    This is the perfect way of stating it. Even if its not your kettle of fish.

    No one will ever be perfect for everyone else in some way but this reply shows class in terms of being respectful and getting a point across - even if there was no mention of Yo's legs, it is termed in such a way that does not in any way put her achievement down or the way she looks.

    Thank you.

    Congrats to you both, but she does not look happy. Like you can see it in her face & eyes that she just does not look like she enjoys it or something.

    But damn after only 5kg.

    Are you actually genuinely insane? What a pile of doodoo. You can tell this from a singular photo?

    This is why I rarely use MFP these days! A bunch of angry women, mad at the world, casting ill thought out comments about people who look different to them to bringr them down.

    This is HER dream that she's wanted to achieve for years and years. She now has the chance to go pro, to get paid to do this for her living and get paid to do a sport she is in love with.

    You can't make someone bodybuild. The inference from your statement is actually truly shocking. A real insult.

    She looks like she does because not only did she win her category, she she won't the entire women's side of the show in her first ever competition - this is a feat that nearly no one ever does. Its huge - she's trying not to cry with sheer emotion and unbridled happiness.

    My Fitness Pal? Far far from it, based on some comments from you ladies here. My Jealous Frenemy more like.


    HUH? When did I get angry or nasty? Did I not say congrats nice enough or something? Are you the insane one? Really, you go right off at one freaking comment & then have the nerve to call me angry? I think perhaps YOU should calm down. Bloody hell.


    Plus where on earth did I say anything about her being different to me & hating that? Point that out & then apologize thanks.

    Congrats Yo :drinker: - the transformation in such a short space of time is truly amazing. I don't think I would ever have the dedication to do that in so few months. I am truly truly impressed.

    Hitting your goal to compete is one thing - winning the entire womens competition, that's freaking AWESOME :flowerforyou:

    You truly are incredible. I can't believe anything you say anymore shocks me.

    This is simply not something you do unless you don't absolutely want to. Its months of prep - training, food prep, early mornings and late nights fitting around your normal schedule and just plain hard work. If you aren't totally committed, you just won't succeed, especially not at the level Yo is. You don't just show up and wing it, you don't just walk through the motions.

    Congrats to Yo. She looks fantastic.

    Yup, you said congrats, then followed it with a "but" and a pretty huge insult. I hardly think that counts as nice.
    I don't recall him calling you angry. The angry part was about MFP in general.

    I hardly think he owes you an apology. Matt takes loads of criticisms from people like you, with nothing better to do than to come into a success thread and start picking it apart. He is always patient and respectful in his responses.

    I hope that one day you find some way to put together the pieces of whatever it is that makes you so negative and resentful of others on here.

    Just caught my typo - too late to edit.
    Obviously meant - This is simply not something you do unless you absolutely want to.

    Really, if you're coming here just to comment how it's not for you and blahblahblah, just hop off Matt's **** and go elsewhere. Seriously, it is ridiculous. Matt and Yo present themselves here for everybody to learn from and sure, you may not want to cut down to the point they do, but they are still valuable assets to the community with knowledge and experience far greater than most.

    Big congrats to Yo.

    PS. I think the tan is hilarious :)

    Did you ever think that maybe she might have been a bit tired after a long day? Seriously...what is wrong with you?

    People like me? Sorry but where did I pick ANYTHING apart. I think you people are reading a different post or something because I've not picked anything apart or been angry. In fact it's quite the opposite. Far out, some people need to calm the hell down & read what I wrote rather than assuming what I said. I did say congrats didn't I? If that was picking it apart then bloody hell everyone else did as well.


    I think some of you need some serious help. Not me.

    Man that's just unreal in that time frame! Congrats to Yo for such an intense amount of work, and the dedication it takes to make it happen, and congrats to you for all the work and time put in to help make it happen. You both whoop lots of *kitten*!

    But damn after only 5kg.

    Instead of that you could have just said "Congratulations girl..what an achievement!! Why arent you smiling ?? "
    People react differently when they achieve something so huge..some cry,some freeze..some get confused.What are you a psychic?

    Have to say totally not my thing but bloody well done Yo!
    Even a newbie like me can see just by looking at the photos just how much hard work, dedication and effort has gone into that body and personally I feel anyone with that kind of determination deserves success so you go girl, have the life of your dreams and don't look back :)

    So then explain to me where the hell in that it was nasty, angry, picking anything apart or just plain mean. Seriously....show me. Cause all I see is someone NOT smiling..... bloody hell that was all. I didn't ever say she was not happy, all I said was she didnt LOOK happy.


    All I can see is a whole heap of people being nasty over something I never said.

    I don't know if someone has asked this before - but what was her diet like leading up to the competition?
    I've just started seriously considering cleaning up my diet as I embark on weight training (want abs like that!) but there's too much conflicting information out there.
    Would be nice to hear from someone who got fantastic results.
    Please?

    Matt, I think you may have posted this elsewhere before but would you mind sharing how many calories Yo is eating each day and her macro split? Ii have seen some of your training videos so was wondering about her diet too. Thanks!

    All I can see is a whole heap of people being nasty over something I never said.

    Real simple: when you say "Congrats" and then follow that up with "BUT....." and it doesn't matter what comes after the BUT, it is always something nasty. Like "Congrats, but I wouldn't want to look like that!" or "Congrats, but she doesn't look happy" or "Congrats, but your mama's a _____" Those are not nice things to say. If you truly want to congratulate them, you just say "Congrats!" and keep the rest of the BS to yourself. However, if you're looking to be a bish, you do it the way you did. "CONGRATS, BUT...."

    Why people don't get this is beyond me. I can't imagine going into someone's success thread and saying anything but pleasant and congratulatory things.

    I think I congratulated Matt and Yo earlier, but once again, CONGRATULATIONS to you both! Big congrats to Yo, she's the one who did all the hard work, but congratulations to Matt as well--nice training! :flowerforyou: :drinker:
