Hi all...

if you look at my profile pic, that's me after losing almost 50lbs. I've lost 35lbs since joining MFP in July 2010 - but started my weight loss journey in June 2010.

Long story short - a lot of things happened to me that pushed me to get the motivation to finally get in the best shape of my life AND realize a dream I've had since I was 16.

Started seriously training to gain muscle and lose fat in June 2010. Then finally fully committed to compete in a Figure Body Building competition which takes place this Saturday.

I don't care what the outcome is, but if I were to take home a trophy it would definitely be awesome! I can tell you that this journey has taught me a lot about myself, my eating habits and how passionate I am about being healthy in every way.

Anyway, I'm posting this to remind you all that NO MATTER WHAT keep at it - you can reach any dream you wish for! I'm proof of that!!!

Cheers! :flowerforyou:

    Good job. Your hard work has paid off. If you win, that would be awesome, but if you don't, you should use that to put yourself in even better shape. I also think about competing sometimes, after I have gained more muscle...

    Oh, how I love your arms. You look great! Much better than I've seen some women on bodybuilding.com competing.
