I was on MFP for a long time tracking my food and eventually got rid of it but didn't stop tracking - from May 2013 to January 2015 I had become a heavy weightlifter, lost about 10-15 lbs give or take, but couldn't seem to drop the last 10. I started to set my sights on possibly competing.

When I first visited with the competition promoter back in November 2014 he encouraged me to do FIGURE instead of Bikini division because he said my legs were too muscular for bikini. I listened - registered for figure and realized by January that I was not going to be able to build my upper body that quickly to compete in figure. I decided to completely back out.

I did, however, continue to cut, because I've always wanted to be really lean. These photos are 13 weeks into my cut.

I sent the promoter my pics and he said he will definitely switch me to bikini division to compete May 16, so approximately 4.5 more weeks to go!

    I find nothing wrong with your before picture because you really look great in both pics. I prefer a lean look as well.... Any who. You worked hard and it shows. Great job.
