I was thinking the same thing as Lynne about the girl in the backround. LaReina, you looked awesome!!! Totally amazing you did that as a mother too!! Good luck on your next show!!!

[Noosk]

Holy crap girl, you look so HOT in those pics (am I allowed to say that?)....LOVE the big smile, you don't look nervous at all. You look really ripped, tanned, wow what a great job. You must be stoked for the next one. Hey, could someone turn the A/C on in here.......

................oh, and the last two pics are realllllly small.

You certainly have gotten immense results from your hard labour, awesome!

[Boss Man]

Well what I can say is that 8 out of 13 is a great result .

You proved you deserve to be called an athlete, for working hard for this and getting that end result. You looked beautiful, glowing and a wonderful endorsement for healthy, feminine Ladies anywhere.

I would be more than happy to call you an athlete, a rolemodel, an inspiration and someone to be looked up to by females, especially younger ones. You are an excellent advertisement for the benefits of good living, doing it right and making it all count and you've done it honestly, and with much heart and courage of your convictions.

I think back to the rhetoric I posted some time back, about disgraceful sites that encourage unhealthy behaviour in females, then I think about this site and the things we do to encourage, support and promote healthy behaviour in females.

Your next show no doubt will turn out better than this one, but if this is what you can do to start with, you DEFINITELY have a very promising future on the stage.

You've brought out inner smile and given me another reason, to be proud of the things we do on Shapefit, because you have shared so much with us from the heart and about what it's like to be you. I'm proud of helping to cultivate an environment, where someone like you is looked upon with great humanity and humbleness, not with scorn or distain.

I'm proud of what you have achieved for yourself and the feedback it has engendered from others. I feel very lucky and privileged to have you as part of our community. Your journey has been hard, but incredibly rewarding, I can tell and you deserve a lot of luck and best wishes from me and you deserve to feel special after that, because you looked pretty special and you certainly did not let yourself down in any way.

A great result for a wonderful Lady. WELL DONE and keep it going, because the comments you got, say so much about you and your fine example of living and you deserved them all.

I look forward to more insights into your journey and future progress and I hope you'll continue to give a little of your heart and time to us. We will always be honoured and humbled to receive them.

You make a fine athlete and you DID and DO belong in that world.

You probably won't read this beforehand, but to reiterate the sentiments I said last time and meant every word. You can be so proud of yourself for this. You ARE a winner, you ARE an athlete and you ARE someone deserving of stepping out with such people.

You have a beauty that comes from within and shines and the emotional and mental qualities you posses, can help you improve and find more success at these things.

No matter how far you decide to go with this, as long as Shapefit is here, we will always support your goals and give you reasons to be proud of what you have achieved and the outcomes you have attained.

Every moment you have to "show", is your chance to sparkle and let people see what physical image you are capable of creating. You ARE a very good sculptress. You work hard to craft and hone your artistic body, into something no gallery or museum could house, but to me has as much if not more merit, than conventional strains of art.

As long as you continue to believe in what you are potentially capable of, you will create a possible situation, where maximising of your potential can be attained.

I remain proud to give support to and share this site with you. Your personality and attitude are always warm, gracious and touching and it's great ot see you doing something you enjoy and proving that with time and patience a strong, healthy, feminine body is achievable and deserves some respect.

So whenever you step out in future, you'll be going with the support and best wishes of a lot of people here. We can't be there personally, but we can be there in other ways and these moments are your special moments to sparkle, shine and naturally blossom and I know 10,000%, you are capable of making the most of them and that you will be great at doing this, for as long as you continue to compete.

GOOD LUCK remember, that whenever you compete, to never fear anyone and just be yourself. It's someone elses to lose as much as yours to win, but you can only "present", what you believe is you best look and performances, whether it's good enough or not to win in someone elses eyes.

If you can look and perform at your best, that's the main thing.

You CAN do that every time and I will continue to believe in you and support you, for as long as you let this site and people like myself do that .

You're a great "athlete", so keep believing, keep smiling, chin up and no worries okay.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Hope all you guys and gals are doing well! I've missed you all!

Okay, so...I didn't compete at the Bill Pearl last weekend. About a week out from the show, trainer and I were assessing the situation ( bum) and we decided it would be better if I not do the Bill Pearl and maybe aim for a show a little farther out so I have more time to work on "assets". LOL! I haven't picked a show yet, as I'm trying to juggle work, the kids, husband, a strict diet and training regimine and summer is just around the corner. I really don't think it would be fair to myself or family to try to diet for a show during the summer, but I'm planning on doing the best I can and we'll see where I end up!

I've cut back weight training to two days a week, upper body/ lower body splits for the sake of time and money. Also, I've cut back on cardio to 5 x a week instead of twice a day 7 days a week! Phew!!!

The week after I decided not to do the Bill Pearl, I allowed myself the week off to eat as I pleased ,when I pleased, and with no commitment to exercise whatsoever. I threw calorie counting out the window and gorged myself on anything and everything I wanted. OMG! body did not agree with me!!! 10 lbs heavier, I have been swollen up like a balloon for over a week now! For the last couple of days I have been doing a water flush and cleaned up meals....I'm already feeling much better.

We did, however, go to watch the Bill Pearl, and I can tell you first hand....Cassie ROCKED the stage! I'm sooooo proud of her!
