Don't get discouraged you have the best trainer and support system at your finger tips - BODYBUILDING.COM! I have talked to so many amazing people on here who have helped me with diet and everything to suit color for my first contest. I have a trainer now and thats because I want to do my first figure show in march. I am not starting the contest until the 1st/2nd because I'm down due to a back injury, currently in a "bulking" stage, lol. You'll do great. Just remember you're doing this to be a more amazing you! Hope you have a great holiday! Anything I can answer let me know. I have lots of diet links bookmarked.

If you are looking for a solid diet and don't know how to create one yourself or even where to begin, I recommend you take a look at some of the diets by Scivation. Check out www.teamscivation.com and www.scivationbooks.com
Best of luck!

Don't get discouraged by a long shot. To tell you the truth, starting this competition when we all have is a test of the ultimate strength of us women. It's the holidays! Lots of temptation, but also lots of amazing women to support us through it all. I also do not have a trainer (can't afford one on a mommy, student budget) and do not have a dietian, but its my daughter and the NEED to change that makes it worth getting up everyday to do it and to go it alone if that's what I gotta do. I'm not sure who posted it before but she said its a win-win situation that we're in, and she was right. You're beautiful! Remember your motivation and tap back into that when you get discouraged.

thanks  im like you on mommy salary, cant have the fluff. i have me and me only and of course all the great people on here!! the money for this would be great, but the satisfaction of working hard and having something to show for it at the end is the best thing. i know that everyone who enters this is going to do amazing and get sooo many rewards even if they arent monetary. i make everyone a promise if you get down on yourself, i will help pick you back up all i ask is that you do the same for me

I am super excited about joining this group. I was into Olympic Weightlifting before I went to college and I dropped about 60 lbs in 8 weeks only working out 4 times a week for 30 minutes with no supplements and a moderate diet. I could only workout 30 minutes because of an injury I had to my knee which is totally healed now. Now I'm in college and on my own, no coach and I really need to win this (tuition...) and I was wondering if any of you guys knew a trainer or someone who can help me?

over and over again; it's obvious that MT doesn't like people to say negative things about their product(s), but I plan on saying whatever I want in regards to the supplement and my own physical reactions to it
I don;t foresee a problem. Thank you though.

thank you so much for letting us know about this....again and again. i personally mean no disrespect to anyone, but i would never bash any product, if i use it and it didnt for me, then hey, it didnt work for me and i am going to try something else. i think in any situation.....there are 2 sides to a story and i think maybe MT is showing professionalism by not talking about ongoing litigation....thats my story and im sticking to it

coaching
I'm using a coach because I've seen what he's been doing with my friend Kat...she looks great and I've been trying for 8 months to get inshape and not getting anywhere by myself. I know I COULD do it myself, but I'm makin a load of excuses and jason will kick my arse for me. That's why I'm using JPHILLIPS17....as a trainer and he's also doing my nutrition. I'm definitely scrimping on other areas of my life to make the $$ go to him, but it's worth it for my right now. I'm getting married march 7 2009 so it's now or never!!! Crunch time, girls! Help a sister out! I need you ALL to bust my arse for me!!

Hi Everyone, it is so inspiring to see women supporting women, competition or no competition. I joined since the beginning and have since gotten my supplements and started my program. This is it for me, either I get it right, now or never. Luckily, my mental journey started a year ago, although my physical journey is only now beginning. Good luck and stay focus!
If you slip..... JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!!

Want to get started!
Hey all! I am so excited to see everyone getting geared up for this! I have already got my product and took my before photos (anyone posting "before" pictures before they're done?)
However, I am having trouble entering. I have tried numerous times since Tues. and keep getting an error response. I've already emailed the host and the support line for BB but still no response. Anyone who can help me I would appriciate it, I really want to make it official!
Good luck to those already entered!
