My name is Melissa Johnson I am wanting to compete in I natural figure competitions. Here is my problem I am a Seventh-day Adventist which means I can't show from Friday night, to Saturday sundown. If you know of any figure comp. on Friday morning let me know I am desprate! This is my life I am trying to respect my religion, but everything being on Saturday does not help. I have been training hardcore with Becca Swanson and want to get up on stage and have some fun with it!

Have you talked to your spiritual leader about your desire to compete? I just Wikipedia'd SDA-ism and it seems the religious movement puts a lot of emphasis on personal health. Perhaps joining a fitness competition for fun isn't as 'bad' as you might think?

If a competition is completely out of the question, sounds like you need to be proactive about setting up a SDA competition. Certainly there are others like you in your church that would like to compete but can't/won't because of your religion's customs.

Perhaps you could ask SDA to sponsor a SDA competition with a schedule more to your religion's liking?
