I started lifting weights last year and decided to compete in my first figure competition this year. Anyone else on this mission for 2014?

    I'm looking at doing one in 2015 and am really intimidated about where to start. Would love any advice/encouragement/friends!

    I just made the decision last month- Im cranky with the food adjustment, but am so dedicated im finding it easy to follow my diet- now getting the right balance of cardio/weights is tricky. Add me :) I need more like-minded friends

    I have considered competing. I have a friend who does and she is very inspiring. I definitely train like I'm preparing for a competition. I have a lot of body fat to lose before I would even go near a stage. I'm currently working on that and improving my body composition. I would love to have friends who are of that mindset. :smile:

    Hi all! I would love to do a figure competition towards the end of the year. Swapping food plans, exercises would be awesome. I'm still new to weights but I do enjoy lifting. I use to have a huge fear of getting bulking like a She-Hulk LOL. Now I realize I can look slamming and still look feminine sexy AND keep the 'twins' :) I will definitely check out the FB page provided thanks...would love to connect with you all as well.
