Competitor id: Jaye Taylor. Now I compete under my birth name Jaquita Person-TaylorAfter my husband and I got married in 2010 he confessed that he always wanted to do a bodybuilding show. We went to the Ronnie Coleman Classic in 2010 to support a friend and I said aloud...."oh I can do this no problem". He said if I did then he would So I started training for the very first time ever!!! in late July 2010 at 150lbs and over 21% bf closer to 30%. In september of the same year,at 118lbs and 7.5%bf, I stepped on my first stage at The Heart of Texas doing figure and couples bodybuilding. I got 4th in figure and my husband and I got 1rst in bodybuilding. I knew instantly that bodybuilding was it for me.

Bodybuilding is the proof of my workout. I spent all my life either being a stick figure or the chunky girl that didnt know she was too big for a two piece. Working out makes me feel good. The gym is my happy place and it forces me to put everything else aside and focus on me. As a wife and mother of two toddlers I dont get a lot of "me" time. My husband is my trainer and I can see how proud of me he is whenever I complete a set of squats or do chest and my muscle stand up and out. I have never had anyone actually be proud of ME. It feels good. Bodybuilding is great for me because I get to display all my hard work. I love the competition and the awesome people I get to meet. It just fits.
Now there is something new and the switch to physique is in my very near future. I hope with this change, I mark my road to pro with my first competition in this new catagory. Stay tuned I start training 10/7/2013 and show day is at the Ronnie Coleman Classic if the fates allow :)
