When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I would do light toning exercises in the gym. Several people told me I should try to compete for figure, and I finally gave in. I started bodybuilding in January 08 and fell in love.
Why I Love It:
It's a fresh, new challenge, unlike anything I've tried before. I love learning the technique as well as the TRUTH--that lifting won't suddenly turn me into a guy.
How I Stay Motivated:
Talking to other women lifters in my area; reading about body transformation stories (I usually cry); Jamie Eason
BB Accomplishments:
Texas State Championships 08--6th place (first show) Lackland Classic 08--2nd out of 18 Houston Pro/Am 09--4th South Texas Classic 09--4th Texas State Championships 09--2nd

Her profile page speaks for itself. Look at her progress pics--if she doesn't inspire you after that nothing will!
KLTexas [ BodySpace ]
Super nice, sure dedicated, super rockstar. I met her at a show and my mom (who's just getting into clean eating--she didn't think looking fit was even possible for her) was so inspired by her, which meant a lot to me.

Congrats on the great placing at your comp Livi! You leaned out wonderfully, legs looked more tapered and yet still kept that eye catching sweep. I can tell you are really attacking those leg exercises from all stances and angles! All the very, very best w/ the 21st!!

ya know your comments do the same for me, to have someone with a physique like yours compliment me is an accomplishment in itself, you understand how hard I worked to look like this, because I know you must have put yourself through hell to like like you do!!!!!!

Powderhouse Productions, TV producer for major networks, NEEDS TEXAS BODY BUILDERS. Our next show will talk about artificial muscles and we'd like to talk about them with a few body builders around to show real muscles at their finest. If you are interested please contact us. We will be shooting November 23rd or 24th in the Dallas area. It should be an interesting shoot and great exposure for all involved. I look forward to hearing from you.
