Overall Goal: I qualified for Nationals at my last competition, but I know in order to represent well, I need to put on about 10 lbs, and it has to be muscle! At my age, that's tough, and I have a hard time gaining weight.
Fit Status:

I've worked out since I was a teenager, but at this stage of the game I needed a goal to keep me there, so I decided to compete
Why I Love It:
I've learned a lot about myself as far as drive and will power and having a sense of direction go. It's not even about getting the trophy, the journey there is what I like
How I Stay Motivated:
I look at that itty bitty bikini!
BB Accomplishments:
1st place masters over 50 at gold coast classic /miami 2009, 1st place masters over 50 at southern states/ft. lauderdale 2009, 2nd place masters over 55 at ft. lauderdalecup, 5th place A class Ft. Lauderdale cup 2009

Goal (Long):
I've always been into fitness and bodybuilding, but competing was just something those beautiful bodies in the magazines did-it never occured to me that I would ever be on that stage! Now that I am there, I don't want anything but 1st place. At my age, I don't have time to waste or to settle for less. My last contest I only placed 2nd so I have changed up my routines, and eating more, and can already see the difference.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
masters nationals

I am touched by your reply and thank you for taking the time to write. I am working as hard as I can to inspire and motivate those who are trying to lose weight and get into better shape and are having a difficult time or are struggling. I want them to know that with the right program as well as determination they can reach their goals. I congratulate you on all your efforts. You lady, are a fantastic inspiration to so many others. Stay strong, focused and determined.
I want to state that you look absolutely amazing! You have the body that so many women, the majority much younger than you, dream of having but are not willing to put the effort into developing. I compliment you on your dedication, determination as well as your achievements. You are a fantastic inspiration to others. Stay strong, focused and determined and may God bless.
Wow, Ellen! 56 y/o?!?!? Holy cow, I should look that good NOW! What a beautiful woman you are and what a fantastic job you have done and are doing with your body! Keep up the good work...you look GREAT!
When I'm not training for a race I'm just doing 2 or 3 miles when I run. Everything I do is just to stay fit, no comps for me. But I do wish I could lean out more. Any advice?
I'd love to send you my eating plan but this only allows me 500 words. It's a bit frustrating to try and narrow it down. Do you have an e-mail or can you suggest how I get you that information? I am in the process of updateing my supplements on my bodyspace page.
Yes, I work out at home. Do you have any quick tips for losing body fat? I can't seem to drop below 25%. I'm guessing better nutrition and more cardio, huh?
I am my own worst critic...usually I only believe change when someone else sees it..other than the husband :-) Tks! Its a slow process and I am happy when I see changes too!
You go Girl! You look amazing. Just joined the 50+ group, us ladies gotta stick together. I commend your efforts and sacrafices it takes to have that body. I'm not that dedicated, love my beer and nachos on the weekends and big family dinners! But I do pretty freakin good for a grandma of 3!
Thank you so much for your visit, can´t get enogh of em, and your kind words. To take one day at a time is a good plan, we only live one day at a time. I had plenty of time to go down,(due to shoulder problems), now´s payback time.
