Bikini would be easier if I were 20 but it's amazing how hard it is with every detail when you're in your 30s.
Someone pass me a beer please. lol

I know, so many People bash on me, and I don't say anything. Let the ignorant be ignorant. Bottom line, woman's bodybuilding and fitness didn't accept woman's figure when that sport started. Now woman's figure doesn't really accept bikini. It's funny, my husband put it best. Everyone needs to be a freshman in school.

On another note. It works out best for me that not a lot of girls know that it takes work, because those of us that do work at it, are the ones that look the best on stage. I love when girls in their 20s get up on stage like it's a local bar bikini contest. Better for me, cuz I've done the homework and still use some attributes that show figure respect for the sport hence the dip when saying goodbye.

I really hope that people will realize that it isn't easy to have a bikini body for the NPC and soon IFBB all the time. Woman fluctuate with weight and hormones that keeping yourself tone and trim and dieted is work. It may not be as much work as body building and figure, but dammit it isn't a walk in the park. Especially once you hit 30. lol.

I started my prep two weeks ago at 12 wks out. Today is 10 wks out for me and I've lost 10 lbs...ya - I got too far gone. Haven't competed since 2006 Nat'ls and am trying to requalify now. Took me this long to get my contest head back. Anyone know what I mean?
Anyeay - I love this thread! Very comforting to know I'm not the only one who can't have the PB andnuts - HUGE TRIGGERS for me! I'm better without!

I do. I took a year off and it was hard for me to get my head back in the game.

I'm actually jealous of the people who can do all tilapia...I can only eat fresh caught which is hard as hell to find...and even harder to find not from an asian country! sounds odd I know but fresh, frozen at sea stuff I can eat...farm raised from ANY country? forettaaboutit...hahahaha...I miss eating it...I had the perfect mrs. dash for it...pffft

as for me and dieting, I had a pro/fat day yesterday and today I have been going out of my mind wanting food...this is going to be a looooong 20wks...
