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.Originally Posted by DouglassDoubles
You ladies are all looking really good, and are very inspiring to me. I'm sort of 'new' to this too. Not as new to BB.com, but to the BB lifestyle. I really look forward to being much healthier, so as I lose more and more, the braver I will become to post pictures
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!Sophia

OK, here's a couple of shots from late last year.
The first one is just after popping an unopened can of Coke.
The second one is my progress from 2003 to 2006.
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.Originally Posted by speedy-vet

I'm the new girl here. I'm 36 and just started competitive bodybuilding this year. I placed 3rd as a lightweight at the Northern Kentucky (the Beverly show). I'll be competing in the same show next year - and probably the Arnold Amateur as well - as a middleweight this time around.

Great muscle development and conditioning.
I can't believe you only placed 3rd.Racism is completely irrational.

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.
Treat every day as if it were your last!
