Anyone watch it last night? I am impressed by her dedication but without wanting to appear negative, I think she could have eaten more and got better results, seemed like she over trained without eating enough. She wasn't really that big but she does look great.
anyway would love to discuss!

    She looks terrible, her implants stick out so bad now that she has a muscly chest.
    She looked alot better before.

    i think she looks awful as a body builder, am all up for toned and muscle definition, but think she took it too far, and once again i think it was done all for attention.... just like her tv prog to get a hubby.
    got her in all of the papers and another tv deal eh??
    but hey, if shes happy..... x

    I watched some of it, and was impressed with how far she got in such a short period of time, but then 8 hours a day workout over 8 weeks is ok when you have no real "job" as such - but still, impressive none the less. Although, she really shouldnt smile so much, its quite scary :)

    I was very intrested to watch this programme but didn't. Although I will get round to it. From what I have read though, I agree that she could have eaten a bit better and still had the same results, but also from what I have seen of the body building world its pretty hardcore the things they do especially before competitions!

    I believe (from a radio interview) that she was training for 3 years prior to that program;

    They also wanted her to have more bodyfat so for two weeks before the program was filmed she pigged out on pizza and other 'junk' type foods.

    There was a lot of rubbish / not required 'broscience' going on in it such as the 17 meals thing and the 8-9 hours spent in the gym!

    I believe she is now being trained by someone different.

    The vegetarian side of her lifestyle also makes it difficult... hence the amount of protein shakes she had to take.

    Overall I think she has done very well and trained very hard, they don't give out trophies for turning up to a comp!

    I actually think she is a really nice, down to earth woman. The work she is doing re: internet bullying is fantastic. Fine, her competition look may not be what many people want, but when not flexing and with a little more body fat on her she looks great I think.


    Lets not start pulling someone apart because of how they look again, please.

    I was really surprised!
    I'm not a fan of her, to be honest never watched any reality TV so didn't know much about her except that she was glamour model with giant implants.

    But I did find the program quite interesting, she really pushed herself and what she achieved was very impressive. If you looked at her when she wasn't painted brown and tensing everything, she really looked quite impressive. Her stomach was amazing! She obviously was slim fit and toned before the programme started, but she did change her body quite a lot through the programme.

    I know there are a lot of negative things to say, she should have eaten more, but body builders aim for very low body fat or you can't see the striations in the muscles. I don't think the extreme competitions are an advert for health, but I thought she was very impressive.

    (Just my two cents, i'm not body builder or personal trainer) ;-) x

    yeah I thought the 17 meals thing was kind of crazy. Her abs/lower back is great but arms pretty small. I hope she keeps going with it and gets bigger!!!!
    I will be really stoked if I make the same progress on LiveFit!

    I'm sorry but I find it hard to understand why anyone would want to look like that... I suppose I'm the freak on here...

    No I'm with you. It's not attractive.

    was't really interested in whether people like the look or not, more interested from a bodybuilding perspective, re diet, programme etc. If you are not into bodybuilding you might not like it but that wasn't the bit I wanted to discuss.

    It's not attractive TO YOU. It may well be attractive to other people. Jut like some people very like thin or very overweight partners. Our differing tastes are what make us individuals, after all.

    I think it's purely an aesthetic thing for me... I agree people should be able to look however they like... but it's a sort of creation... and as some do not appreciate the works of Rothko, I do not appreciate the works of body sculpting... nuff said.

    Don't you think I know that? Your reply was pointless & petty.

    Equally, do you actually think everyone wants to know you find it attractive?

    It boils my pee when people say its not attractive - cutting for a competition isn't about being attractive - its about getting to a level of body fat to show muscle definition. Nothing more, nothing less. That look is achieved by most for a day or so a year. The rest of the time they will hold much more water and body fat.

    Would you be happy going into work and commenting that you don't look attractive? Esp when it has no bearing on what you are doing? Same applies here.

    It simply isn't about looking attractive!

    Ah, the irony.
