Lost 100 pounds...looking to try a figure/physique competition!

Hi!

My name is Mary. My weight loss journey started in 2013 and I've lost 100 pounds. I've managed to keep most of it off for the last two years. I am currently at 166 and I have taken on the challenge of trying a figure/physique competition within the next year. I have hired a trainer and am on my way. I have a long way to go but I am confident in my ability to work hard! (It's the food that's going to be the challenging part LOL).

I am hoping to meet like-minded people here, as well as people who may have competed already. I would love to learn from your experiences. I am a firm believer in "no judgement" when it comes to weight...everyone has their own struggles and goals and we need to encourage each other, not be condescending and negative.

I wish everyone the best on their journey to being a better and healthier You!

I lost 75 pounds and have done two bodybuilding competitions. For the categories you are wanting to compete in having enough muscle is very important. If you have lifted for a year or two you might have enough to compete within the next year. I'm sure your trainer will set you up to do well on stage.
