Hey there! I'm a 38 year old mother of 4 aspiring to enter into my first figure competition this year! Im playing around with different methods of diet and weight training......learning as I research! My husband and I are teaming up to take on this challenge......I have his 100% support!
I would love to join up with other women who are on the same journey for support as well as sharing tips, etc..... :)

    Hello, I did my first bikini show in August '12, and am doing my first figure show in less than a week! (April 6th). I plan on going back and forth between the two depending on which state I am competing in. On April 27th I have another bikini show. Love competitor friends on MFP!

    Welcome to the group! I'm a figure competitor as well. Competed three times last year. I have 3 more shows this spring, starting with my first one of the year this Saturday. If you have questions, let me know, but I primarily work with a coach/training team.
  • Hi I am new to this as well! I am hoping to compete later this year. I just started working with a coach...but figured this would help me be accountable. Trying to do a plan for the day based on her suggestions. Anyone in the Chicago area? I am looking for a competition to go see in May for some inspiration. Hope everyone is having a great Monday! -Elese
