I am on my first NPC bikini prep and would like more friends who are prepping or who have done contests before.

If you're not eating when you're hungry then you will never reach your goal. You HAVE to eat. Starving all day and eating a bunch of junk at night is going to get you nowhere.

Someone told me I was too skinny last night. I'm 5'0" at 104 lbs and average body fat percentage. Too skinny? I think not. Healthy? For sure.

5'0" and maintaining at 104 lbs currently.

I like them. They're not the best thing ever but they're convenient and pretty tasty so I give them a thumbs up. The chocolate chip cookie dough microwaved for a few seconds is delicious.

Thank you for your input.

I don't work as a chef. I have a desk job.

I like Chobani Flips yogurt. Okay, no. I take that back . I LOVE, ADORE, CRAVE, CHERISH Chobani Flips!! The Coco Loco, Peach w/ Pistachio and Key Lime Crumble flavors are incredible. I've yet to try the other flavors but I'm working on it.(: Banana with peanut butter, 2 oz single serve Wholly Guacamole with yellow/orange…

For me, it was more of a mental thing. For SO long I wanted to be fit and healthy and energetic and workout but for some reason I always came up with an excuse to eat junk food and be lazy. I was unhappy with my body but I never did anything to improve it. So, my small (huge) change was to realize that instead of changing…

My favorites are Quest bars and Muscle Pharm Combat Crunch bars.(:

My advice is to just put some ear buds in, blast your favorite music and get into your own world and forget everyone around you. I am very shy and don't like being around groups of people I don't know so when I go into the gym I just try to focus and forget the people around me. You're doing great, girl. Women like that…

I could not agree more. Well said.

I see your sarcastic posts in a lot of these forums. I don't think they're very helpful. Try to be less condescending.
-
LOVE THIS.

POP Pilates on Youtube is great! They're all about 10 minutes long and require no equipment so you can do them at home.(:

I'm 5'0"!! I only weigh 97 lbs but due to my short stature and being cursed with scoliosis (ugh) I tend to look heavier than I am. When I saw the "shorties unite!" I was like oh heck yea!
-
Oh, I should also add that by eating 1500-1600 cals/day and working out (weight lifting) 5-6 days/week I have maintained weight but lost 6% body fat without losing a single pound so don't get too set on weight.(:
-
I'm 21 years old and 5'0" as well! Go us! I've been maintaining for 3 months at 1500 and just recently increased my cals to 1600 because I workout 6 days a week. I think 1500 would be perfect for you. If you find that you're starting to gain you can either 1) Increase your workouts or 2) Decrease cals by 100 or so. I've…

It's funny how men always like to put in their two cents, isn't it? I would've said, "Oh, I'm sorry but I don't recall asking for you or any other male's opinion but thanks anyways." hahaha I have no males on my mfp friends list anymore. They'd all make negative comments about what I'd do for exercise or what I eat.
-
That's a great point.
-
Oh, and the biggest annoyance of mine is when someone says (I get this exact comment all of the time), "You look like you need to eat a cheeseburger." Do I? What is a cheeseburger going to do for me? Other than clog my arteries. People are seriously absolutely completely ignorant. I was actually at a BBQ joint last week…
-
People make comments like this to me a lot. If someone sees me eating healthy or declining a slice of cake, etc. they'll say, "It's not like you're going to get fat. You're already super skinny, it's not going to hurt you." For example, someone saw me eating watermelon the other day and made the comment, "Why do you always…

You should try out the Muscle Pharm Combat Crunch bars. They look/taste just like a chocolate candy bar. I personally LOVE Quest bars but if you weren't a fan of them, try out the Combat Crunch and see how you like them. They're perfect for when you have a sweet tooth and want some chocolate!

Some of my favorites are grilled chicken breasts, ground lean turkey, oatmeal, veggies (asparagus is my fav), quinoa, turkey burgers, protein pancakes-I have an incredible and easy recipe for them if you'd like it. I've also started making a protein shake to add to my usual breakfast (turkey bacon and eggs wrapped in a…

YUM! I love this oatmeal. I like mine with a Tablespoon (or two) of peanut butter mixed in.
-
I just finished up lunch. 4 oz grilled chicken breast (chili pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt&pepper for seasoning) with 0.5 cup of sauteed diced squash. Delish. Now I'm drinking a Crushing Cookies 'N Creme Pro Series Muscle Milk for "dessert."

I currently upped my cals from 1500 to 1600. It really depends on how much exercise you do. If you're sedentary (no exercise) then I'm sure 1200 is fine but if you do any type of exercise I would recommend upping your cals. I work out 6 days a week and have been maintaining (at 97 lbs) with 1600 daily intake + some of what…
