerful Kathy, will come out of this stage in your earthly life as a even better and whole human being than before. Some may say that is impossible for a wonderful person like you.

But I say, Kathy has always evolved for the better and this time she will truly chock the world.

All my best wishes best Kathy!

Your friend,

 

Hey this is Husham from soc class,

I didn’t know we had a celebrity in the group! Just wanted to let you I'm amazed at your accomplishments and I admire your talents. Nice website by the way. Anyways I don’t think I will be attending class today. I’m not feeling well. I wanted to know what should be done. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Thanx

Hi Kathy,

Thank you very much for all your help and support! The pictures are amazing! I love them! Thank you for contacting . . . the people in the media ! You have been a great help. . . They are really great and the ones from the Pro-Am too!!! Thanks again for all your help . . . !

Hey Kathy,

This is Art ("Big"- relative, I know:) White dude from the gym that went to school with Jeremy). Thanks for sending me the link to your site. I honestly didn't know just how hard core you were. I'd love a chance to train with you when my protégé takes a break or moves. I have never truly "power-lifted", instead I have stuck to the body builders way of lifting and I think a true power-lifting workout would do me wonders. I hope you would consider training with me in some capacity in the future- I would really love the opportunity. And you can bet I am a kick-ass workout partner too! When are you at the gym these days (so I can keep an eye out and say hello)?

Have a great day!

Dear Kathy,

I decided to put my words where my mouth is, and contacted a world famous bodybuilder, on their email address, where fans send them praise, or I guess jealous people bother them, I did neither, I told them the true hard facts about steroid abuse, (I have no proof this person uses them, I just looked at their pic) and I told them if they don't quit their life will be shortened by at least 20 years, and they could end it in agony. I also sent them information about how to stop etc, and told them how stupid they have been, and need to change. I thought I would get an email telling me to fxxx off, but I got an email thanking me, and they were surprised anyone cared enough about them to talk to them about it, I was surprised by that too.

I end my quest for steroid knowledge, with Daniel's final thought. (*based loosely on Jerry Springers final thought,) Imagine a world steroid free, a world where people only won events through hard work and determination, like my good friend Kathy Roberts. Imagine a world where sport didn't define a nations power, but defined only the athletes greatness. In that world, Powerhouses of sport like the United States, Russia, and China, would become only players in a game dominated by many individuals, spotted around the globe from many different Continents etc. The Olympic table would be very different, no more 1,2,3 in the hammer for Russia, no more 1,2,3 in the 100m for America, no more 1,2,3 in the ladies 10,000 for China. No one would care about running sub 10 secs for 100, because no one would be able to do it! No one would care about throwing the javelin over 100m, because the definition of strength would no longer be the same, 70m would be incredible! Just imagine such a world, where Kenya was top of the athletics world championships, because that country produces more natural runners than anywhere else on earth! America wouldn't even be in the top nations necessarily, neither Russia, because I simply do not believe any of their top athletes are natural, they are all heavily drugged up on steroids, you only have to look at them to realize this. I am not waiting for this to happen however, because sport stands for power, and for this to happen, men would have to care about fair play instead. America wants to be the greatest, China wants to take over, Russia wants to prove herself still, and a thousand smaller countries want to show their athletic prowess, by using substances to prove themselves.

. . .

Kathy,

Thanks for the msg...and I'm blushing :-)

Did have a chance to look over your website and WOW, what great accomplishments!!!  I also saw that you play tennis. 

I like tennis but don't know many people play it, perhaps we should play sometimes.

See you around.

btw...how are your abs?

Hello powerful Kathy,

 

I am doing very well and I feel strong! I have a cross country race (12 kilometer) . . .

 

I hope things are going your way Kathy!  Remember that God is always looking over and harboring his favorite soldiers. So you do not need to worry about a thing as Stevie Wonder put it.

 

Stay focused on yourself . . .

 

Let the people the devil is controlling not bother you, they will soon be wiped away.  And do not let other weak souls bother you either. You have carried so many weak souls on your strong shoulders during the years! And what really happened only you know.

 

Concentrate on yourself, during these times you may sometimes wonder what you are doing, but that is only because you are one of the few thinking people out there.

Close your eyes and be one with God, see the path he is preparing for you. A path full of beauty, strength and endurance, He wants to teach you more and enable you to grove strong on all dimensions in life here and hereafter. Preparing you for eternity, the only preparation there is to talk about.

 

God Bless You and your journey Kathy!

Hi Kathy,

This is quite an impressive website. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Thank you very much for the wonderful pictures of the family. . .It was great to have a chance to spend some time with all of the family last week.

Hope your . . . classes are going ok.

Sincerely,
Debbie

Hi my friend

Thank you for your e mail. It was so encouraging and I hope everything is getting better for you. You're not a perfect person no one is we all have out lil faults, this is what moulds our characters. However you're one of the most inspiring truthful and encouraging person I have ever met. I am sure those who know u personally and have u as a coach are truly blessed.

I am always open to new friends but once i find they have lied to me they become more of an acquaintance rather than a true friend.

. . . I hope everything is ok with you. When you have the time I would love to be updated.

Thank you soooooooooooooo much for everything

Take care
Love u always
Shazza

Dear Kathy,

Please excuse my late response to your last message. . . .

Kathy, we live in tragic times. Corporate greed, in collusion with governmental elites, seeks maximum profits, which completely ignores the population's health. So, whether it is tobacco/chemicals, food/chemicals, environment/chemical runoffs, etc., the American population is at risk. . . .

So, yes, there is a direct relationship between chemical poisoning and our health problems. I gather that environmental problems are so bad in East St. Louis that the fumes from chemical runoffs ooze out of the ground!

. . .

Good afternoon, Kathy:

I was talking with my husband today about needing a drug free female powerlifter to run by some questions. When I started this search, I knew I would find questionable sites and thought I was prepared, but I found out I wasn't. Some of the sites are bottom line, pornographic. As I explored your site and found that you site Scripture, I become relieved. This is the first time I have contacted someone I do not know over the internet. I am grateful you have the fortitude and determination to speak in truth. Thank you.

I am a 49 year old Christian female powerlifter who is getting discouraged that the work I am doing in the gym appears to be for naught. I think my metabolism, along with hormonal changes, are creating hurdles with my ability to gain strength... Is this something you would be able to help me with?

Hi Kathy,

What a pleasure to receive your message! How are you? I hope that all is going well on your side.

Although I had a setback in 2003, with pneumonia and cancer, I continue to train. As a matter of fact, I achieved a personal best yesterday with a 405 lb. squat/5 reps. I had squatted 425 lbs. in one of the Virginia Open competitions in March 2003, which is where we met I think, but I had never squatted that much in the gym without competition. Not so bad for an old 63 year-old dude! I have one more week in this cycle, and I hope to punch 435 or 445 next week.

I've been thinking about participating in some Virginia competitions this summer, . . . . I will see. I check out Powerlifting USA, so I'll see. . . .

Perhaps our paths will cross again soon.

Take care.

Hello Kathy my name is Deidra Champion and I wanted to know what are the best exercises for flat abs without necessarily going to the gym do to a busy schedule. I have an upcoming trip in July and want to say goodbye to flab and hello to flat. thank-you,

 Deidra

Hi Kathy,

thanks so much for your email, I was very happy to hear from you. You asked whether I'm still lifting, and I am. In fact, I'm competing at the German Championships the day after tomorrow. I don't know if I mentioned that I live and compete in Germany- I have to admit that I don't really remember what I wrote to you, because it was such a long time ago.

There are some people in my life, including my former training partner who used to motivate and support me (just mentally, not financially, but it meant a lot to me at the time), and these people don't even talk to me any more because I became pretty outspoken against drug abuse at the gym I used to train at. Like, I told the new guys that drugs are a bad idea and why. For convenience reasons, I used to train at this gym because only 200 yards away from my home, but unfortunately, the majority of the guys there are on drugs (steroids and growth hormones), including the owner. Now I train at a typical commercial gym, and I'm the only powerlifter there. This sounds like trouble, but everybody- the trainers and gym members- are very nice and I have no trouble at all. I do get some stares when I squat and deadlift heavy :-)

Here's the irony- most of the guys at the steroid gym couldn't even deadlift as much as I can. I deadlifted 340 lbs at 147 lbs BW in December, and I only used a belt to do it. The day after tomorrow, I'm also going to compete raw, it's a full power meet. I know that I lessen my chances by not using the suits and shirts, but I just can't bring myself to do use them any more :-)

...

Take care and thanks again for writing,

... and thanks again for your really inspirational website!

Mary, Germany

Hello Ms. Roberts,

I am sending this because I tried to send you an e-mail. Today was the first time that I looked through some of your records and seen exactly the weight that you lifted. I am really amazed, you really would have to work hard to lift these weight's, I did not know there was a shirt that you can use to help with lifting, (power t-shirt). Show you how much I actually know about power lifting. I am thinking really hard about lifting weights again, but nowhere near the weights that you do. I'll start at maybe 50-60 I don't want to hurt myself. I hope I'm not as foolish as to try anything more to start. I can lift 90lbs bags of cement for work every once an awhile but that's about as much I think would be smart for me to try. Who knows what I may do in the future.

. . .

Hello Ms Roberts,

I have a question to ask it is more so your permission to mention you in my essay? I would like others to know that their people in sports like you who don't use steroids and that you stand up against the use of these drug's I wouldn't do this without your permission this I promise. I would send my essay to you for approval before I would submit it, another promise I would give. I know this is on short notice. I have about 2 weeks to write or I should say rewrite and another rewrite. . .

Thank You for your time and writing back to me. It has been amazing reading your e-mails I keep thinking of them as letters the old fashion way of thinking. Some of the old habits are hard to break.

May the Lord watch over you and protect you, I know that he is with you always.

Sincerely Your Friend and Fan Always,

P. R. Doss

Thank you very much . . . They turned out great! Once again, thank you very much for taking the pictures. You are a great photographer! Thanks again for watching Taylor play this weekend. We look forward to seeing you . . .soon.

~Jim & Taylor~

I was really shocked to receive an answer from you. I actually feel honored. . .    

. . . I know it really must be hard on you, it must be a tough responsibility, working hard for every step you take, not taking the easy way out. Knowing that our children and myself included admire you. I can see why some take the easy way out. But to be strong in what you believe so that we see this and we want to be like you. The lord made you a very strong woman so other women will try to do things that they have always wanted to do but didn't have the nerve to at least try. Thank You Very Much, I Believe all Have a Purpose That Only Our Father Knows What It Is He Has Already Let You Know What He Had Planned For You. I Can Say From My Heart You Are The Type Of Person That I Wish More Of Our Children Could See And Hear What You Have To Say. They Would Want To Be Like You & To Follow Your Example. Then We Will Have A Bright Future. May God Bless You, Watch Over You, For He, Is Always With You Every Step You Take I Know He Is There.

Hello Ms Roberts,

I really enjoyed your article. I am an thesis and essay on Performance-Enhancing Drugs In Sports. For my persuasive writing Class. I picked the subject last month. I was having a hard time starting the thesis. These last few day's I' I've been reading a lot then a lot more articles, it seems like it is going to go even further. The reason that I picked Lyle Alzado is because he was and now after your article, He still is my hero. I'm glad that this is going to be my last article. It was hard for me to even look up anything on him, I would have to let go of a memory that for me one of the hardest things to do. Being a young girl that loved football one of the only girls in the family who would sit there and cheer for the Raiders more so if they played the rest of my male cousins and uncles team which was the Rams. I would get chased out of the house. They would tell me go play with the girls or go help in the kitchen. I would help in the kitchen because that was my second favorite thing to do, That meant I got to eat & snack before everyone else. I still do that today eat first, Even now when I was the only lady in the whole house full men I'd be the one watching football and the guys are watching the woman channel movie or something like that. I would tell the guy's I think there was something wrong with this picture. Thank you Again for that article. You must know that if I watched wild Lyle play that I'm not really young anymore. It felt good to remember some found memories for me because there wasn't a lot of them. I am finally completing another dream for myself that wasn't an option before. I am going to college after 23 years of being out of school, I no longer live in Hawaii my cousins can't chase me out of the house. One thing I did have then and now is my size and speed. Being the smallest in a Hawaiian family wasn't that easy, Even my younger sisters is bigger that I am. She is my little bigger sister. It even looks like my kids will be bigger than I am.

Sorry for all the history. I really like your style of writing. I wish I might still have the chance to see you in a match. I thought about trying out for the weightlifting team. But my family wouldn't allow that then. So if you ever have a match or competition in Washington State I will have to go to this, that is a promise I guess for myself.

Please take care, I look forward to reading some more of your work, I have someone in Sports that I can look up to again, This in it's self means a lot.

P. Doss, Washington State, USA

Hi

. . .How are you? what have you been doing?

It is great to see you back and it made me happy to read that you didn't turn off your membership. I'd miss your words of wisdom and inspiration and right now I could certainly do with some. . . .

May I ask you a few questions? I understand if you're not able to answer them due to your position.

Are you a tennis coach or a media person? You seem to be so balanced and knowledgeable in your responses on the boards. I think this is one of the reasons I admire you so much is that you don't stoop to their level nor do you stand aloof but are so balanced it makes them angry. I admired the way you handled them and sometimes I wish I had that in my life, but I tend to walk away before I express an opinion. . . .

You've probably got many friends but if you need another anytime I'd gladly join the line. . .

I hope everything is going well for you my friend and I wish you all the very best and every success in whatever you do.

Love,
Shazza, UK

Take care and keep that positive attitude.
 

Good to see you posting here Kathy. I checked out your website and immediately recognized you from the book I have by Barney Groves on powerlifting. I was very impressed with your resume of accomplishments on the platform. I hope you will check in with us again. Take care and God bless.

 Helloooooo

I found this online, it proves that strongmen don't need steroids, creatine or protein powder, neither do bodybuilders.

One thought, where are all the black bodybuilders, strongmen etc, I only found one, and I know for a fact, that pre steroid, creatine, protein powder use, black strongmen had by far the best physiques, as any old photos, paintings of African American male boxers, or african tribal warriors would prove. The white strongmen were just as strong, but just didn't look as good.

 

I hope you are doing well. I am sending you something I found online linking steroid use to deaths amongst powerlifters. I sent it, cause I know you tell people not to use them, but I know many don't listen, cause I notice the internet is full of pictures of steroidly enhanced men, and terrifyingly steroid using women. I also found that over 60 wrestlers have died since 1997 I believe, under the age of 60, and most were from steroid use. At least 15 bodybuilders who are famous in that time, and many unfamous powerlifters who no one ever heard of. I know you already know all the dangers and teach about them, and would be aware of information like this already, but still its good to get even more information, to tell the silly young men who killing themselves on steroids everyday. Even to someone like yourself who knows all this already, any information to tell people who are not aware still could be useful, cause the more you can tell young idiots who want to look like Hulk Hogan, the better.

Take care

Daniel

Kathy,

I am glad that the inspiring words came to you when you needed them, and the good thing is that you and I can always return to words like that to get back on track again when we feel tired for some reason.

It isn't easy to be strong and good-hearted when people tend to see a helping hand as weakness. They try to use the good person and drain her/him and then move on like the vultures they are. They need this refill from good individuals all the time, because they are empty inside, cold-hearted and soulless. You and I have warmth and strength from the Holy Spirit pumping in our souls – He refills our souls on a continuous basis. THAT IS WHY WE CAN GO ON WHEN OTHERS FAIL TO SEE THE TRUTH.

So chose your inner circle of friends carefully, there is a lot of empty individuals out there who need people like you and I to suck dry in order to survive yet another day.

We will not give them that free lunch anymore Kathy! We will say NO! We will turn and leave them in their wasteland that they have created for themselves. Because although God runs everything, the future is not fully set –we can influence a lot of things, the good and strong people of the world will please God and make him flexible in His wonderful Creation of everything –we will win together under guidance of God!

But times are hard nowadays, because Nobody seems to be willing to fight, they are afraid to lose. But without failure/losses along the way there can be no success in the real issues concerning humankind. Because the battle against evil is that tough.

The big dilemma is this: The Corrosion of Character is happening on a wide scale all around us and the youth of today are in bad shape not only physically but spiritually and mentally as well.

But knowing You Kathy and your strong spirit has been a blessing for me. Here is a woman who refuses to bend down and cheat in life, here is a woman who refuses to knee down for any man, only for The Lord Our Savior she will kneel for. Kathy knows right from wrong and she believes that her purpose is to pave the way for good things to come. That is the most beautiful thing a human can do. Being a black woman in USA and having accomplished as much as Kathy has, “and mark my words without licking upwards - always being true to herself and the Faith that guide her”, I cannot think of any other woman or man being that strong in our time and day. We must go back to the 1950s and 1960s to find people of similar strength as Kathy has shown and continue to show today.

. . .

May this encourage you always. Don't spend major time with minor people.

If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back during difficult times...that is not a friend.

To have a friend, be a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who reflect values, goals, interests and lifestyle. When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life.

Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better. At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.

Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock together." If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens: Chickens Can't Fly!

I love the Lord and thank Him for all that he does in my life, He is my source of existence. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things. Phil 4:13

Be Positive - Be Progressive - Take the time to make a positive difference in someone's life.

Walk by faith Not by sight and receive God's blessings

With his Love, from One of God's Children to Another

Keep on growing in every way strong Kathy!

Marya--I ran into this individual 'over the web' and was very impressed with her program (check out her web link below). . . . I remember you asking around for great speakers from various cultures recently. I think this woman would be fantastic! And it looks to me like her presentation might have some appeal for a wide variety of audiences. Any chance we could bring her here . . .? I'd be happy to take on some tasks to help make it happen should we need to spread those out.
Hello Kathy--

I am an elementary school counselor in the P. . . School District. I am impressed with your background and your 'heart' for supporting the clean development of youth. I'd like to discuss how we might be able to bring you to the P. . . School District for a presentation. . . .

Mark Cooksley, M.Ed., School Counselor

Hi Kathy,

. . . I still can't believe you have time for me with all that you have going on. You have given me inspiration, encouragement, tips and your friendship which I value greatly.

. . . I finally got to listen to the radio show you were a guest on. I thought it was really neat that the teacher called in and said how he has used a lot of your methods with his students. I really enjoyed it and agree with you 100% on attitude being learned and not something you're born with. I thought it was also awesome that you were their first female to be a guest. I hope you get to do it again as I think it helps other women realize that they can do anything they want, if they want it bad enough. Also it was good that you made it clear that you are strong and have won these competitions without steroids or other drugs, but due to a positive attitude and hard work.  I also thought it was neat too Kathy, because you don't act like a stuck up snob and you're sincere and passionate about everything you do in life. You also give and I don't think you have any idea how many lives you touch. Not only in the kids you speak to, but also people like myself and others. Your teaching me that I need to believe in myself and I can reach my goals with God, hard work and a positive attitude. . .
 

Hello Ms. Kathy! I am emailing you because I am very interested in getting into power lifting. I have been told by many that I lift pretty heavy with no really training experience in bodybuilding, well besides doing weight training to lose weight. Yes, I know there is a difference in power lifting than bodybuilding. I just know that I love to lift weights and I love lifting heavy! My goal is to compete by spring of 2006. There isn't much information in regards for women training in this sport - so I thought that it would be a good ideal to get a hold of an expert. I was on your website and I am very impressed with ALL of the accomplishments and work in the community you have done.

I was just wondering if you have any guidance or advice for me. Also, I would like to know if you have any knowledge of any trainers . . . that might be able to get me started.

Thanks a lot!

Veronica

Sending my praise to you Kathy. Keep on what you are doing, Kathy style. People are afraid of your strength and will-power, keep it that way Kathy. Do not let them distract your path of beauty. You shall concentrate your efforts towards other strong and free individuals and build a safe place for you and your true friends. . .

God Bless You strong Kathy!

Dear Kathy,

I saw a great picture of you benching in this month's (11/2005) PL USA!!! Congratulations on an excellent lift!!! Hope everything with you is good . . .

BIG STEVE, Chicago

Kathy,

. . . Oh by the way I got a 2000 Powerlifting USA magazine that Buzz gave me with your picture in it doing a 430 deadlift. It's really awesome looking so I'm saving it and hoping some of your power will rub off on me.

Kathy I hope you forgive me as I really do love visiting with you and you have given me a lot of strength in more ways than you know. Take care and get back to me when you can as I know how busy you are. . . .

. . . I still don't know how you just pull that weight up like nothing on your video. Girl you are STRONG!!!! But I respect you for that and all your knowledge as I know you have worked hard to be where your at today. . .

. . . I sure wish you were going to be there because you just make me feel at ease and I know you could immediately tell me what I'm doing wrong . . .

Hi Kathy!

My name is Daniel and I come from London England. Well done on all your achievements in power lifting, they are truly excellent! I have been doing weights since I was 13, and though I can bench press 250 pounds, at 190 pounds in weight and 6ft 1 and a half. I know this isn't much for a man lol but I like you have never used any steroids, *couldn't afford them anyway lolol. I have put some pics of me lifting 250lb, and one of me. Take care, keep lifting big weights!!!

. . . Thank you for your compliments, you look very nice also. I will keep up to date on your site. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I wanted to know any technique that makes lifting large bench press moves easier, cos they seem so hard.

. . . I was just reading your website, and noticed you did tennis and long distance running. I also used to do middle distance running hehe, I used to weigh 133 pounds at over 6ft!!! I was never any good at tennis though cos of an old injury to my left hand.

. . .  keep up the hard work:)

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply and listen to my music, Here are some more songs for u.  Here is some more music for u. . .

. . .Well keep looking gorgeous, and keep up the good work encouraging kids to stay off drugs, and helping people get very strong, I still read from your website. . .

. . . Take care!! Keep looking gorgeous.

Kathy,

. . . Our teamness I believe came through clearly and genuinely. It was a good show. High energy! Useful content! useful examples and stories. Easy give and take. Sincere. Just like it should have been and was planned. I enjoyed working with you and figure there will be ways to make that happen more.

Best regards and do have a wonderful day!!!

Jim Meier

Hey!

We caught you interview (a little late to call in but were able to listen to it).  I had hoped to get home
in time to call in.  I had my question all ready and no one asked it.  It was, "What part does God play in your motivation as an athlete" and my second choice would have been, "How do we safeguard our kids from wanting to use steroids"

It was really good and you sounded great.

Congratulations!

Bobby and Val
Kathy,
 
Great job on Championship Thinking yesterday.  Stay in touch.  I am putting together some new training/sports shows . . .

That's an awesome bench (raw) especially. I have a friend of mine who does powerlifting at the high school level who I am trying to train to increase her totals. She is an amazing lifter and I am having her check out your
website cause she has already outdone most of the people in her class as a freshman so I am praying for her this year, I think if she reads your stuff she'll be amazed as well. once again amazing bench, I'll keep an eye out for
your new competition lifts. Have a good day.

J.
----------------------------------------------------
. . .we actually got to talk to them about how in our sport drugs was not the way to go , and reading about your programs and school visits is amazing that an adult is out there with pure skills and talent talking to them so that you can show them what it is really like. I'm sorry this is kind of long winded but I am still amazed by your resume and stacked up rankings. Well thanks again for the info and your inspiration look forward to reading more about you.

Respectfully, J.

Dear Kathy,

 

Hi! My name is Jillian D. and I am a lifter at the University of Texas in Austin, I lifted all four years in High School but only competed/placed to the State level. I think it is great what you do, it is good to finally know that there is someone advocating against drug use because for so long the stereotype hung about lifters that where good doing steroids, and thus not reaching their own potential based on determination and will power. The whole girls have to look like Barbies and that girls have no strength is way over-rated. I used to get hassled cause I lifted equal with some of the boys from my school and I worked at that instead of my image and dress. You are an amazing lifter, I was awed by your record and your continuous streak of taking over the competition. I hope to someday rank high enough to break records my self, you are an inspiration and I hope that others will read your message and stay on top and take the high road to possibly be as successful as you.

 

In admiration, Jillian

Hi Kathy,

. . . I am very glad that the world will get to hear your strong soul on the radio. Hopefully you will alter some individuals paths by making them see in a different way upon themselves and their surroundings After they heard how your motivation sculptured your life into a true success story, maybe not in the eyes of men but in the eyes of God and other strong people who appreciate you for the one you are Kathy, and not for what you can do for them.

. . .A strong human can never be fooled into a unhealthy lifestyle (be it overeating, anorexia, drug abuse or political madness as Nazism, or abusive actions against women or children). It can´t be done by a person who have seen the light and understand the beauty of life.

Hi Kathy.

How are u?  Like I told u in class the other time I enjoyed looking into your website, it's neat.  You should tell people about it though more often. . .

S.

Hi Kathy

I feel as though I know you already because my daughter rang me and gave me the website and I did that immediately and saved it on my favorite.  I also emailed it to several of my friends and told them to save your website as favorite also. . . . I have spoken to both Neil and Lee-Anne about the pictures as Lee-Anne was so excited.    Anyway, as a motivational speaker I hope that Lee-Anne capitalize on the occasions where she meets a prominent person such as yourself. . . . Well, thanks for everything and feel free to chat with her and guide some of her thoughts about 'competition and the struggle to be successful in all your endeavours'

Until . . .

Kathy,

Thank you for sending me the information & congratulations on so many successes. . .

. . .I was very inspired by your web site and I think the students here at the school will both benefit from and enjoy listening to your message of encouragement.  I have spoken with the school Administration here and my Police Captain and they think it is a great idea for you to present to the school. . . .Thank you for all you do!

Hi Kathy,
 
Thanks for the nice comments about the pic, yes its me. It would be great to have a small blurb about you and your site with a link. I would also like to feature you as a feature athlete which would be on our main screen for one month and then stay in the athlete section as inspiration. I believe you are in a beautiful position to shine to others with your amazing accomplishments and huge heart.  . . .
 
I read your interview questions and was very taken back by your honesty and compassionate passion for lifting others up around you. . .  I am sure our viewers will be inspired by you, especially with your incredibly humble approach of being a super role model . . .

. . . I believe you are an incredible method of backup and credibility to the kids staying away from drugs. If that sounds ok with you, i think its great for the kids. I believe with your accomplishments its hard for the kids not to listen. I need more people standing with me on this message. . .

Dear Kathy,

Hi Kathy,

.  .  . In the beginning, I want to tell you that now I understand why you are good at motivating someone. You are wonderful and I love to read your emails.  They always touch my heart and it makes me feel really good and confident. . .

Also i will like to thank you for your effort and time which you put to explain me this. I know  you are busy so that's why it means even more to me.

Kathy,


. . . Anyway, I LOVE your website.  You got me totally motivated to go to the gym and workout.  I've become religious about it.  I get so mad when I have to skip a day!  Not only have I lost some weight and gained some muscle tone, my mood and energy level are much improved.  I've re-discovered a love for running and have developed a neat little weight routine.  . . .

I miss going to Donna's class!  We had some truly great discussions.  It was a lot of fun to be in a class with truly motivated students who had so much to contribute.

Send me an email if you have some time and let me know how things are going.  Again, love the website!

Ashley, USA (Ashley is my very intelligent classmate)

Dear Ms. Roberts:

. . . We enjoyed the pictures taken and your excellent website.  It certainly helps spread the tennis news of our players as well as promote your powerful testimony. Thank you kindly.  Thank you also for the words of encouragement for Jewel.  I shared your message with her.

Keep up the good work.  You are doing great things for young people and are much appreciated.  I trust we will meet again soon and wish you well in your ministry to young people. 

Sincerely,

I commend you on your work...you are indeed very special!

Hi Kathy,

. . . I can see where tennis is a lot more demanding physically. I think it's great that you are so athletic. . .

Sounds like you have been very busy too. Do you ever sleep? I don't know how you do all you do, keep up your website, make videos, do appearances, and everything else you do. You are definitely one amazing lady, but then I already knew that.

So you might get back into tennis? Kathy I think that's great if you do because you look and it sounds like your really good at it. Plus like you said it's a lot more rewarding than powerlifting. Besides like you said, you can still powerlift too. I hope you do though because I want to see you continue setting records and besides your also my inspiration and mentor. I still want us to get together sometime so we can meet and visit even though I feel I already know you. Your very easy to talk too and you have motivated me with your positive attitude and knowledge. But most of all because your not afraid to praise God and you tell it like it is. You know what you want and your not afraid to go after it. You put over 100% in everything you do and you have encouraged me to believe in myself and that if I work hard and don't give up it will come.

USA

I am a police officer . . . and was starting to powerlift last year and it made me feel incredibly good!!!  I got sidetracked after my lifting partner, who introduced me to the sport, changed shifts and left me to lift by myself.  Needless to say, I stopped lifting and lost all that I gained and have started back to lift myself.  Do you have any suggestions on how to lift without a partner and still make gains?  I know you must be busy but I read your website and have nothing but props for you...awesome stuff!!!  Again, if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it but if you are too busy I understand, thanks again.

Thanks Kathy!

Keep doing what you do, your the best. Tennis sounds wonderful! You will truimph when you have found your own style on the court.

YOU are A true spiritual person, I can only connect with people like you. Protect what you have been given and develop yourself with pride and care.

Continue to Praise the Lord and do not follow the weak crowd ...

I hope this letter reaches you in the best of health, and from the photos from the school you visited ”You sparkle with energy”. The children couldn’t have encountered a better role model and strong individual. They are truly blessed.

So strong and righteous friend of mine, best Kathy. I pray for you and your journey each day! You show them true star quality day in and day out. You have your place right beside The Lord, because you are faithful and unafraid, and YOU are chosen to do great things on earth and in your afterlife.

Stay the way you are, implying getting better and better each day! The Kathy Roberts way, true achievements takes time and the true leaders are not built in one day!

I understand you live and breathe it every day. You will be stronger and stronger for each day. I hear that you have grown much stronger and more mature since we last spoke. I am so glad for you making that progress. It strengthens me to know that you are well and doing so much for yourself, building a stronger Kathy in order to make even greater actions in the future.

You inspire me on all levels Kathy.

Strength and commitment foster excellence!

Hi Kathy,

First, I want to thank God for leading me to your website.  Second, congratulations on all your accomplishments and your service to our Lord.  It was inspiring to read about a local Christian woman powerlifter who has  accomplished so much in the sport and in the community.

I am so impressed and intimidated when I look at what you have accomplished.

Hi Kathy,

Thank you so much for your help.

I've seen your web site, it's incredible all the things you do !

As we say in French, "bravo pour tot ce que vous faites" ..that means "all the things you're doing is wonderful"!!

Patrice, Writer, France

Dear Kathy,
 
Congratulations on such great achievements without resorting to steroid use. It is no small thing to compete in a strength sport drug free. ( especially in the U.S.A. ) Reading about your back injury and the long lay-off you've had with physiotherapy type treatment. . .

. . . I hope you recover 100% and continue to inspire others.

P.S. You look genuinely strong in your photo's!

Kathy,

I thank you for the plug on your website -- commend you on your work, accomplishment, your physique, your positive attitude,  and so forth. You're a rare good -great person. IF you'd like a little friendly encouragement from a long-timer who has seen and done it all, keep going up and set the records higher.  Make them take more notice.

. . . I'd like to meet you some day as would Kathy and Buzz's powerteam.

Anything we can do Buzz's team or me, let us know.

God Bless You,

Wow you're website is awesome how did you lift that?! Jeez, it must have taken, a lot of dedication to reach that level, huh? I'm sending links to all my 
friends ok.

Natasha

WOW!

I am VERY IMPRESSED!  I guess you really don't ever know who you're talking to!

Most impressive of all though is your ability to remain humble with all that you've done.....

I think you have a fantastic website...
Again I am very impressed with your site, and would love to have you as a strategic link partner.
I look forward to hearing from you soon & keep up the great work...

Kathy,

. . . Kathy you are too awesome!!!! Your website is the best I've ever seen and I enjoy going in and reading the new info. you put on.  Are you doing any meets in the near future?

Buzz says you need to get out there and let the WORLD see you and give them something to remember. A drug free lifter like you who lifts like you can is phenomenal.  You sure have my respect and I tell people about you all the time.  They think it's awesome. . .

Kathy,

. . . Seriously, I am truly at a loss for words!!!    Most men walking around (including me) would never have a bod like you are strutting around.   I was truly amazed at all the positions you ranked in over the years.   Trust me, you will be down with me any day.   How long have you been body building?    Girl, you are a beast!!!!!

hi, my name is Matt and I'm into weight lifting. I live in Milwaukee, OR and cant find any powerlifting competitions around here. I've sent e-mails out to a few other people with no responses. My stats are, weight-155, 1 rep bench-275, squat-315"weak", powerclean-185"weak". However my bench is fairly decent and last year when I was 15, I benched 275 at 148lbs. Which was as far as I could find, a record. I really love to lift weights and don't take steroids, but I just can't find anything around Oregon. I've spent at least 10 hours looking straight for competitions, and nothing. It would be GREATLY appreciated if you could help me and not ignore this, thank you for you time.

-Matt

Ms. Roberts:

I'm sorry it has taken us so long to thank you for the things you sent my weightlifting team. We have been away for the thanksgiving holiday, and I just checked all my emails. I had over 200 emails when I returned. But I appreciate you, doing that. I'm going to give the book to Sharhonda Bell. She's the team leader, but sometimes is playful. But she works hard! I think what you are doing with youth in VA is outstanding. I've always been taught, to listen to the coach, that seems to know or has confidence in what he's doing or talking about. My youth have great goals. Some her goals came up short, because she wouldn't listen. The results will take their toll on if you disagree with the coach to a point where you won't listen at times. I've been in strength training for 8 years now, and I've managed to do some things here. But kids have it their minds that they are right until proven wrong. But those are the hardest lessons to learn.

I admire you and your work. I think that powerlifting is coming back to life on the east coast. I know you're very busy and all but could you tell me more about your successes and goals. What is your ultimate deadlift goal? Total? And what do your friends say about you? I ask a lot of questions. Again thank you for the pens and key chains. We are going to link your website to ours. Again thank you for being who you are.

Shelton Harrison

Hello Kathy,

I found your site by searching for powerlifting articles, because I been doing some powerlifting for about 1yr. but weight lifting for 10yrs. I've been doing pretty good with it, just trying to up my poundage on my deadlift which is 605lbs at 220lbs which was my personal best . . .

 Thanks

Keith Nicholson

Hello Kathy,

I need to know the total price for the video, and your mailing address again because I lost that info some how. Kathy do you really think I could get my deadlift up to 700lbs. drug free, and age 35. The only thing I've
ever used is protein, creatine, glutamine, GLC 2000 joint supplement. . .

 Kathy do you think I should change my deadlifting style, because I've deadlift conventional for the last 8
months, and I think I would be better if I pulled Sumo. Thanks

Keith Love

Hi Kathy

My name is Rachel, I am a 22 year old female. I am 5'7, and i weigh around 145. I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers in how to start a strength training routine. I am a former Marine, and I am not afraid to get dirty or gain muscle mass. I would really like to put on some muscle mass, I am in pretty good shape already, but none of the women in the gym know a lot about bulking up. So I am turning to you for some help, if you can provide it. It would be greatly appreciated. I really respect the fact that you are a drug-free athlete. It shows a great deal about who you are. Do you take any supplements? Are they worth the money? Anyways, I hope to hear back from you. Good luck in all you do. . .

  . . . Thank you so much for taking the time to write me back. It means so much to me, I know that you are a very busy lady. I have always been really active in sports. Being in the Marines helped me out a lot too, I learned as long as I could my mind in the right place, there is nothing I couldn't do.

     I spend 3 days out of the week doing some cardio work. I do weight training at least 4x. I am really big into free weights, the machines get on my nerves too much. People tend to always be using them anyways, so I head for the free weights. . .

You have a fan in New York..
~Rachel

Hi Kathy,

Recently I read your article for power lifting... and noticed a number of your phrases and actions are very similar to FCA.  Didn't know if you had heard of what we do in the schools and with athletes, but I wanted to share it with you.  Maybe we could talk for a few minutes. . .

Could we talk about maybe doing something together?  Let me know what you think.

Take care,

Chris

Kathy,

I  just wanted to express to you how very much I liked your article about steroid abuse, and how much I agree with everything you said. Thank you for speaking up on this topic, people like you are so very much needed! When I saw your website and found out about your accomplishments, I felt truly motivated, because I'm also a dedicated powerlifter, and very determined to stay drug free. There is no other option in my opinion. Good luck, and thanks again!

Mary Douglass

What you are giving back to the community is priceless!  I am so glad that I can be part of it.  I'm sure the kids enjoyed meeting you and listening to all the very important messages you delivered.  They may not totally understand yet, but eventually they will remember your words!  Keep up the
good work!

Debbie
Hello, 

My name is La Shundra  Carter and I live in the Tidewater Area.. I do lift at Ballys, but I do not really lift, but to stay in shape. People say that I am strong for my size. I was interested in possibly competing in a powerlifting competition just to see where I am. I wanted to know if you could give me some dates as to when and where competitions may be in the area anywhere from Va. Beach to DC. I looked on some of your sites and I really did not see a schedule. I could have overlooked it.  

L. Carter

Hi Kathy,

It was a great, great pleasure to meet you last weekend at Charlottesville.  This is Floyd, the old guy who nearly fell out during an attempt at a 425 squat.  If Nick hadn't caught me, I don't know what


would have happened, because I was not going to let go of the bar.  My hope is to squat 500 at the Masters Nationals in Baton Rouge this coming May.  I know that is a big jump, but I am going to be working hard.  I also had plans for a 600 dead lift, but I think that is just too big of a jump.  It's the same with the bench press; I had hoped for a 400 lift in May, but I think that will be too much.  I still plan to work my butt off from now to then.  It would be great if I trained with others, but I just train alone at the NC State University gym.  I think that I am the only guy training as a power lifter.  . .

Your website is marvelous!  It's the kind of website that I can spend all day reading.  I just hope that you are able to recover from your injury so that you can return to power lifting.  It was gratifying to look at your pictures and read about your accomplishments.  I also was inspired by your intensity  and determination.  You don't play!  What a woman!

Take care.

Floyd

Hi Chanda, I mean Kathy!!

Just wanted to say Hi & let you know that, even though we have fallen out of touch, which is all my fault, you still and always occupy a special place in my heart. :-))) I will never forget how you took the time to visit me at my house!
. . .

Take care of yourself, Kathy!

Your friend always,

 Martha
I am interested in information on rehab and if you can help I would appreciate it.. My daughter Gayle is a high school power lifter in Wisconsin. 3 weeks ago she tore her ACL and has not been able to compete. She missed the state meet and national high school meet this next weekend. Before the injury she was squatting 270 and looking for a 300 Total this year. She also deadlifts 245 and benches 115. I might tell you that she is 4'9" tall and weighs 105. She did go to the state meet to cheer on her team and watched as no one broke her state record of 250 squat from last year. If there are any good articles or books or even web sites that you could recommend so she will be able to compete her senior year I would appreciate your impute.. 

Thanks for your time.

Hello Kathy

I am Mike, wow you are very strong (bench press 265lbs) my best bench press 230lbs.

Dear Kathy Roberts:

I saw your website and am writing for more details about personal training. I may have missed it but I didn't see where you are located. I'm in LA and am looking for help in getting into good shape for a photo shoot that is a little more than three weeks away. I'm not sure if you can assist in achieving fast results but please do reply if you are in the LA area.

Sincerely,

K. Crenshaw

I saw your website on line while doing a search and I saw that you take emailed questions. Is this true? I do have a couple questions.

I just got married 6 months ago and between that and getting out of high school I and my husband have gained 20 lbs in 2 years. I have an inner tube around the mid section and I am getting bigger but and thighs. I need help

I have gone to 3 personal trainers and they all say different things, and nothing they have said has worked and so I wanted to ask someone who works with someone that I see results--like a singer or actor. I see that you have worked with some and I just want to know what to do to loose weight and get from a size 11-13 back to fit in all my clothes size 3-5

If you can just give me some pointers. I don't even now where to start in the gym cause I have so many different people saying different things, do cardio in the morning, at night, don't eat carbs, do eat carbs whatever the myth maybe

I really need help

My brother did steroids in high school and college, he went VT on a scholar ship. My brother said you were excepted to juice, but never told to do it. He quit playing football to marry his wife. I told him

then he was not marrying a Christian woman and that she would do this. If she really loved him she would wait to marry after he got out of school.

How long do steroids stay in your system that's has been 8 years.

Hi how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I think you are incredibly strong. I have always loved power lifting. I am interested in competing in the APF, I am competing in the USPL and will attempt to hit

the VA bench record in July, but I would like to go on and compete in the WPO. What part of Virginia are you from? Where can I find out about meets in Virginia in the APF?

 Thanks, and stay strong

Jeff

Dear Ms. Roberts:  

I came across a profile of you on the web.   You seem to be an inspiration to many. You have proven what hard work and dedication can achieve.   You have every reason to be proud. Keep up the good work.   My name is Donald.   Perhaps you will consider saying hello. Whether you choose to or not, I wish you continued success.

My name is Ahmad  Hill  I  attend Memorial High School  in Port Arthur Texas  I'm a senor powerlifter  in the 114's  my  best squat was 375, my best  bench was 215 , my best dead lift was 385.     My name is Keith I want to start a drug free strongman group in my home town of Edmonton but am getting a lot of adversity from the current strongman group not wanting me to start up. How were those strongman competitions you ran set up? Could you help me out with any advice? Also would love to feature you on my site if you could send me some picks.

Thanks

Hey Kathy,

Thanks so much for helping me out and guiding me to answering and seeking hope in success. I greatly enjoyed checking out your website also. It's interesting. I didn't know that you've really experienced all of that. It makes you a great ideal idol for me to look up to. Keep up your motivations and stay in touch with me. I appreciate the site you've given me for local events, and I will definitely look into the temp agencies. Well I hope that you will enjoy this holiday weekend, and will see you in about 2 weeks.

Well I wanted to let you know I got your tape and I watched it with my son who trains with my brother and I and my daughter who wanted to see "The woman who calls me". Great tape but guess what, you stole my back routine. Keith and I have always stuck to the basics and have had great results. The secret, as you state in your video, is not the newest or most complex training methods, but simple basic training married with FOCUS!!!! The people that I work with have always wondered how can a non-degreed person have progressed so far with a world leading manufacturing company. Well guess what, the secret is FOCUS, MOTIVATION, SELF CONFIDENCE and DETERMINATION!!! I believe that you and I both have all of these attributes and more because I can see it in the way you carried yourself in the tape. So, Stay FOCUSED and keep your eye on the Prize. The only person who can stop you is .... guess who? YOU!!!!!! Keep the faith and GET STRONG!!!!

INSPIRATIONAL AND LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES by Others

Shalom! You are most welcome my sister Kathy and Princess in Christ Jesus; that's what true Christian friends are for, AMEN!

Remain blessed and beautiful to be a blessing to others too, all the days of your life here on earth, Amen!

WOW! We share something in common Princess Kathy. I used to own my own body-building gymnasium many years ago (when I was just 18 years of age). I've lost so much weight though now; well over 4 stone! I was an expert in many Martial Arts disciplines and was once six-best at Karate in Europe (all styles). I do not practice it now neither do I associate myself or would want anyone to get involved in Martial Arts because it is PURE EVIL and very DEMONIC!!

I am also an ex-Paratrooper who served in Her Majesty's Elite Fighting Forces but my Testimony was at the age of 11 and for well over 25 years I was heavily involved in Football violence and I abused my Martial Arts. I used to run two FIRMS (I was The Daddy), who caused so much mayhem and violence all over Great Britain. I used to have 600 fully-grown men (body-builders and experts at fighting), under my complete control; they would do anything for me at the click of my fingers. I was once the most wanted football hooligan in all the world and on the run from every police force on planet earth. But glory be to God He called me in in November 1993 specifically for His end-time ministry as an Evangelist. I boast in Christ and not in myself: "MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN!"

At 3:00 am and 5:00 on a freezing cold November morning I was visited in a unique and divine way! My Testimony is like or similar to Apostle Paul's mixed with Nicky Cruz and all the other bad boys in the hood who's lives were messed up. But God took that mess and turned it around into a Message for His glory! Thank You King Jesus for your love, mercy and grace, AMEN!

I will visit your websites Princess Kathy; I would very much like us to be friends at this network, okay!

Love from your brother and friend in Christ from across the seas in a 'little POND' that has a few ducks in it, a place they call England!!!!!!!!!

From Evangelist Daniele xxx

Shalom! My precious sister Kathy and Princess in Christ Jesus, than you kindly for your lovely comments and encouraging words, AMEN! Yes, no-one, I repeat no-one is exempt from Temptation; that's why we must resist the devil on a daily basis in order for him to flee away from us because that dirty dog, that wounded roaring lion is always watching and waiting for a chance to steal us away from God!

Love that statement : "GRAB THE BULL BY IT'S HORNS.....AMEN, PRINCESS!!

I once beat the World's strongest arm-wrestler in three matches at a very large exhibition here in Luton, London, ENGLAND; he couldn't believe it and then he asked me what I did for a living.....well Princess the ground could have swallowed him up when I told him I was a PREACHER of God's infallible Living Word, and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, PRAISE THE LORD, AMEN!!!!!!!!

I told him all the muscles in the world don't make a man; having a personal, daily living, loving relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ makes you a very good man, AMEN!

You do not look very tall Kathy that's why your such a powerhouse for God and a World Beater in Weight-Lifting, AMEN! Small things come in big and beautiful packages, AMEN!

I forgot to mention that I am a fully Qualified Advanced Weight-Training Instructor and a LIFE MEMBER OF N.A.B.B.A. I hope to get the time today and really relax and go into all your websites and enjoy the readings and Testimonies; etc; etc.... Yes please do Kathy; if you want to use some or part or all of my Testimony you have my permission. Thanks kindly woman of God, AMEN!

My wife MOJI and I hope to have our Testimony uploaded here at . . .; it's approximately 20 minutes in length and it was previously shown all around the world on Miracle Crusade Network (a Norwegian Christian TV company), and filmed by the award-winning TANDEM TV Christian TV company here in Luton, England.

My wife Moji is the beautiful Nigerian, International award-winning (AFENT AWARD for best Female Gospel Singer in London on Valentines Day in 1992), and Prophetess.

God bless you this day and everyday my precious sister and Princess in Christ Jesus, and thanks for being my friend and brother, AMEN!

Love and blessings to you ad your family. Keep in touch!

Daniele & Moji x

God is awesome my precious Princess Kathy. Praise the LORD! I spent many hours looking at your website today by the grace of God. My word you have put in some thousands of hours in training for some years now, eh, Princess??

I do love your smile, you
