    @acer621 Sure! I am a person who loves to eat. I never tracked calories/counted macronutrients before this, and I just ate whenever I felt hungry. Being on prep puts you at a caloric deficit below your maintenance weight. For example, let's say you need to eat 1,800 calories to maintain your...

    @bluepiano2 Yes, like I said, I became obsessed. If I ever do this again, I will have to plan/meal prep ahead of time.

    @annyfins Exactly this. Bikini is a part of the bodybuilding sport, which is all about aesthetics. The bikini division in particular is about creating a feminine look that is lean, defined, and symmetrical. Other women's divisions look different. For example, women's Figure is more muscular and...

    @heyimeugene When I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked terrifying with the dramatic tan and makeup. However, under all the harsh lighting on the stage, it does end up looking like a nice tan, and really brings out the definition!

    @authorann Thanks!! Yes, it’s totally possible. Follow your plan, keep your head up, and just keep going!!! I wanted to quit at times, but just know if that once you get to the show, you will feel such a sense of relief and accomplishment that you were able to stick through such a challenging...

    @bevinluvwithjesus Yes, I am a 5th grade teacher. It was very challenging juggling work and this prep for me, but it was much easier when the school year ended (which was June 26th for us).

    @cirix So I actually moved around the plyometrics day during the week depending on how I felt. If my legs were shot, I’d move it to a later day and do something like back or chest instead.
