Woman I got to be honest with you, I think you're crazy.

You're going to look amazing by show time. I wish someone told me this, but I figured it out on my own, the last 4 weeks is when everything starts popping. You got to careful not to be too ready before show time, cause our bodies are funny. You're right on track, and believe when I say I wouldn't say this if I didn't truly think so.

Tighten up the diet alittle omre, keep your ass in the gym, get all the other little things together and you'd be fine

You're lookin great girl! Nice quad development!

Here's what I'm finding about abs - mine are starting to come in the week BEFORE my show. In my mind that seems cutting it close, however in that time I lost a lot of bodyfat and also had to get a lot of loose skin tight - what I'm discovering is that the loose skin is most likely still containing fat, and that fat needed time to continue to be burned off as well as giving my skin some time for the natural elasticity to work.

7 weeks seems very close, but it is also a very long time away as well. SOOO much can happen in short period of time. The thing w/ contest prep is that you really have to take the long, persistent and patient view with it. It is a mental and emotional rollercoaster and you either stay on or get off. At 7 weeks out you look like you can easily take a breather (not junk out mind you, but just not stress too much on the diet) and then refocus again. But you do look fantastic!

Is it possible for someone to post a bigger non-plat picture? I am pretty new to the site, but I've been visiting a lot lately. My stats are very similar to Firecrackers. I'm 5'7", 125 lbs, 14% BF, and just over 8 weeks out from my comp. Very curious to get a better look at her pic.

Girls:

Thank you times a million! I so was ready to cry when I read your comments. I'm very very hard on myself and to hear your kind words is incerdible!

Thank you for being honest and for being supportive- EVERYONE! I came this far and I don't want to look back. I guess I'm just nervous that I'm not ready now. But, like Miss24k said, you can't be ready too soon. Right on. Impatient I am.

I will keep ya'll updated, thank you for the encouraging words.

You all really make me feel better and always put a smile on my face! I just hope I return the generosity!

You guys ROCK! I'm nervous as to why Shadow didn't write?
Oh, I tried to KARMA-lize everyone, but it won't let me for some. SO K to you all from my K heart!

Competition is a complete roller coaster thrill ride mind fuck orgasmic explosion that lasts 16 weeks. Just keep focused, off-gas when you need to and get back on the wagon. And don't just critique yourself. Look at others around you. And continue to focus on your improvements. Not just this or that physical, but a better day, more energy than the day before, a better nite sleep, a few extra reps, better form, more comfortable posing, whatever it is. Cuz you still need to keep in mind that what you let slide by or slacked on, another competitor may not, or what they slacked on, your attention to detail with constructive criticism may win over!

There you are!!! I know, I should have posted pics earlier, but I'm too critical of myself and don't like really "looking" at myself until I get to absolute perfection!

Shadow, thanks for posting, I was wondering where you were! Thank you for the compliments!

I'll be there, you just wait!! Firecracker's on FIRE!!!! mooohahhaha!
