DD, see that baby in your arms? That's your motivation my dear. You want to see that kid graduate HS and not be in a wheelchair from weight related back/knee/medical issues.
Keep at it, think "a pound a week".
That's 52lbs a year, 104 in 2, 156 in 3, etc.. slow sustainable, easy to keep it off. Slow and steady wins the race.
Plenty of support here for you.

How about over 43?
This is about one month ago. I'm leaner now because my next comp is coming up this weekend on June 9th. I was able to add some muscle over my off season. I'll post more photos soon!
I just started competing in October 2005 - it's never too late!

You have a gorgeous figure!! Nice job! I agree with Titania -- you don't look anywhere near 43 years old!
Best wishes to you in the contest this weekend!!

The first one is just after popping an unopened can of Coke.

The third one is a pumped bicep flex.
The last one is my raw competition deadlift of 407 lbs.

Fat Burning Supplements
I was successful in losing 50 pounds naturally (no supplements). However, I want to step it up a notch and lose more weight and build muscle. Can anyone suggest a good fat burning supplement? Drop me a line...

WOW. I admire your hard work. I can't believe you got your body fat that low. If only I could loose some more. I am hovering around 23% right now.

Awesome!
Great muscle development and conditioning.
I can't believe you only placed 3rd.

Thank you Hibiscus and powerman! As far as my placement, there were a couple of judging reasons as to why I didn't place higher, but choosing NOT to be a sore loser - lol - I won't go there
It was an awesome experience and I'm looking forward to MANY more competitions

Feel free to join in with the over 30 ladies and find this a safe haven to receive praise for your work and suggestions for improvement tempered with compliments.
If anyone gives you a hard time, you let ME know immediately. I WILL deal with the situation.
The pics do not have to be a BB pose, just any pic that shows off the work you've done.
Hibiscus, no excuses, we'll take the "pool sloth" shots too.
Post away............
PS: I know we will get off track here, so don't be offended when I go in and clean up the thread and dump any off-track posts. Don't worry, I'll be removing some of my own too, I'm sure. |
I'm new here (as of today ) Great thread and I am looking forward to participating.
