Calling all Fitness Competitors/ Body Builders!

lauractemple85

I need your stories today. How long did it take you to become "stage ready?". Where was your body when you started your journey (overweight, toned, thin...)?

I'm asking because I decided in Feb of this year that I would being prepping for my first NPC Bikini Competition, target date is at the end of October. And although I've made progress, I feel in my heart that my body won't be stage ready by then. I've heard it take 6 months to a year for first timers. I'm allowing myself 9 months.

I know it takes TIME to change your body; and patience with the process is not one of my strong-suits.
