Rankings just went up...I placed 8th out of 12. Bleh, that sucks....LOL Gonna try my hand at a Figure competition at the end of this month and see how that goes. I'm not too excited about it at this time because to me Bikini has more glamour, glitz, flair...like me! Figure just looks so boring and monotonous with the poses…

Thanks for your kind words :blushing:

I did NOT do it all at home. I did my first part of the losing the baby weight at home for the first year and a half. At home I did Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 and P90X. I also play Roller Derby. I then enlisted a trainer this May to help me prepare for the show!

THANK you for taking the time to read it!!! :flowerforyou:

Awe thanks! I feel YOUNG & VIBRANT!!! Age is just a number :wink:

HAHA, I have implants. Have had them for 13 years now :bigsmile:

I did the first part of my weight loss/tonging at home in the first year and a half after I had my baby. But in May of this year I got a trainer who kicks my *kitten* and gives me my nutritional plan :) Oh, and posing can be learned on YOUTUBE!!! I literally watched hundreds of videos. Copy and paste my link above to see…

I've always worked out in one form or another since I was 18. The muscle has always been there, I just had to get my diet in check for it to show!!!! It's not a MYTH when people say diet is about 70-80% of the battle!

Thanks everyone. Here are some pics too...click on the Bikini Prejudging and Bikini Finals. http://corsophoto.smugmug.com/BodybuildingCompetitions-2/Treasure-Coast-Classic Also check out my blog about my day: http://blingsbikiniprepadventures.blogspot.com/2013/08/its-show-time.html Thanks, Bling aka Sh0ewh0re7 aka Vicky

I got 2nd call outs...so placed somewhere between 5-8th...still waiting for them to post it. They said I was too lean. I'm a little apprehensive about Figure, it's just not girlie enough for me. I like the cute bikini's, posing, flair, glamour! To me Figure seem monotonous and not very girlie. And I am a GIRLIE GIRL for…

Figure show in 5 weeks after this show...so now it's 4.5 weeks out! I think I pretty much rocked my posing.

Ya, I wans't there to be Catty...I was just there to have a good time, get some experience under my belt and be the best ME I could be on that day. Besides, I looked better than Yellow Bikini girl...I wasn't the least bit threatened by her. :) xoxo

You KNOW I'm behind ya 100% Denise!!!! Anything you need...ask :)

I'd wait more than 10 weeks out....I had HUGE body changes in just the last 6 weeks...and in these last 3 alone I've lost over 6 lbs! Your suit could end up waaaay to big on you. Just a lil helpful hint :)

Or get a good amount put aside before quitting!!! LOL

9 days out and UBER EXCITED for it! Yes, it's a VERY VERY EXPENSIVE HOBBY!

YEP! We dedided on bikini for my first few shows thru mid November. Then gonna work on building more and see if I can hit the Figure division some time next year. :)

Sounds like you're on the right track!

I got mine from Sewn In The Sun, they are 20 minutes from me so I can go in for fittings!!! :) I go in this Friday to try on my actual suit for final alterations.

LOL!

Transformation with light at home lifting and videos: Transformation going hard at the gym! Lift, Love, Laugh!! :)

Not sure if they have wide width, but you can check where I got mine. exotichighheels.com

So, i decided to go with these sling backs....best of both worlds! Now the strap around the ankle wont be an issue of chopping my leg off bluntly and making it look stubby....I'll have an elongatged leg look with no strap. But still have the "security" of a strap at the back of my heel to hold the shoe on! Now I wont fall…

They don't feel like they will fall off at all?

Do it for YOU, eff what other catty bishes back stage will say or think! Coming out of two heart surgeries and competing is pretty bad *kitten* in my book and I'd think you were pretty amazeballzzzzz if I met you back stage! Go for it. Rock those scars proudly!!!!

Go to MuseleEgg.com ....they have flavored, drinkable eggwhites! I just got mine last week and they are AMAZING!!!! They are pasturized 6 times so it makes them completely safe to drink. They have them in Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint Brownie, and Chocolate/Caramel flavors. I got the Chocolate and Choc/Caramel flavors. 1/2 cup…

Wish I could help, but I'm just prepping for my first show too! Started 6 weeks ago, entering week 7 now, competing in my first show Aug 24th and again on Sept 28th. I'd say TRUST YOUR COACH, if you have a reputable one with clients that have had good results!!! Good luck.

I'm entering NPC shows. Thanks for replying! I'll definitely check it out. I appreciate your input :)

Did you ever get the program and did you feel it was worth it? I LOVE Ashley Horner, actually going to a Fit Camp she is putting on this Sunday in Ft. Lauderdale!!! Very Excited.

Just getting ready to start myself in May 2013. I hope to compete in Sept 2013. I'll be working with a trainer/nutritionist :)
