MoWorkin: Grow Strong 2011

[MoEcho]

Hello all! It's Heidi here, aka MoEcho, MoHeavy, MoLiftin', Mo .. just about anything fits

I usually hang out in Derek Charlebois' Contest Prep section where I got my start in bodybuilding back in 2006. I've learned a ton from the Team Scivation crew, and have met the most incredible people!! I recognize quite of few of you also, and I hope to make many more new friends as I continue on my journey.

I decided to start a new log here with hopes of surrounding myself with some STRONG A@@ WOMEN!! So far, things are looking good! I can't believe some of the weight you girls are moving! Incredible! I am fired up and ready to SMASH some more PRs!

ABOUT MO

I have been fat, then fatter, then really fat! My lowest weight was 133ish back in 2008, but I didn't have much muscle. My goal now is stage ready by April 2011 -- or there abouts! I have tons of support, and Emma-Leigh in my corner ….what else could a girl ask for! I'll take this opportunity to say THANKS to Emma for putting up with all my crap and for being a great friend and trainer! PS - once I figure out what time it is in AUS, I'll stop bombarding you with questions at 3AM! Tee hee.

My old log is here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=125804733

^^ For those who wish to read a lot of useless gibberish, enjoy some food porn and watch me make a fool of myself via YouTube. Always good times in MoLand.

STATS: 5'3, 147ish (<-- that is almost a record low for me these days!)
LOCATION: BUTT COLD OTTAWA, ON CANADA!! (Yes, that's the official name)
STRATEGY: DO WORK and STOP CRYING!

Currently I'm sitting about ~18 weeks out. Who's in?

Hello KB!! Glad you're in for the ride, and thanks for the kind words!!

Solution 5 is a meal replacement supplement by Scivation. It's reasonably priced and tastes ... ok. I like it, but I know several folks who will disagree with me ... (Carlito!!) <-- But he's crazy so don't listen to him!

Ok, so I don't exactly remember the time frames, and I'm too lazy to look up the dates from past threads, but here are my best lifts .. give or take a few pounds (on the bar, and on my a$$)

Flat BB Bench: 175 x 1
BB Deadlift: 245 x 2 (Off the floor)
Rack Deadlift: 315 x 2
Pullups: BW x 7 (Wide grip, unassisted)
BB Back Squat: 245 x 4 (ROM could have been better, but still) *wink*
BB Front Squat: 175 x 2
Incline DB Press: 70s x 7

Hi



Just dropping in to say: I love your signature
See you are prepping for a comp - how amazing.. !

I feel like the only kid on the playground who got a snack pack in their lunch box by being the first one in.

And sheesh...I mean...srsly Major.....TOTAL SLACKER. Not like she's got stuff going on.

I haven't ruled out a joint thread, but my ego is sensitive and my non-existent left bicep is pretty touchy. I mean, you can bring the shreddedness, and the strength. I can bring......Diet Mtn Dew? Sugar Free Jello? Timmy's coffee?

The invite didn't say and I hate to arrive empty-handed. Thus, I am ->

THANK YOU ROB!!!!!!
Sheesh Mo, I mean we get the whole rundown, but there are yet to be PICS IN THIS THREAD!!!!! That is ludicrous, preposterous, and ridiculous. I won't stand for it!!!!! (Note: typed while sitting on my couch for emphasis) I used exclamation points and caps and everything just so you'll know.

I'm stopping just short of mad face. That's a little too strong, and I'm a little tired.

[Fightingenetics]

Oh I'm sooooo in. Look at those weights! *squee*

Hello!!

Been a busy weekend, and I am not feeling well at all BUT .. it's almost Christmas and that my favorite time of the year! I just need a few days of sleeping for 18 hours, and I'll be back in no time! I've also been dosing Vit C like crazy and getting in all my good nutrients .. hopefully this will pass soon and I can get back to slamming legs!!

Was 148 even this AM after breakfast <-- good sign!

This thread is lacking nudez and food porn ... I'll try to get some pics up soon so we know what we're working with here....

Most epic tuna melt ever .. I rolled it up and ate it like a burrito. The base is egg whites + psyllium husks...



Chicken, potato and spinach fritatta..kinda



And of course, Blueberries, splenda and greek yogurt FTW

[MoEcho]

And I found this one in my OBF contest pics folder. This was last Winter .. I think. Do you see what I see? I may actually, kinda have traps!! OMG OMG ... Tanning lotion does wonders for me



Here are two more recent fat-belly shots: My worst area -- (my hips/thighs are bad too, but typical female issues.. lolol) Depends on the lighting.... I have never seen my abs.. still a lot of work to do, but we're getting there! Dunno if I'll be ready in 17 weeks (more like 117 weeks ) but I just keep plugging away ...1 day at a time.

Belly 1


Belly 2
