I was gross. I could grab a wad of fat roll when I bent over and I had dimples on my legs when I sat down with shorts on. Plus I was "just skinny" and that doesnt look good after 30....it translates into saggy butt and wussy arms with a jiggle. I tried the anorexia thing and it just made my ass lower and my hip bones stick out.
Why I Love It:
Endorphins and the way guys get out of my way when I purposely sit near them.......I guess its empowering to be physically strong
How I Stay Motivated:
Fear of cellulite, the mirror and competing. When you know you will be judged under bright lights in a tiny suit, you tend to bust ass. I usually have a show coming up, so this keep my pretty lean all year

looking old and flabby...skinny/fat and starving myself
this proves you can get back into shape. The woman getting into the pool was not who I wanted to be..........today I am who I want to be. Stronger, wiser, smarter and HAPPIER

Goal (Long):
Be THE FEMALE VERSION OF JOHN BASEDOW!!!!
2008 Okay, here goes......I want to help people with what I have learned through trial and error of my own. I'd love to have my own personal training studio and help transform people. I reached ALL my 2007 goals. My new ones are 1 magazine shoot, 1 bodybuilding show and getting out of CT......not necessarily in that order. Oh and go to the Arnold Classic with a supp compny.REACHED!!!
I want to compete in both figure and female bodybuilding and break some of the stereo types that 'muscles make women less feminine, that a great body is unattainable after 30, that women are stuck looking like "moms" after having children.' This is all not true! Plus you are not stuck with "flat white girl ass'!
I want to do more fitness modeling, help educate on supplementing and nutrition and help stop all the people who join gyms in January from quitting in March after going 3 times and feeling inept and intimidated in the weight room.
Im not going to delve into this too much as I am in the middle of writing an article on calorie consumption. I just want to say do not rely solely on the # of calories you consume as a guide for losing weight. there are good calories and empty calories. Keep this in mind.........a 100...
FOOD FOOD FOOD
On a daily basis, I eat pretty clean. I am trying to up my calories at present, but I never checked them. I don’t go by calories. I go but fat,carbs and protein. 150 grams of protein (at least)
Comment to your June 28 Blog - I'm going to compete for first time in March 2010, my comp PT was very concerned that my husband was supportive of this, which he is, but the PT knows the stigma that seems to be attached to BB competition. I've told my husband not to spread it around, cuz alot of ppl just don't understand that world, they think its weird. There are stranger things in this world and most of them pretty unhealthy. Keep being the inspiration that your are, girl!
You've probably heard this a million times, your preogession from when you started to the most recent is amazing! I like the term skinny/fat, I see those type of builds a lot. You totally transformed yourself and you look fabulous! Keep it up, I know you inspire a lot of folks
I felt the same way when I was thinking of trying master nat's. You will be awesome Fern. You have everything going for you...not to mention the figure suit to die for (hope you wear that new one). I will cheer you on!!
Things have been going really well, I have about 15 more lbs I'd like to lose. It took me a while, but I've lost 30 lbs since last May! Keep up the great work, you look amazing! Hope your computer is fixed soon, that must be driving you crazy :)
