(KUTV) At 52 years old, Melanie Youngchild is physically doing things she never could have imagined.
But it didn't come without a lot of hard work and a tragic experience that served as a wake up call.
Youngchild has an enthusiasm for life and a love for the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. But she hasn't always felt that way.
She once weighed 278 pounds and wore size 26 pants.
"I just didn't want to live like that anymore," Youngchild said.
So she went to a place she had never been before--the gym.
