Heather in Denver.

I'm originally from Tacoma and somehow ended up here but am SERIOUSLY eyeing Cali and FL for a move next year- I enjoy CO but really miss the ocean...

Anyway, I am prepping to make my national debut this year and will compete at the Arnold Amateur and then Jr. Nats.

I've been a pretty studious lurker for sometime on the other sites but am really excited about what Dave and John have done here and plan to really take part.

Tacoma, WA? My brother is up there. I am from WA orignally, Port Angeles and Bellingham.

I thought so My OH thought he recognised you! We seen you at one of the shows in Ballymena last year held at Seven Towers leisure centre, you weren't competing that night though. I can't remember the name of the show now but it was the first time it was held.

Unfortunately there weren't that many competitors that night but we did arrive a tad late for it.

I look forward to seeing you at more shows, hopefully I will get a chance to see you compete.

Hi Malika

I am planning on competing for the next two years, and if I don't manage to get my nattie pro card, I am retiring my bikinis.

While I love to compete, I find it has thrown off my previous balance I had with my weight/body fat, how I ate and trained.

I was just diagnosed being hypothyroid, which means I haven't been producing enough thyroxine, making my metabolism quite slow, I lost some of my eyebrows, hearing, some of my hair, and get fat quite easily and have had a hard time (almost impossible), dropping below 16% bodyfat.

I think I have had this condition for close to four years, it was really a bit of luck with lab tests and how I was dieting that had me be diagnosed.

Oh yah, I am a biomedical scientist in clinical biochemistry.

I check my bloods every now and then when I am dieting/changing my diet, dehydrating, etc.

I am now going to be monitoring my hormone/thyroxine replacement therapy.
