You mentionned IBS... Have you tried a low fodmap diet? You can maybe find a nutritionist that can guide you through that.

I've been bloated all my life. Just recently (2-3 years ago) I was...

It's been talked that most of the shows that are still planned for 2020 in my province (Quebec) will most likely be held without any spectators. I'm very doubtful they will happen at all but we'll...

I was supposed to compete April 4th. It got cancelled, then I decided on another show later in May... knowing well it would probably be cancelled.

Since then most shows until late August have been...

I had/have a similar issue.
I've been doing lower body/glutes 3x a week (heavy) for a year (and upper 2x) with my current coach and it made a hugeeee difference. I mostly do squats, hip thrusts,...

I can't help but I feel you!!

My April 4th show was cancelled. I have another one lined up in May but I'm 99% sure it'll be cancelled. Let's be real, most summer shows will be cancelled as well....

Yikes, it arrived. 11 days late. At least I won't have it for the competition... if it isn't cancelled which isn't sure at this point.

Thanks! Yes I am done having kids so I'm not too worried, also have to say I'm happy I won't have my period for my shows this year (doing two back to back).

I was expecting it... Still no period. Have to admit I'm fine with it.
Just wondering if other women had period symptoms (cramps, headaches) but the period never came.

Hey,

I am a little more than 4 weeks out from my next bikini competition. I haven't had my period this month now although I'm usually regular. Also had spotting 1-2x last month for no reason. I'm...

Will do! I already have a massage booked in 2 weeks, will book a few until the competition also.
Gosh, I guess I need to do some yoga then ;) I may try doing some classes at home. Commiting to a...

I've been 5'5 and 110 pounds most of my adult life, it's just been my 'normal' weight for years. I am now around 130 pounds and probably leaner than I was at 110 pounds, even after 2 kids. Cutting is...

Hi,

I'm currently 15 weeks out from my next competition. The first one I did, posing was a little easier on my body because of the category & federation I entered. I'm switching it up for 2020 and...

Sure that's fine. Lots of women dress like this at my gym. I don't, but doesn't mean it's not right. Wear whatever you want as long as you're comfortable. Men are going to look whatever you wear, so...

These are all excellent points. I started lifting 10+ years ago but I'm an anxious person (and an introvert), and still get anxious when I need to do new exercices, try a new machine, a new gym, etc....

I do cardio 3x a week at the moment (200 calories each time), I'm bulking but like to keep some cardio in anyways. I do it when it works in my schedule. Most of the time I'll do it right after...

Half (or more) of that gain is probably water!
I also depleted water prior to my competition and was 108 pounds on the stage, it is not a sustainable weight. The following day I gained back 3-4...

I've struggled with this a lot. I have two kids, they are now 3-4 so they play around in my home gym while I train.
But it was a struggle when they were kids for sure! I still trained, but...

You sound like me. I've been lifting and 'dieting' for 10+ years, know what to do, etc but still want a 2nd pair of eyes and some guidance.

For me communication is a priority. I want my coach to...

I've been in a recent show where a woman won 3 classes: 1st place bikini open (she won her pro card), 1st place novice fitness model (a mix between figure & bikini in this federation) and 2nd place...

Thanks so much! I really, really want to do this. Let's see if I can make it work.
I was hoping you'd reply! ;)
