Hi girls,
I could do with some advice as I'm struggling to see what I may suit. I'd like to have a crack at UKBFF Bikini next year (same level as NPC). I've competed in the past in a tested...

Do you think Bikini competitors don't get marked as highly with short hair because they are marked on beauty?

Still feel like sh1t today. I've genuinely no idea why! I'm not pre-menstrual, I'm not worried about how I'm coming in... I'm just genuinely fed-up and miserable! I got a good night's sleep last...

Am less than 7 weeks out from my first show. Woke up this morning on a rest day, felt full of beans. Now it's 3pm and I want to cry and eat. Really feeling like another 40-something days of this is...

wOOP Woop Go Team GB! ;)

I'm 12 weeks out and only put in cheat meals if I plateau 2 weeks in a row (after changes have been made to CV/diet)

How much do you think you have to lose still?

Keep icing your shins, use Cryogel on them; and intermit with hot baths.
OR, do what I did in the same position and use the handbike for your last few days cardio.

I'm 7, nearly 6 weeks out from my BNBF British Finals now EEK!

I've been plagued by illness, self-belief and the worst period munchies you could ever imagine! I'm just waiting any day now for my...

Do you train at Pete Chown's FF? Him are Nita are my buddies! :hmn:

I know Forest Gym cos Karen M does my prep...

Anyways, Flick, 27 compete in BNBF and NPA and have done since 2007.
...

Lorrie - I'm a natural competitor and I always look fcuking sh1t all the way through prep... :-/

My trainer said to me not so long ago: "You just have one of those body's that looks normal until...

I saw the show in the UK - she was awesome, I was very proud to be British... :-)

Am week 6 in to a 12 week diet... My period is seriously screwing me over... My cycle is so erratic at the moment, I've had a 6 day period thus far, not wanted to train, been bloated and spaced out...

I guess the plan is to workout EXACTLY what you can buy easily should anything get confiscated... The harder stuff that you mightn't find anywhere - put it in your checked luggage...
In the UK we're...

So... did 4 weeks dieting, all went uber swimmingly... Then went on holiday to Vancouver. At the end of week 1 I was crying and had to get back in the gym cos I felt like I'd gained shedloads of...

Have a look at the INBA and OCB too - they have lots of events, you're bound to find something :-)

Woop!!! Go Xylese Burford in Women's Heavyweight Bodybuilding! Go Team GB!! :hmn:

Here here!!!

I did Figure for two seasons, I hated it, felt like a stripper even though I wasn't in stripper heels! Kudos to all the ladies who look glam and elegant doing it!

Losing sight of...

Think my system just got blocked up going from tuna to Turkey this week... All's fine now :)

Am pretty hungry today :drool:

Have had the worst tummy pains since 3am this morning! They kept me awake all night! :mad: Did manage to train today, am thinking I'm either blocked up or it's trapped wind - either way it's flippin...

AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU for organising the seminar Tan! It's exactly what UK BB needs!!!

I always lose your journal on MT, so nice to catch up with it here :-)

You're not actually...

I've had nightmares (2 to 3 a night) everyday since I've started prep! :confused:No idea why - no melatonin, no supps really - how annoying is that!

Started diet tyesterday WOOP GO!!! :yep:

I was aching EVERYWHERE!!! I've just had a year out and despite doing the odd pose at home, this is the first time in 18 months... It reminded me how much more I gotta practise! I always do it...

In the UK (I compete in natural feds); and Figure tends to be the pre-cursor to Physique - i.e. girls say "I'll do Figure cos I've not got enough muscle for BB". Very few actually stay in figure,...

Soooo, today went to posing club - I feel AMAZING! :yep:

First proper posing practise of 2010 and all of us talking about diet and things that work/don't work - I'm really excited to start...

Am excited! Am going to see trainer on Friday for first time in like 16 months. Possibly starting diet next week and I'm REALLY excited! Hope I look different, I've worked my a$$ off in my year off...

I think Figure and Fitness should be equal level physiques and the only difference should be the fitness routine itself. A lot of women are winning at the Euros/World's then having to downsize to...

Ditto GirlyMuscle I thought the pink one made your upper chest look bigger.

The black one looked really good though and well fitting, better than the red tbh...

I'm starting to go off the 'hating my food' stage after 4 years bodybuilding and eating cleanly. Couldn't stand another chicken meal heatd up, so now I switched to tuna, til I get sick of that!
I've...

Don't worry about holding water after a re-feed, it'll be gone in 2-3 days :)
Also, if you haven;t got much to spend on suits, consider getting one second-hand, or if you want something to keep you...

Sci-Mentor - their Choc Mint Premium Whey is AMAZING!!! Don't try the choc orange though = battery acid!

I'm just coming towards the end of a year off and starting prep pretty soon.

Taking a year off is the scariest thing I ever did. I want people to notice I'm back, I want to smash my previous...

Hey Mattie!
Don't freak out, have you got someone who trusts you to take a look at you?
Sometimes the scales don't move, it happens. The more stressed you get, the less likely you'll be to lose......

Hey little miss! Really like it on here and saw your journal - thought I'd pop by to say hi *waves*

Hi Dave,

I just wondered whether you've ever experienced any ladies you've having their legs smoothing out who are on the keto diet?

This is a fantastic thread. I never actually thought anyone else binged on their diets... In the UK no-one talks about it, except me, then I feel sooooo stoopid as I feel like I'm the only one!
